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.

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: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: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.
