Canadian country music star Brett Kissel loves 鶹ѡ.

The “Make a Life, Not a Living” singer posted to Facebook saying how exhausted he was after his show on Nov. 24 at the 鶹ѡ Community Theatre.

“I don’t know if I’ve felt this way in my career ever,” Kissel expressed in a Facebook reel.

“I’m truly exhausted and it’s a beautiful feeling to be this exhausted and to have my cheeks hurt…It hurts from smiling.”

Kissel said some of the best crowds he’s had the opportunity to play for have been in 鶹ѡ, calling the group on Thursday night “magnificent”, adding that him and the band played five encores. “I’ll never forget it as long as I live.”
