Join us for a hilariously entertaining night at LPAC on March 9th for The Arrogant Worms, brought to you by Sunrise RV!
The Arrogant Worms have spent over three decades making fun of a big dumb world. Their songs have been played on the radio, the internet, and in outer space (on the space shuttle Endeavour). The Worms began at Queen’s University in 1991 when some members of the student cabaret group, The Queen’s Players, started writing songs and sketches for the campus radio station CFRC. Soon the group became The Arrogant Worms (Chris Patterson, Mike McCormick, and Trevor Strong) who have since toured ceaselessly across Canada (and select other parts of the world), released 13 albums, and recorded with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Their song, The Last Saskatchewan Pirate, has been covered by bands such as Captain Tractor and The Longest Johns, and their Happy Happy birthday song is a viral sensation with over one hundred million views of the various fan videos on YouTube. More than thirty years after they began, The Arrogant Worms continue to provide tuneful and silly escapism for everyone who needs it.

Brave New Writing

We are looking forward to a rockin' good time with Confusionaires as they Take on Buddy Holly!
Join us Saturday, February 8thDoors: 7:00 PMShow 7:30 PM
Confusionaires have built a sound that’s synonymous with the best country and rockabilly acts around, with a strong penchant for original songwriting. Featuring Buddy Holly songs and stories, and a second set of covers from other 1950's artists mixed in with their own original songs - makes for a full night of 50's style rock & roll!

Confusionaires are a world-class traditional rock & roll band that are steeped in both big-city rock & roll and small-town country music. Hailing from Edmonton, Canada, the trio of musicians has built a sound that’s synonymous with the best country and rockabilly acts around, with a strong penchant for original songwriting.
Since they began to record their third full-length album, a pandemic project “Westernization,” Confusionaires have broadened both their sound, and their reach beyond the barstool dwellers to include not only independent radio listeners, but also the festival and theatre-going audiences of Alberta and beyond. Their push to reach live music fans in these settings has proven fruitful, growing their fan base and their status beyond what seemed possible when they performing in the spring of 2016.
To date, Confusionaires have played over 100 shows in Western Canada, having played gritty punk rock shows and pristine theatre concerts alike, earning new fans in both settings. Now the trio is embarking on their first-ever international tour, which takes them to Nayarit, Mexico to play 8 shows between February 16th and 26th, 2024 before returning to Canada to start pre-production on what will be their fourth studio album.

Welcome to LPAC, Haley-Marie! A touring musician, a producer and holds a Master's of Music from Yale University, Haley-Marie is a three-time Carnegie Hall performer, a music historian and brings this live musical documentary to the stage with an intimate and captivating acoustic duo.
Join us Monday, March 17thDoors: 7:00 PMShow 7:30 PM
Combining 20 live songs, over 300 projected images and one unforgettable story, Haley-Marie brings to the stage
 “…AN AMAZING INSIGHT INTO ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME.  I WAS BLOWN AWAY…” - Ronnie Brown, Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts  

With years of research and musical analysis at her fingertips, Haley Marie delivers a world-class performance about four lads, how they rose to incredible fame, their connection to classical music and how they changed the world forever.
Becoming the Beatles is definitely not a tribute act. It’s a show about four boys: one born during an air raid, one who had to reverse the strings on his guitar to make sense of it, one who stayed up late practicing with tears in his eyes and another who couldn’t read or write until he was eight. It’s also the story of a visionary young producer who was desperate to find his way out of the ‘comedy division’ at Parlophone records.
Haley Marie’s in-depth analysis reveals the re-awakening of a world devastated by war, the genius of oppressed musicians in the Deep South, the unexpected inspiration from the classical greats and the heartbreak from the death of the band’s biggest idol. Haley Marie is a touring musician, a producer and holds a Master's of Music from Yale University. She is a three-time Carnegie Hall performer, a music historian and brings this live musical documentary to the stage with an intimate and captivating acoustic duo.
Hear first-hand how the band used flour and water to fasten their logo to the side of their van en route to Germany. How that same band was turned down by 80% of the English recording market yet defied the odds to become the most successful musical group in history.
Directed by Mary-Lu Zahalan, the world’s first graduate in the Beatles Master’s Program (Liverpool)

Anthropology graduate Joanie Little is stuck working as a barista. Rather than let this get her down, she decides to make the most of her “underemployment”. So, much like Jane Goodall did with chimpanzees, this upbeat Miss studies her only available subjects: the customers of her coffee shop ‘jungle’… hilarity ensues! Created and developed by Toronto’s critically acclaimed solo performer, Rebecca Perry, Joanie Little brews up a storm that you won’t want to miss! Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl is the internationally successful show for anyone who has ever had a job they didn’t like.
 

 
“Perry has a gorgeous jazz voice, capable of Cole Porter-esque perkiness and soulful richness” - ★★★★ - Broadway Baby
“Perry's performance is nothing short of stunning... connecting with the audience and never losing us for a second.” - ★★★★★ - Fringe Guru UK
“Impeccable comic timing and faultless delivery. Perry is an animated and engaging performer.” - ★★★★★ - The Nouse UK
“Clever, amusing and wonderfully executed… I would highly recommend you see it.” - Arts Award Voice
“Her comedic timing is spot on, her acting is superb as she slips in and out of characters, and her singing is pitch perfect. The description for the show says that it’s suitable for ages 9-99 and I think that’s true.” - Mooney on Theatre
“Loved every minute of Rebecca Perry’s “Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl.” What a talented, generous artist. And, what pipes! Even bought the CD.” - NNNN - Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine
“This is solo show performance at its best, with Perry rolling out a cast of characters in Joanie’s world like a wild kingdom field guide. I dare you not to fall in love with Joanie Little – and, by extension, Rebecca Perry.” - Life With More Cowbell
Sold out in more than 20 cities internationally!

Join us Friday, April 4thDoors: 7:00 PMShow 7:30 PM
Under the Rocks is one of Canada’s premier emerging bluegrass acts. This heartfelt, talented bluegrass quartet that blends uplifting energy with a reflective reverence for the difficulties of reality that marries joy and sorrow and declares “YES”. Yes to all that it means to be alive on this planet, here and now.  

Hailing from Kelowna, Canada, Under the Rocks has emerged from a city with no other bluegrass acts to become one of Canada’s premier bluegrass bands. Featuring acoustic guitar (Jordan Klassen), fiddle (Chloe Davidson), banjo and mandolin (Chris Baxter), and upright bass (Nils Loewen) the band makes a big sound that tips its cap to tradition while incorporating singer-songwriter music intentionally put together with clever, inventive song arrangements, emotive instrumental breaks and powerful vocal harmony. Their shows commonly feature dancing, laughter, joyful hoots and hollers and serene moments accompanied by tears and tranquil sighs of release or appreciation.

Perhaps it is the sense of space, the living skies and the clear view to the edge of the horizon that breeds artistry in those who live in the Canadian West. 
As the Prairie Sons, cellist David Liam Roberts and pianist Godwin Friesen embody the expansive, nuanced perspective of their home landscape in their concert program. The two award-winning musicians met at the Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School of Music, and recognized a kindred spirit in each other. Both hail from the Prairies, began performing alongside other members of their families, and have been named to CBC’s list of Hot 30 Classical Musicians Under 30.
The energy and innovation of the Prairie Sons invites you to take a fresh look at a familiar landscape, and to witness the miracle in the everyday.

Miji Campbell: 
Author of Separation Anxiety and Creator of Write Where You Are workshops. As a kid, I'd always dreamed of being a writer, but got serious about it after I had kids of my own. Five years into motherhood, ten years into a teaching career, I began to write. Eventually, my articles were featured in magazines and newspapers. After several years of writing about other people's life experiences, I wanted to write about my own. I went back to university to explore life writing and memoir. I hoped to write a book. Which sounded easy at the time. What I did learn was how writing personal stories helped me take care of myself. They balanced and sustained me. And I began to share this experience with others, offering "Write Where You Are" workshops to discover and honour the stories in each of us.
Mike Szabo: 
Mike Szabo had a late start to his music career. Truth is, he never saw it coming. In just a few short years Mike has written his own book of songs and has been featured on CKUA, CBC and Windspeaker Radio. What he loves most though, is perform for a live audience.  
Mikes school of music?Decades spent around Alberta Campfires, singing the songs of the some of the world’s best songwriters. While you may well hear those influences in his music, Mike has definitely found his own voice and his songwriting is beginning to be noticed. 
With words that don’t hold back and with his heart on his sleeve, Mike paints a vivid picture of life and the world around us, transporting you from a seat in the audience, to a special place in your memories and your heart. 
2024 brought Mike invitations to play his songs at folk clubs, festivals, civic events, house concerts and songwriters showcases around Alberta and with a new studio album soon to hit the airwaves, 2025 could be a busy year for this Alberta singer songwriter. 
Veronica Graves: 
Veronica Graves is a local Felt artist who was born and raised in the county of Ponoka. She grew up wild and free playing and exploring deep in the woods, which fueled her passion for nature.
