Step back in time to 1957 and relive the electrifying sounds of early rock and roll! Musician and storyteller Steve Olson uncovers the incredible true story of the concert by four future Hall of Famers -- Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Wanda Jackson -- that shook his hometown of Camrose. Using classic guitars, historic photos, and masterful storytelling, Olson brings to life this "rockabilly roadtrip" from Memphis to small-town Alberta. Don't miss this one-man rockabilly spectacle where legendary songs, untold history, and nostalgia collide!
“More than one music fan…have wished for a time machine…to wedge into those packed auditoriums on the vast plains and in the Canadian Rockies…to see Johnny Cash [& The Rockabillies] young and raw and wild, singing into Art Deco microphones that looked like something that shook loose off the hood of an Oldsmobile…” – Rick Bragg
“I had the pleasure of witnessing a 15-minute concept presentation of this performance at the Alberta Showcase in October 2024. I was impressed by Mr. Olson's artistry and the compelling nature of the show. With the combination of storytelling, music, and projections, I am confident that Johnny Cash & The Rockabillies will resonate strongly with our community and audiences across Canada. I was particularly drawn to this production as it uniquely a rural prairie story.” 
-Nick Beach, General Manager, Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre 

 
Stephen Olson is a classically-trained guitarist who learned to play Chet Atkins thumb-picking from his Uncle Lyndy. By playing bass and melody lines simultaneously, Stephen can authentically replicate the country and rockabilly sounds of the 1950s. Stephen draws the audiences in with his electric performances and stories from this golden era of music.
 


Johnny Cash & The Rockabillies

John Hewitt is a force not seen since the end of the 70’s. There are bands, artists and songwriters that mimic and imitate but John Hewitt absorbs and reimagines. From folk clubs to house concerts, festivals to halls John is a master of storytelling, arranging, producing and a painter of poems scarcely seen in today’s musical climate. Since his early teens taking in the powerful sounds of the Beatles, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and the Grateful Dead he has been wandering, searching and yielding a crop of new ideas from the old world.  A multi-instrumentalist from Sault Ste. Marie Ontario and being Alberta bound since 2018 John’s mark on the Western music scene is impossible to go unnoticed. Performing over 150 shows per year (From Alberta and British Columbia to Montana, Colorado, California and beyond), covering 20,000 miles per annum and releasing upwards of 3 albums in that same timeframe there is no comparison to the work ethic, the attitude and the drive that John has as an artist. Fronting the New Americans and touring solo most of the year his output impresses the young and the old, the folk and the rock, the country and the town and the only thing left at the end of the night is a feeling you won’t get anywhere else.
 

 
A poet born in the heat of Las Vegas, Abigayle Oakley blends the melodic richness of folk pioneers with the lyrical honesty oftoday’s confessional singer-songwriters. Her songs explore the complexities of life and the existential questions that shape us, often with a sharp, tongue-in-cheek wit that adds layers of humor and insight.
Abigayle made her Bluebird Cafe debut in 2024. She has toured the US and Canada opening for acts such as The War and Treaty, Jed and The Valentine, Forest Blakk and more.
Her songs have been recorded by Nashville artists including Kate Yeager, Molly Frances, and CMT’s September Artist of the Month, Ash Ruder. When not writing, practicing, or performing, you can find Abigayle hiking the beautiful hills of Tennessee.

Jâca is an award-winning clarinet/guitar duo that combines world music, virtuosity, and humor to bring an adventurous, passionate, and completely original musical style to the stage. Jaca combines the intimacy of an instrumental duo with a larger-than-life energy to create an experience that consistently leaves audiences buzzing. “At a Jâca concert you’re not just a bystander, you feel a part of it.” – Humans of Chamber Music.
Described as an “alluring and stunning combination” (Take Effect) Jâca’s music is truly a unique fusion that fits into no single genre. From Flamenco to Fado, Appalachia to Argentina, and guitar slides to clarinet smears, the duo explores the highest limits of what their instruments can do. Their debut album, Breakthrough (Navona, 2022) has been honored by worldwide organizations including the International Portuguese Music Awards (Best Instrumental Performance 2023), and the International Clarinet Association. Portuguese-Canadian clarinetist Wesley Ferreira is an acclaimed soloist and orchestral musician. He always brings his infectious positivity, big smile, and way too many reeds to every rehearsal. Dividing time between his home in Spain and his native USA, guitarist Jaxon Williams is an active performer of both Classical and Spanish Flamenco styles. He also knows more about fingernail care than a certified beautician and can slap on a fake nail in 5 minutes or less. Since 2018, Jâca has brought their infectious charm to arts series and music festivals across the USA and worldwide. They have played in prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall and have been featured on national television and radio in Portugal, Ecuador, and the USA. Press outlets have described the duo as being “at the forefront of an exciting new wave of chamber music groups” (Sneak Preview), and praises Jâca for “pushing classical music forward” (Culturs: Global Multicultural Magazine).
Dividing their time between the USA, Canada, Spain, and Portugal, this 21st-century duo represents the limitless potential of an interconnected world.

Late Night - Fully Improvised
It’s late. It’s live. It’s completely made up.
It's late-night television like you’ve never seen it before where every moment is improvised and anything can (and will) happen. With a opening monologue crafted moments before the show all by the funniest minds at Bull Skit Comedy, the night kicks off in classic talk show fashion… before veering delightfully off the rails.
Our host welcomes a rotating lineup of fascinating, exceptional, and entirely (or at least mostly) imagined guests each one more unpredictable than the last. From awkward interviews to outlandish stories, musical performances, this show pulls out all the stops.
This isn’t just a talk show. It’s a live experiment in comedy, character, and chaos.

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!

"My creative interests revolve around ‘old world’ expressive activities. Exploring art using materials from days gone by gives me a peek into the past. I love to use natural materials. I enjoy fibre arts of all kinds, calligraphy and mixed media, where vintage items can be incorporated into my pieces. I have a soft spot for ancient handwork techniques such as knitting, spinning, tatting, felting, quilting and embroidery. I also love beautiful hand written words on fine paper. Recently I have been experimenting with eco-dyeing on fabric and paper, which brings nature into my work. I love how my art process, using any medium, calms my mind and makes room for the spirit to enter."
