Erin Ross 

Calgary’s Erin Ross has been playing a confident mix of Americana-roots music for many years. In February 2024 she released The Wind Will Lead Me Home, an assured, nine song collection that shows Ross’ command of the bedrock strains of roots, including blues, folk, rock and roll, and jazz. She followed this with a collection of singles that showcase her style of songwriting, exploring the dynamic relationship between her voice and her instruments. Her newest single, “As the Crow Flies” was released in 2025 and like Erin’s previous recordings, it ruminates on themes of home and belonging.

The Du-Rite Aces

These fellas have a style all their own! The Du-Rite Aces play a roots roundup of blues, jump, rockabilly, western swing and surf all mixed up into one big stew. The Calgary-based band features guitarist and bandleader Greg "Junior" Demchuk, a founding member of The Twisters and past member of The Rockin’ Highliners. In a career spanning over two decades, this retro-drenched guitarist has helped put the shake on dance floors from coast to coast and beyond across the pond. Joining Greg is an all-star cast of dynamite players with Mike Clark on sax, Chris Brziecki on upright bass and Kelly Kruse on drums. This is the band for you if you like live music played honestly with no gimmicks needed!


Bring your own chair or seat. Grab a spot as early as 6:30 p.m.; all shows start at 7 p.m. All ages welcome. Events are free to attend and tickets are not required.
