2024-06-06 18:30 - 21:30 (America/Edmonton) | Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre, 8426 Gateway Blvd, Edmonton, Canada
Described by Roots Music Canada as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music” the Red Dirt Skinners are the multi-award winning multi-instrumentalist husband and wife team of Rob and Sarah Skinner. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years.
The duo cross more genres than would make sense to mention and have won National and International Awards in Rock Folk Blues Country Roots Alt-Rock and Songwriting. It would be fair to say that if you like songs influenced by Pink Floyd Simon and Garfunkel Supertramp Queen David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling humour and heartfelt emotions you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert.
With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.
A Red Dirt Skinners concert combines captivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship. The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Be prepared for laugh-out-loud lyrics followed by songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!

When Life Gives You Melons By Kate Sheridan
2024-07-12 - 2024-07-13 | Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre, 8426 Gateway Blvd, Edmonton, Canada
“When Life Gives You Melons” is an innovative and heartwarming production that delves into the challenges and triumphs of living with dyslexia. Sheridan, who holds a Masters in Fine Arts from the University of Alberta, skillfully combines her talents in acting, writing, and directing to create a unique theatrical experience. Through the use of physical comedy, Sheridan brings humour and empathy to a topic often misunderstood.
Kate Sheridan expressed her passion for the project, stating, “Dyslexia is often seen as a hindrance, but I wanted to show that it can also be a source of strength and creativity. ‘When Life Gives You Melons’ is not just about dyslexia; it’s about embracing our differences and finding joy in the unexpected.”
Sheridan’s approach to storytelling is both entertaining and enlightening, using her own experiences and extensive research to inform the narrative. The play promises to resonate with audiences of all ages, offering a blend of laughter, insight, and inspiration.

Garret T. Willie With Markus Trummer:
As part of their 40th Anniversary celebration, The Commercial – Home of Blues On Whyte presents a Keeping The Blues Alive showcase of Canada’s freshest Blues talent, Garret T. Willie, with special guest Marcus Trummer!
Hailing from Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia, Garret T. Willie is set to deliver a formidable 21st-century kick to rock ‘n’ roll with his wild, heartbreaking, and hilarious stories. While his life of serious hardships grants him the right to sing the blues, it’s Willie’s rock ‘n’ roll spirit, wisdom, wit, and world-weariness beyond his 23 years that truly defines his essence on stage.
Marcus Trummer, a young artist from Calgary, blends blues, soul, R&B, and rock into a modern sound rich in tradition, earning praise from the Calgary Herald as “a precocious guitarist whose vocals possess a wise-beyond-his-years weariness.” With accolades such as the Blues Recording of the Year at Calgary’s YYC Music Awards and winning the Telluride Blues Challenge, Trummer is solidifying his place as a compelling live performer and a rising star in the blues and soul music scenes.
Tickets are available here!
