SUMMARY:Canada's IRON KINGDOM Forge "Blood and Steel" w/ Second Single From New Album "Shadows and Dust" Release Tour
DESCRIPTION:Calgary Show takes place at 7 p.m. on August 22nd at Dickens Pub. More information to be released for the upcoming show later on Dickens Pub Website: https://dickensyyc.com/events/ \nABOUT THE BAND:  \nVancouver\, Canada’s traditional heavy metal torchbearers IRON KINGDOM return with the second single from their upcoming sixth studio album “Shadows and Dust\,” due out June 6\, 2026\, marking their first release under their new label partnership with Steel Shark Records (France)\, which will offer an exclusive EU edition limited to just 300 double‑CD copies. Disc 1 will contain the full “Shadows and Dust” album\, while Disc 2 will feature a “Best Of” collection highlighting tracks from Iron Kingdom’s previous five releases. In addition\, the label will introduce a third vinyl colour (100 copies) available only to EU fans.\n​\nFollowing the momentum of their first single and music video “Defenders”\, the band now unveils the powerful new track “Blood and Steel”\, accompanied by an epic lyric video that dives deep into the album’s themes of endurance\, mortality\, and the human cost of ambition. \nBassist Leighton Holmes explains further: \n“The inspiration for ‘Blood and Steel’ came from two places. One draws from Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen\, and the other from imagining myself as a soldier in Alexander the Great’s army\, twelve years into a campaign\, thousands of miles from home\, questioning how I got there. The endless marching\, the battles\, the weight of the gear… It’s a brutal life\, and in a small way\, it parallels the blood\, sweat\, and tears of touring in a band.”​\n​\nMusically\, “Blood and Steel” stands apart in the IRON KINGDOM catalogue. \n“We wanted the song to feel like a march. It’s very bass‑ and drum‑driven in the verses\, with guitars layered in strategic spots. It’s a different kind of song for us\, and I think it’s going to add something special to our live sets\,” adds vocalist/guitarist Chris Osterman. \nWatch and listen to “Blood and Steel” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb8BIzHT3_Q​ \nAdd to your Spotify playlist – https://open.spotify.com/track/6SDL7czZLBENHKRRbFvrQl​\n​\n​“Shadows and Dust” is IRON KINGDOM’s most emotionally charged and thematically dark album to date\, ten tracks exploring death\, hardship\, impermanence\, and the resilience required to push through life’s most difficult trials. The cover art\, inspired by the story behind “Blood and Steel\,” depicts an army marching across a desolate landscape\, echoing the album’s central themes of struggle and perseverance.\n​\n​“This album plays in a dark realm. But that’s exactly what will make it accessible to people going through tough times. The music shows hope for a way out. It’s a journey\, one we can’t wait for fans to experience front to back\,” says Osterman.

SUMMARY:Anvil Pounding the Past 2026 tour with Midnight Hellion and LOVER
DESCRIPTION:Anvil Pounding the Past 2026 ‘Metal On Metal’ ‘Hard N’ Heavy’ ‘Forged In Fire’ with Midnight Hellion and LOVER \nWhere: Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club\n109 7 Avenue S.W Calgary\nhttp://thepalomino.ca/\n18+ with government issued identification\nWhen: Wednesday July 1\, 2026\nDoors: 7:00pm / Action 8:00pm\nAdmission: $22.00 advance at www.showpass.com\nNO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT!! \nAnvil (Toronto)\nFormed in Toronto in 1978 by childhood friends Steve “Lips” Kudlow (vocals/guitar) and Robb Reiner (drums). They had been playing music together since their teens. Initially known as Lips\, the band added bassist Ian Dickson and rhythm guitarist Dave Allison\, and in 1980 recorded an independent album titled Hard ‘n’ Heavy\, which introduced their penchant for sexual explicitness. Zany antics notwithstanding\, Anvil’s musical contributions were very real; their fastest songs were some of the earliest speed metal laid to wax\, while jazz-trained drummer Robb Reiner set new technical standards for the genre\, including pioneering the double bass drum technique that’s become a staple of much extreme metal since. \nAnvil were one of the first North American bands to push the sound and style of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal one step further. Indebted to the likes of Judas Priest\, Iron Maiden\, and many others from across the Atlantic\, Anvil nonetheless played louder\, faster\, and heavier than their heroes\, in the process laying the groundwork for the thrash movement that took over heavy metal’s underground in the ’80s. Anvil’s second and third albums\, Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire\, made significant waves in the metal community in 1982 and 1983. – www.allmusic.com \nhttps://www.instagram.com/lipsanvil\nhttps://www.instagram.com/anvil.metal \nMidnight Hellion (Trenton\, New Jersey)\nTheir distinctive style – classic\, no-frills heavy metal serving tremendously infectious spurts of thrash riffs with a straight\, fun stage attitude – made them a top pick for world-class acts to ignite their respective crowds. Bringing their strong regional fan base to the table\, MIDNITE HELLION shared the stages with OverKill\, Dirkschneider\, Grim Reaper\, Flotsam & Jetsam\, Obituary\, Diamond Head\, Raven\, Exodus\, Yngwie Malmsteen\, and many more. \nhttps://www.midnitehellion.com\nhttps://www.instagram.com/midnitehellion \nLOVER\nOld school guitar riffs\, 80s heavy metal soul \nhttps://loverrockofficial.bandcamp.com\nhttps://www.instagram.com/loverrockofficial

SUMMARY:Raul Midón | Elysia Biro
DESCRIPTION:JazzYYC & NMC Presents \n“…a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” – The New York Times \nBlind singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón headlines this double bill with a solo performance that reflects his prolific and genre-spanning career. A GRAMMY-nominated artist\, his music blends what he describes as “smooth folk\,” alt-pop\, and jazz\, brought to life through virtuosic guitar work\, expressive vocals\, and inventive live looping. His latest album\, Lost & Found (2024)\, continues a body of work shaped by collaborations with artists including Herbie Hancock\, Sting\, and Bill Withers. \nOpening the evening\, 25-year-old Vancouver Island-born\, Los Angeles-based vocalist\, songwriter\, and virtuosic pianist Elysia Biro performs with her trio.

SUMMARY:Aluna @ Common/UNDRGRD
DESCRIPTION:Fri Jun 26 2026 10:00 PM\nCommon/UNDRGRD\n731 10 Avenue SW Calgary\, AB T2R 0B3 \nPrice: $30 + fees and GST Tickets \nAges 18+ \nArtist Bio \nGenre: House · Singer/Songwriter \nOrigin: United Kingdom \nThe desire for change stirs from the inside. We either listen to it—or not. ​Aluna​ chose to listen. After generating over one billion streams\, selling out shows around the world\, and receiving award nominations and widespread critical acclaim as one-half of multi-platinum duo AlunaGeorge\, the singer\, songwriter\, and producer established an unpredictable and undeniable signature sound on her 2020 solo debut. The music represents the culmination of her journey from ​“a black girl in an all-white British suburb back in the day”​ to launching a rule-breaking revolution where rigid boundaries dissolve between culture\, race\, gender\, and genre. \n“The recent ​‘Black Renaissance’ ​is so inspiring to me\,” she explains. “There has been a pivot in all creative endeavors from film and television to plays and comics. Black people have begun involving themselves in non-stereotypical things regardless of who agrees. The outcasts have found each other. This project sums up a defiant\, rule-breaking\, and transitional election of new culture. To me\, this album represents that within its own small\, individual world. I’ve gone through the process of owning myself\, and this is the celebration.” \n“I feel like this is a time of rebirth for everyone\,” ​Aluna​ says. “That can be both scary and really exciting depending on which way you conduct your mind or your emotions. For me\, music has always been able to shift me towards the future\, positivity\, and high energy in order to do more.”

SUMMARY:Rainbow Patrol EP release show with guest Tannis Root
DESCRIPTION:Event Details \nDate: Friday June 26 \nCost: $15 admission \nTime: Doors at 7PM Show at 8PM \nAt High Line Brewing  \nJoin us in kicking off a great big weekend to celebrate the release of “Cataclysm” \nBand Bio \nRainbow Patrol is a progressive desert rock band formed in Lethbridge\, Alberta in 2014. Their current lineup consists of Richard Charlton (bass 2015-2021\, vocals\, guitar\, synth\, audio engineer)\, brothers Travis Arnoldussen (drums\, vocals)\, and Chris Arnoldussen (lead guitar) who have both been in the band since its formation. The latest and final addition to the lineup is Jacqueline Kennelly (bass\, backup guitar) who joined Rainbow Patrol when they reunited after a two year hiatus\, and exploded back into the desert rock scene with their new single “I Float” in 2022. \nTheir music has been described as a psychedelic mix of fuzz heavy riffs reminiscent of Queens Of The Stone Age\, The Sword\, Elder\, and Baroness\, with a groove that will make you think of Black Sabbbath. Top this off with unique vocals and multiple singers\, ranging from the hauntingly clean to earth shattering growls\, and you get a band that truly sounds like no other. “I Float”\, along with every other release to date has been produced\, distributed\, and marketed entirely independently by members\, and friends of the band. After favorable word of mouth and increasing presence online\, Rainbow Patrol received airplay on radio stations all across Canada from Kelowna BC\, to London ON\, as well as receiving national airtime in countries such as Italy\, Norway\, United States\, and UK to name a few. \nCurrently Rainbow Patrol is performing shows regularly in Southern Alberta\, where it is very likely you will hear one of their multiple new unreleased singles. This will be the only way you get to hear brand new\, unrecorded original Rainbow Patrol songs. Currently the members are all hard at work on recording new songs\, and with around an albums worth of new material being worked on\, you will be starting to see some singles and EP release in later 2025 with much more in the works to release in 2026 and beyond. Make sure to keep Rainbow Patrol on your radar for some of the best desert rock Alberta has to offer!

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.

SUMMARY:ADHD
DESCRIPTION:Ironwood Stage and Grill \n Thursday\, Jun 25th\, 2026\n 8:00 PM – 10:30 PM  \nGeneral Admission – $49.99  \nYouth (25 & under) – $19.99  \nThere are bands where every album is a step into the unknown. There are others whose development is a reliable and consistent expansion of their terrain. The latter applies to the Icelandic musicians’ collective ADHD.  \nIt is almost impossible to describe their concerts along traditional musical parameters. A performance by these four Vikings is always an all-encompassing ritual\, a magic potion of incantation dance and a phenomenon of nature. When keyboarder THÓMAS JÓNSSON\, guitarrist and bass player ÓMAR GUÐJÓNSSON\, saxophonist ÓSKAR GUÐJÓNSSON\, und drummer MAGNÚS TRYGVASON ELIASSEN are on stage\, the ordinary Middle European mortal will get at least a vague sense of how the island people in the very north of Europe have been able to survive the long and icy winters through the centuries. – They simply produce their energy out of themselves.  \nThis unbridled stream of human vibration\, which overrides all perimeters of genre and fascinates jazz fans as much as rock fans and ravers\, follows a most ancient human desire\, whose non-verbal impulse is older than any language and yet is entirely rooted in the present. The expanse of the cosmos and the infinity of time culminate in this happening of total music\, as well as a profound mysticism of free imagination and an unflagging confrontation with contemporary issues.  \nThe Gesamtkunstwerk ADHD cannot be quite captured in words. This sublime timelessness in the here and now can only be experienced. \nBand members\nÓskar Guðjónsson - saxophones\nÓmar Guðjónsson - electric guitar\, electric bass\, pedal steel\nTómas Jónsson - piano\, Hammond\, Synth bass\, melodica\, etc.\nMagnus Trygvason Eliassen - drumkit\, percussion

SUMMARY:Tareya at the King Eddy
DESCRIPTION:Canadian country-pop artist Tareya hits the legendary King Eddy stage on June 25. \nDate: June 25\, 2026 \nTime: 7:30 pm \nPrice: $30 in advance or $35 at the door \n  \nAbout Tareya: \nTareya is a highly acclaimed\, JUNO and CCMA-nominated Canadian country-pop singer\, songwriter\, and producer whose music has generated an estimated 12 million total streams across global digital platforms. \nOriginally from Calgary\, Alberta\, she achieved explosive nationwide prominence as the central female voice of the chart-topping country duo Autumn Hill. Green carved out a historic place in the Canadian music landscape when her work crossed over from country charts to mainstream pop radio\, a massive commercial feat that had not been accomplished by a Canadian country act since Shania Twain. Discovered via YouTube by Wax Records executives\, she quickly shifted from a budding solo artist into a powerhouse collaborator\, laying the foundation for a career defined by consecutive high-profile industry accolades. \nDuring her definitive five-year run anchoring Autumn Hill\, Green accumulated a catalog of critical milestones\, highlighted by two prestigious JUNO Award nominations and six Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) nominations. Her vocal performance and sharp songwriting sensibilities drove the duo’s two celebrated studio albums\, Favourite Mistake and Anchor. She co-penned and sang lead on a string of massive radio staples\, including the smash hit breakout crossover single “Anything at All\,” “Fire\,” and “Can’t Keep Waiting”. Her commercial momentum reached a peak on the charts when the powerful ballad “Blame” secured a coveted #1 music video spot on CMT and soared to a Top 5 position on country radio. These consecutive hits earned the group successive JUNO and CCMA Award nominations for Breakthrough Artist and Best Country Album. \nGreen’s status as a top-tier performer was solidified by her invitations to headline the national CCMA Awards broadcast in both 2014 and 2015. Over the course of her mainstream career\, she has shared arena and festival stages with global country superstars like Keith Urban\, Carrie Underwood\, and Tim McGraw\, and recorded an vocal duets with Canadian music legends Jann Arden and Tom Cochrane. \nFollowing an amicable split from the duo to reclaim her standalone artistry\, she re-emerged as an independent artist. She expanded her creative autonomy to write her debut solo record\, Stained Glass Heart\, which featured her highly successful independent digital release “Summer Wheels”. Most recently\, she returned to the spotlight with her new radio single “Highschool Sweetheart”\, continuing to build on her legacy of compelling storytelling and vocals and chart-topping singles.

SUMMARY:Hiromi’s Sonicwonder Presented by JazzYYC
DESCRIPTION:Headlining the 2026 JazzYYC Summer Festival. \nOver more than 20 years as a recording artist\, the jazz piano phenomenon Hiromi has shifted seamlessly from one spellbinding project to the next. In the process\, she’s earned a reputation as one of the most explosive live performers in jazz history and a global ambassador for the art form. Her many triumphs include an NPR Tiny Desk Concert that has racked up 2 million views; the opportunity to represent her native Japan with a performance at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo; 2024 winner for Best Music Score for the animated feature film Blue Giant (Award of the Japanese Academy); and a GRAMMY Award for a collaboration with fusion hero Stanley Clarke. Her artistry is — to borrow a descriptor The New Yorker favored — “dazzling.” \nIn 2023\, she released Sonicwonderland\, debuting perhaps the most expressive\, dynamic and versatile working band of her career. Called Hiromi’s Sonicwonder and featuring Hadrien Feraud on bass\, Gene Coye on drums and the trumpeter Adam O’Farrill\, the group furthered Hiromi’s distinctive musical alchemy: the spirit of classic jazz-rock fusion melded with classically rooted virtuosity\, entrancing funk\, pop flourishes and\, through O’Farrill’s trumpet\, acoustic jazz’s state of the art. \nThe album also did a remarkable job of capturing Hiromi’s mastery as a live entertainer. As The Guardian noted\, “Sonicwonderland is perhaps the closest thing to Hiromi’s onstage exuberance.”\nBut that was only the beginning. \nIn recent years\, Sonicwonder has continued to tour and work together consistently\, advancing their deep chemistry and fearless sense of interplay. The results can be heard on Hiromi’s new Concord release and 13th studio full-length album\, OUT THERE\, in which the group’s powerful rapport meets the pianist’s astonishing abilities as a composer on equal footing. As Hiromi explains\, “On Sonicwonderland\, I had the concept and the songs first\, and I was looking for the people who could play the music in the ideal way that I had in my mind. \n“Being with this group for well over a year\,” she continues\, “playing a lot of shows together and understanding each other\, I started to see more of their strength and what shines in them the most. So I started to write music with them in mind.” \nDon’t miss out—limited Pre-show VIP tickets include an exclusive artist meet-and-greet\, hors d’oeuvres\, and a pre-show cocktail starting at 6:30 p.m.
