SUMMARY:Palehound Gus Englehorn Jo Passed Brock Geiger
DESCRIPTION:Palehound \nThis musical brainchild of El Kempner — who’s recently shared stages with the likes of Big Thief and boygenius — turns anxious confessionals and jagged guitar lines into indie rock songs that hit like serrated diary entries. Palehound’s devastating-yet-triumphant stage presence can be previewed on their fifth album\, the 2024 release Live at First Congregational Church – a solo performance recorded while on tour with Adrianne Lenker. That said\, you can expect the thunderous full band at Sled Island. \nGus Englehorn \nA former pro snowboarder reborn as a nomadic psych-pop prophet\, Gus Englehorn has lived a rollercoaster life that reads like one of the fantastical fables that fill his songbook. His third album\, 2026’s The Hornbook\, magically transmutes the entire history of 20th century rock and roll into an alien transmission from the future. \njo passed \nJo Hirabayashi ­– the singer\, songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer behind Canadian indie rock project jo passed – is very much alive\, even though his latest album\, Away\, took eight years to come out. Released this past January\, his sophomore LP is well worth the wait\, with 11 air-tight indie jams that are begging to be played live. \nBrock Geiger\n\nWith his debut LP Some Nights\, Brock Geiger takes a bold step out from the shadows of the sideman role\, shining a spotlight on his refined chameleon-like songcraft and indie rock sensibilities. The record has garnered attention from NPR and Rolling Stone and serves as a perfectly distilled introduction to the mind of a Calgary indie-pop auteur. \n\n\nTickets $30.

SUMMARY:Sydney Mae with Backyard Betties (duo) and Ron McNeill
DESCRIPTION:Americana artist Sydney Mae joins forces with folk group the Backyard Betties (duo) and roots-country artist Ron McNeill at the legendary King Eddy on June 18. \nEvent Details:\nDate: June 18\, 2026 \nTime: 7:30 pm \nPrice: $20 \nAbout Sydney Mae: \nSydney Mae is an award-winning Americana/Alt Country/Roots recording & performing artist whose voice has the rare power to stop a room in its tracks. Currently based in Toronto\, she has been recognized internationally for her gift of superior storytelling & silence-commanding performance. \nHer debut single\, “Feet First\,” soared to #1 on Stingray Music’s Pop Adult channel\, has earned 500\,000+ streams\, and was featured twice on Netflix’s Love Is Blind (Ep 403; Ep. 813). \nAfter making strides in Nashville performing at the iconic Bluebird Café in a Songwriter’s Circle\, opening for Travis Meadows at 3rd & Lindslay\, headlining Calgary’s ‘Country Thunder\,’ opening for Miranda Lambert at Big Valley Jamboree\, and many more\, Mae’s next and most powerful chapter is just around the corner with new music brewing. \nAbout the Backyard Betties (duo): \nThe Backyard Betties are a Calgary-based folk/Americana band known for honest songs\, rich harmonies\, and engaging live shows. Typically a four-piece\, this stripped-down duo features Nancy Laberge and Pip Hazell\, bringing the music back to its roots\, storytelling\, connection\, laughter\, and a sound that feels both intimate and powerful; the kind of show where you’ll laugh\, reflect\, and quietly think\, “yeah… I’ve been there.” \nAbout Ron McNeill: \nRon McNeill’s musical roots run deep. Born into a large musical family on the east coast of Canada\, picking up an instrument and jamming with the family band was second nature. Surrounded by gospel\, classic country\, and old-time rock and roll\, McNeill’s writing came to reflect these early influences. As a songwriter\, McNeill has had over 90 cuts\, with songs charting in Canada\, France\, Australia\, South Africa and the USA. McNeill has achieved international success co-writing\, producing and singing\, the theme song for “The Love Of The Children”\, documentary. The Film won the coveted Angel Award at the 2013 Monaco International Film Festival. \nMcNeill is the two-time winner of Ole publishing’s songwriting competition\, “Hitsville\,” at the Canadian Country Music Awards. He was also signed as a songwriter for the former Lake Land Publishing\, based In Nashville Tennessee. McNeill’s debut album\, Waiting On The Day\, reflects a lifetime of experiences\, and for the first time\, McNeill is able to tell his stories as both an artist and a songwriter. McNeill’s raw\, heartfelt delivery takes listeners on a journey of past struggles and hardship to redemption and enlightenment. His vocals resonate outlaw country with powerful lyrics and mainstream hooks. Ron McNeill is a proud supporter of ‘For The Love Of The Children Society.’

SUMMARY:Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet: A Tribute to Lionel Hampton
DESCRIPTION:Born into New Orleans’ first family of jazz\, Jason Marsalis – youngest son of the late pianist-educator Ellis Marsalis Jr. and brother to Wynton\, Branford\, and Delfeayo – has carved his own unmistakable path as both a virtuosic drummer and one of today’s most imaginative voices on the vibraphone. \nMarsalis launched his career behind the drum kit\, and by his late teens he was touring the world with Marcus Roberts\, digging deeply into mainstream jazz\, fusion\, Brazilian influences\, and the full spectrum of New Orleans traditions. His sideman credits read like a modern jazz honour roll: Joe Henderson\, Lionel Hampton\, Jon Batiste\, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, among others. He has also served as a Jazz Ambassador for the U.S. State Department. \nIn the early 2000s\, Marsalis shifted his creative focus to the vibraphone – a move that has since positioned him as one of the instrument’s essential contemporary innovators. Through his Vibes Quartet and numerous collaborations\, he has pushed the American vibraphone lineage forward with wit\, clarity\, and a deep sense of swing. In 2011\, he became the youngest-ever recipient of the NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship when the Marsalis family was honoured at the White House and the Kennedy Center. His 2013 album In a World of Mallets topped the CMJ radio charts at Number 1. \nFor this special concert – the Jason Marsalis Quartet offers a vibrant\, forward-looking celebration of Lionel Hampton\, created with the blessing of the Lionel Hampton Estate. \nMarsalis approaches Hampton’s repertoire not as archival material but as living\, breathing music: joyful\, hard-swinging\, and fully alive in the present. Expect ringing vibes\, deep grooves\, and the kind of electric stage energy that defined Hampton’s legacy – channelled through Jason Marsalis’s own blend of humility\, fire\, and unmistakable New Orleans spirit. \n\n Wednesday\, Jun 24th\, 2026\n 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM \nGeneral Admission – $49.99\nYouth – $19.99\n\nBand members\nJason Marsalis – vibrapphone\nChris Tauchner – piano\nJeff Gammon – bass\nNate Chiang – drums

SUMMARY:Sound Atlas Festival
DESCRIPTION:Influence is a resonance— sometimes audible\, sometimes ghostlike—passing between bodies\, disciplines\, and ideas. In these realms\, sound is a coalescence of past and present affected by who listens\, who remembers\, and who responds. \nThis season’s Sound Atlas Festival gathers sound as a living geography—charted not by borders\, but by forces that shape how music is imagined\, made\, and shared. We are thrilled to present season IV Realms of Influence\, with our ears fixed on the currents that move through contemporary creation: lineage and rupture\, place and displacement\, technology and touch. Across three days\, the festival becomes a meeting ground where composers\, performers\, and listeners step into overlapping worlds\, each shaped by distinct gravitational pulls and soundscapes rooted in modern composition\, sound design\, and inspiring performances of chamber music. \nWith this year’s featured composer\, Kevin Day\, the artist lineup reflects influence not as hierarchy\, but as conversation. Established voices share space with emerging ones; acoustic ritual collides with digital speculation; local histories resonate alongside global idioms. Some works trace their power back to mentors\, and traditions\, while others are shaped by machines\, networks\, and the altered acoustics of modern life. \nThe Sound Atlas New Music Festival invites audiences to wander through these zones of exchange\, where music reveals the invisible forces acting upon it—and upon us. Here\, influence is not something we escape\, but something we inhabit\, reshape\, and send forward\, carrying its echoes into new terrain. \nJoin us June 26-28 2026 at Contemporary Calgary for Realms of Influence.
