The Three Sisters in Concert
2026-05-05 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | Bc
A manifestation of pure joy, The Three Sisters bring together the considerable talents of singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Heather Jean Jordan, Irene Poole, and Ji Won Baxter.Like so many iconic female trios before them—The Andrews Sisters, Trio, The Good Lovelies, and The Wailin’ Jennys—three distinct voices blend to create musical alchemy that transcends genre and style.Named after the iconic Alberta mountain range, the trio builds their sound on rich harmonies and inventive instrumentation (piano, violin, ukuleles, and bass) while traversing sonic landscapes of folk, jazz, opera, and original music. Their performances reach breathtaking highs and otherworldly lows,always carrying a light in the darkness.Since their inception in late 2024, The Three Sisters have delighted audiences with sold-out shows at Canmore artsPlace and appearances at East Coulee Spring Fest and the Canmore Folk Festival.Between them, the members have released two albums and include Calgary’s 2025 YYC Emerging Artist and Banff’s Poet Laureate. They are currently recording their debut album, with a crosscountry tour planned for 2026.

Tickets $25 at the door, $15 for low-income community. Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30. Volunteer & get in free!

Two Pianos, No Rodeo
2026-05-27 19:00 - 22:00 | Bc
Up Close and Intimate with Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski.

This isn’t a concert.It’s a piano séance in two acts.Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski, two of Canada’s most unpredictable keyboard minds are taking turns dismantling and reimagining what a solo piano set can be. One piano. Two artists. Zero cowboy hats.

THE PLAYERS:BOB WISEMAN Founding member of Blue Rodeo. Punk pianist. Lo-fi provocateur. Think Monk meetsBurroughs at a Toronto dive bar. Expect sound collage, biting satire, sonic left turns. Nothing’s off limits.MIKE BOGUSKI Current Blue Rodeo pianist. Ambient soul explorer. A master of restraint and reverie. Piano as landscape. Melody as memory. Quiet storms and cinematic swells. Musical cliff jumping.

THE NIGHT:Each artist takes the same piano and launches in opposite directions – solo, stripped down, wide open.One piano. Two deeply personal journeys.No safety net. No genre crutches. No rodeo.Come for the clash of styles.Stay for the communion.This is piano as protest, as prayer or as whatever they feel that night.“Two Pianos, No Rodeo” is for those who like their art live, unexpected and slightly dangerous. Think of it less like a show and more like two sonic postcards from different planets sent through the same grandpiano.

Part of the Up Close & Intimate Series, there will be refreshments for sale.

BEAUT BEAUCHAMP is coming again!

Material Theatre returns to the Whole stage with another rendition of BEAUCHAMP, their gonzo new show written & starring Aaron Pickett as Beaut Beauchamp.

Beaut’s like if a college football coach did a lot of psychedelics and decided to start coaching artists. Pumping you up for the big game, Beauchamp is part clown, part stand-up, part spoken word poetry, and all balls. A rollicking, profound, laugh-out-loud pep talk for artists and art-lovers alike, Beauchamp will put gas in your tires and air in your tank for whatever it is you’re lookin’ to create.

Tickets at Rambling Rose in Winlaw, or available at the door for $20-$25 a pop. Show starts around 7pm on Friday, June 5th.
