Featuring:
D’orjay The Singing Shaman
Artist Sponsored by Duncan Craig LLP
This ain’t your grandaddy’s country music, despite it paying homage to the classic country D’orjay The Singing Shaman grew up with in rural Alberta. And it sure as hell ain’t stadium girls-trucks-beer country. Instead, she colours outside the lines with anthemic, bold blues, honky-tonk and rock-flavoured roots with a distinct queer, Black twist. Her powerful warm voice guides orchestration featuring piano, syncopated electric guitar, paced banjo, fiddle and steel guitar, all with a healing self-reflection.
Kaeley Jade
A vibrant presence with a voice like velvet, folk-pop singer/songwriter Kaeley Jade weaves lush imagery and hooky melodic lines to craft music that is both poignant and playful. A Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award nominee, Kaeley has performed on stages across Canada including the Taste of Edmonton, Tkaronto Music Festival and World Music Week. Reminiscent of artists like Maggie Rogers and The Lumineers, her music has received radio play across North America, has been added to major playlists across streaming giants, and has been placed in several film and television productions.

From Mississippi and for 2 nights only, Robert Johnson’s grandson and The Sons of Chicago celebrate the man, the myth, and the music.
Cloaked in mystery, blues legend Robert Johnson changed the course of American music. His songs have been covered by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Cream. In addition, he has inspired movies, and literature, and has influenced generations of musicians. Eric Clapton called Robert Johnson “the most important blues singer that ever lived.” Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, and Robert Plant have cited both Johnson’s lyrics and musicianship as key influences on their own work.
Do not miss this rare opportunity to experience the music and the legend!

The evening will feature live performances, art displays, and a buffet dinner. Not to mention that entry is FREE!
Edmonton, AB – Storytelling – Past, Present, Future. Like many crafts, storytelling is an evolving practice. For African, Black and Caribbean communities storytelling has taken shape in many forms. From oral traditions, to music and dance the art of storytelling remains a pillar for our identities. Stories tell us about our history, help us make sense of our present, and give us hope for the future.
To capture the transforming essence of storytelling, YEG TheComeUp will be hosting Melanin Narratives VII – a multi-media art showcase presenting the talent of local Black artists. The theme we will be exploring is storytelling – past, present and future. Our goal is to shine a light on the power of stories to transcend time and space while also being told in new and innovative ways. Through our showcase, artists of various disciplines will be given a platform to share their stories and their creative approach to telling them.

About the Band:
“Between steady touring over the past 5 years we have had the pleasure of playing many great festivals in Alberta, NWT and Manitoba and our show has always gone over extremely well with even the most discerning audiences. In our performance we try to combine the outstanding musicianship of the golden era of Country Music, the banter & humour of Hee Haw and the long standing western tradition of storytelling. Country connoisseurs and those who ordinarily detest country music seem to cast aside their differences and embrace our genuine, charismatic approach and our happy go lucky delivery.”
Buck Or Two Buckaroo is the 4th album by Boots & The Hoots featuring seven new original songs recorded direct-to-disc by Ian Dillon in Calgary AB and is available to purchase now!
