Catherine McLellan & Gordie (Crazylegs) Mackeeman at Saturday Night Special

Chinook Musical Society presents a series of high-quality musical acts every year under the name "Saturday Night Special".

We host performers from folk and country, to blues, Celtic and folk rock. While we do bring in acts from all over North America, and some international, we are especially proud to showcase Canadian and Alberta talent.

The evening opens with our house band and two sets from our headliners.

On Saturday, February 1st, 2025 we present an amazing double header!

Gordie “Crazylegs” MacKeeman has wowed audiences around the world with his high-octane performance, “crazy legs” style of fiddling and has visited our Saturday Night Special Stage in the past with his “Rhythm Boys”. This time we will be treated to Gordie on his own with a set that will have you toe-tapping and dancing in your seats!

Catherine MacLellan is Juno, ECMA, and East Coast Music and Canadian Folk Music Award winner. She is a seasoned performer with a lovely voice and amazing song-writing chops that draw on a range of personal experiences including friendship, advice to her daughter, mental health challenges, forgiveness, and the passage of time.

Catherine engages her audience with story-telling and introductions to each song that are almost worth the price of admission on their own. And be sure to keep an ear out her beautiful cover of “Snowbird,” a song famously written by her father, Gene MacLellan.
