The Once (NL) with Sam Steffan (AB) In Person

Main performer The Once (NL)

Newfoundland’s highly respected and decorated indie folk collective comprising Geraldine Hollett, Andrew Dale, and Phil Churchill, The Once released Out Here in 2024, a healing, ethereal and ultimately glorious lament for humanity, perfectly attuned to this moment for a world in search of hope and solace. With deep musical roots in their province of origin, tinged with bluegrass, country and Americana, their sound is at once intimate yet expansive, soothing yet thought-provoking, familiar yet exploratory. Let them envelop you in the blanket of their natural warmth as they probe the boundaries of Canadian music in their uniquely unassuming, charming way. https://www.theonce.ca

Opening performer Sam Steffen (AB)

It’s a long, crooked road to Edmonton from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania via Boise, Idaho, but it’s been the career path of choice for Sam Steffen, a young troubadour steeped in the old-school vibes of Woody Guthrie and early 60s Greenwich Village folk. Settle back and let Sam be your guide as he reminds you what authenticity, honesty, truth and three chords sound like. https://samsteffen.bandcamp.com/album/at-least-there-will-be-love-2
