THE STAMPEDERS .... One More Time
Coming To Select Prairie Theatres
Tickets On Sale Friday, December 12th!
 
‘They're on their way, to the city lights’ ... and, THE predominant Canadian Rock ‘n’ Roll band of the 1970s – The Stampeders – are bringing along all their classic hits: Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Devil You, Ramona, Minstrel Gypsy, Hit the Road Jack and, of course, the quintessential Canadian – and Hall of Fame – song, Sweet City Woman! A veritable soundtrack to a whole generation that will ‘carry you home’ ... maybe not to Birmingham ... but back to a time of tie-dyed t-shirts and elevator shoes, 15¢ coffee and homemade apple pie, dating and dreaming ... By the time The Stampeders get to the first chorus of the first song, everyone will be singing along.
No seventies group represented Canada's musical identity to the world like The Stampeders. A quick look at Canada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country's international musical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group during that time.  In 1977 the trio: Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums) and Ronnie King (bass) parted company but reunited, fittingly at the Calgary Stampede, 15 years later in 1992. Since then, they’ve been recognized by SOCAN for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the SOCAN Songwriters Hall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit Sweet City Woman.
In March 2024, just before the Ontario leg of this tour, Ronnie King passed away.  In the final days, while in palliative care, he insisted that his band mates carry on.  Dave Chabot, renowned bassist and longtime friend of the band, who was already scheduled to be on the tour to sit in for Ronnie as needed, was the obvious choice.  Still, Ronnie remains a presence at every show, as Rich and Kim share stories from 50plus years on the road and pay tribute with a retrospective video.                                                                                                                    
The enduring musical legacy of The Stampeders ... One More Time ... 'better catch a noon train, better get there for a rock 'n' rolling good time!’

Ron James - The Noise Between Our Ears
 
All ticket sales are final—no refunds or exchanges.Beware of ticket re-sellers when purchasing tickets.
 
Canada's #1 stand-up road warrior Ron James, is in the driver's seat once again and bound full throttle for the 'big wide open' with his new show, 'The Noise Between Our Ears'.
With a seismic level of socio-political change shifting a reality we long took for granted, what better way to process the cacophonous overload of stimuli than in the language of laughs. 
'Fresh out of wrapping' content skewers everything from the tyrannical Tangerine Genie south of the border looking to turn us into the 51st state, to aging Baby Boomers not but twenty years away from roaming 'the home' in their Led Zeppelin onesies, just one more sing a long away from taking a Stairway to Heaven! Alongside these macro issues is a window on the daily trials of a technologically compromised ADHD addled adult, who came of age in a day when 'hash tag' was something you got after getting too close to the hash knives! Whether getting comedic mileage with classic bits on generational differences in families then and now; teacher terrors of public-school days; hand me-down hockey gear; party hearty camping trips with pals in those 'bullet proof days of yore', there's something for everybody. 'Ultimately though, 'The Noise Between Our Ears' sees Ron as the ever struggling 'Everyman', doing his best to make sense of a world off kilter while bedeviled by forces beyond his control, where airlines constantly lose luggage, stock portfolios nosedive, mortality's the new reality and the barber spends more time trimming your ears than he does your head!

Evolve[-]d Productions & Souluna Inshala Festival present:D A R K N I G H TA Winter Solstice Gathering
Saturday, December 21st 2024 at Evolved Movement Arts.
Doors open at 7:15PM
There is a night each year when the darkness feels deepest, when the earth exhales and everything turns inward. On this night, we do not push against the dark — we step into it. We gather not to banish the night but to honor it, to listen to it, to gather, to move, to dance and to celebrate.
Dark Night is our ritual to celebrate the winter solstice. Here, you are invited to arrive as you are — weary or joyful, grieving or grateful — and lay your heart before the night. Move your body to the music that rises like a slow tide, dance with your shadows, or rest as needed in community.
This is more than a gathering. It is a ceremony of return — to yourself, to your community, to the quiet pulse beneath all things. As the night passes, the darkness gives way to the first hint of dawn, reminding us that even in the longest night, the light waits patiently to be born again.

When winter’s magic begins to fade and the North Pole teeters on the brink of chaos, one unlikely hero must step out of the shadows—Jack Frost. Known mostly for nipping noses and causing snow days, Jack is dismissed as mischievous and unreliable. But when a mysterious Shadow steals the Spirit of the holidays, plunging the world into endless gray, Jack must summon courage, cleverness, and a little icy flair to save the holiday season.  It’s a tale of courage, magic, and believing in your own sparkle—because sometimes, the coldest heart hides the brightest light.

Home FrontHOME FRONT from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, have been blasting out of everyone’s stereos for the past 3 years with their unique combination of THE CURE, BLITZ, EURYTHMICS, and SUICIDE wrapped up with modern production and tightly wound hooks. Unrelenting 2nd LP “Watch It Die” soars high and reaches deep with frayed punk edges wrapping around canonic pop luxury. A record about moving through life while acknowledging death, about humanity, rebirth, dreams and community - all powered by vintage drum machines, analog synths and screaming guitars. A punk pop crossover treat like no other.https://arewenothomefront.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/arewenothomefront
Real SickiesHot on the heels of their 2020 WHO Vaccine benefit album “Quarantined”, Real Sickies are back to make your heart skip a beat and your butt leave your seat with Love is for Lovers! The new album is a stellar collection of 14 timeless songs about love (duh), loss and heartache served up as only the Sickies can. From explosive rockers to heart-wrenching ballads, Love is for Lovers has the whole enchilada! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dance the night away to the romantic sounds of Edmonton’s answer to the Ramones.https://realsickies.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/realsickies
ClosetalkersThis is a Calgary three-piece with their first release on Neon Taste Records. After a well-received demo in 2023 they're out the gate with another nasty take on their particular brand of D-Beat: A fetid heap of UK Crust making out with salty Scandinavian D Beat. If the blatant violence of Secretors made your scalp sweat or you just dig a hard gallop with riffs to match, Closetalkers lock in fast and stay strong to the finish.https://www.instagram.com/close.talkershttps://neontasterecords.bandcamp.com/album/path-to-peace
PøltergeistPøltergeist is a mix of Post-Punk, Traditional Metal, and Shoegaze from the frostbitten plains of Alberta, Canada... Spectral hauntings created from various musical, artistic, and literary influences.https://poltergeistovdoom.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/poltergeistovdoom
 
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, the Iyarhe Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations), the Battle River Territory of the Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 & 6, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

Q: Do I have to purchase my ticket in advance?A: Tickets are available both online and at the gate (subject to availability). However, to avoid disappointment, we recommend securing your tickets in advance as some dates may reach capacity. If something comes up, tickets can always be exchanged for another day (subject to availability).
Q: Why the change? A: Ensuring the safety of our guests is our top priority. Moving to a walking format allows guests to take in the displays at their own pace safely, enjoy photo opportunities, and experience the magic of the lights in a whole new way. 
Q: Can I bring my dog?A: Yes! Simply purchase a Paw Pass ticket on your selected date, and scan it at the gate along with your ticket. All dogs must remain on a leash at all times and can only enter designated areas.  Please ensure you clean up after your pet.
