Calgary 
Events Description
Zany, lovable, unfiltered, ferociously talented and on point but off kilter, Haligonian Steve Poltz is everybody’s instant new best friend and every entertainer’s role model for his bravura performances that trade set lists and safety nets for spontaneity, hilarity and high wire improv. His ability to carry all this off is built on a foundation of prodigious song-writing that has earned him the respect and affection of industry peers such as Jewel. He describes his, ahem, process in the studio as: “like convincing a whirling dervish to stop spinning long enough to sign a bill into law. It’s chaos, caffeine, and accidental poetry—art colliding with microphones and commerce in a glorious mess.” As I said, your instant new best friend. Welcome to the Club. poltz.com
First Up: Jed and the Valentine (AB)
A breath of fresh air on the Alberta music scene, Jonah Morris and Maria Khaner are a young duo with an earthy, accessible sound built on lush, soulful harmonies, an indefinable alchemy and charm that oozes from the stage. Jed and the Valentine captured the hearts of festival audiences in Alberta and caught the attention of CKUA with their 2024 debut, awake!, filled with playlist-ready songs that on first listening are already old favourites. In Like a Lion, Out like a Lamb (2025) is their sophomore album. jedandthevalentine.com
