SUMMARY:Everlae at King Eddy with special guest Brooke Elquin
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Everlae hits the legendary King Eddy stage on July 17. Special guest Brooke Elquin will open the show. \nEvent Details:\nDate: July 17\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 pm \nPrice: $15 in advance on SHOWPASS or $20 at the door \nPlace: King Eddy \nAbout Everlae: \nEverlae is a solo musician\, singer\, and songwriter from Calgary\, Alberta. She began writing songs out of high school after getting her now well-worn Taylor guitar\, recording early demos in a friend’s basement studio. Originally an acoustic singer-songwriter\, she later studied classical voice at the University of Lethbridge but left that path to focus on her own music. Under her previous name\, Amanda Michelle\, she released her debut EP 10 Whole Minutes and performed the release show while eight months pregnant. \nOver the next eight years\, music took a back seat as she raised four children. Now\, with her kids in school\, Everlae has returned to music with fresh inspiration and a new sound. Still writing on guitar\, she’s now leaning into an ethereal\, indie pop direction inspired by Owl City\, The Chainsmokers\, Lights\, Vanessa Carlton\, Lord Huron\, and Taylor Swift. She is in the middle of the production of her first EP under the name Everlae. \nAbout Brooke Elquin: \nBlackfoot singer-songwriter\, Brooke Elquin\, makes indie-pop music that integrates playful honesty with emotional depth\, proving that not all meaningful music has to feel heavy. Known for her unique melodies and mesmerizing tone of voice\, Brooke is becoming a familiar face in the Calgary music scene. Her debut single Bird in the Winter\, recorded as a raw\, off-the-floor session with live instrumentation\, marks the start of a deeply personal project.

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.
