Friday, August 21, 2026


Prairie Soul is an independent Multi-Genres, Metis singer-songwriter from Manitoba, Canada. A "something for everyone" songwriter and performer. Where you can expect to hear multiple styles of music such as folk, rock, blues, Canadiana/roots, funk, pop, reggae, upbeat world music.

Saint Whiskey is Winnipeg’s rising country-rock force, delivering high-energy performances built on soaring vocal harmonies and big, undeniable hooks. Blending outlaw grit with modern swagger, they channel the spirit of Hank Williams Jr. and Johnny Cash through the drive of Zac Brown Band and Brooks & Dunn, with a southern-rock edge inspired by CCR and Blackberry Smoke.

Musicians come together to wrap up the first night with the Annual ROGerKimLee Collaborative Jam!

Orvis belongs to a traditional Cree/Ojibway family with multicultural roots and was raised in his home community of Pimicikamak Cree Nation. Orvis is an adept recording session player specializing in bass, electric and acoustic guitar, as well as voice.

Alanna Finnson and Sean Mourre play an eclectic mix of jazz standards and 80’s pop/rock. Each song is consciously picked and portrayed with intricacy and vulnerability, drawing an audience into forgotten nostalgia.

Debra Lyn creates a mood full of energy. Rich vocal tone that sounds like smooth leather worn with time and a range to hard driven blues that scuff a dance floor.


A solo acoustic singer/songwriter from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ryan Maier performs a mix of folk, blues, and jazz, playing mostly original songs with some fun standards and adaptations. Ryan brings exceptional guitar skills with an ear for textured songwriting. Expect intricate fingerstyle melodies and slide-work that push boundaries and transgress genre.

Fuller Hull is a is a country folk singer-songwriter from Brokenhead, MB. He is a “second chance” of sorts, and he's not your typical up-and-comer. Like a well-worn farm tool, his songs have rustic handles and sharp hooks that produce some of the finest materials his farm life has to offer.

Shay Wolf brings an ethereal alt-pop experience to the stage, blending heartfelt songwriting with a dynamic live performance. Joined by upright bass and drums, her trio creates a rich, cinematic sound that moves seamlessly between intimate moments and powerful, uplifting energy.

22-year-old singer-songwriter and guitarist Silas Presley is emerging as one of Manitoba’s most electrifying new artists. Blending psychedelic rock with blues-driven guitar work and smooth, soulful vocals, Silas brings a theatrical, high-energy performance reminiscent of the 1960s & 1970s.

D.B. + The Deadbeats perform a mixture of Blues Standards and put them on steroids as well as some classic rock favorites and originals.

In the vibrant tapestry of Canadian music, the Dust Rhinos stand as a spirited testament to the infectious allure of Celtic and folk rock. Hailing from the musical heartland of Winnipeg, this quintet has been carving its sonic path for an impressive three decades.

Deb Tripp is a Winnipeg-based acoustic guitarist who blends folk, folk rock, blues, and a touch of country into a style all her own. Mixing original songs with well-loved covers, her performances offer something familiar with a personal twist.


Much like his Métis roots, Gilles’ distinct musical style emerged from a blending of cultures; those from the world of classical violin and those from the world of Canadian Old-Tyme and Métis fiddle.
