Joined by the exceptional shoegaze act, Prairie, and burgeoning indie rock band, Speedreader, the show is unmissable for fans of Winnipeg's independent music scene.
Royal Wood - Have A Heart Tour
Have a Heart
Longtime fans of each other, Royal Wood and Fortunate Ones are tired of being touring ships passing in the night. Both are musical miners of the heart, so they decided to call this The Have a Heart Tour. It’s been a long time coming, but well worth the wait!
Bonaduces w/ Greg Rekus and the inside job, mise en scene
Punk. For fans of Fear, Fucked Up, Blink 182, The hives, Sum 41, Mischief Brew, Chuck Regan, Mountain Goats, Frank Turner
The Bonaduces are a Winnipeg punk band that have been in existence since 1994 at various levels of function. They toured and recorded extensively in the 90s and have released exactly one song in the 26 years since, but are currently at work on their long long long long long awaited third (or fourth, depending on how you feel about cassettes) full-length album.
Greg Rekus’s passion for music is bursting at the seams. It is the driving force that keeps him constantly on the road and cranking out album after album of folk punk goodness. During live performances, audiences are treated to an entertainer who treats the stage as his home. With high energy and infectious enthusiasm, Rekus has a natural ability to engage with a diverse assortment of crowds from around the world. His lyrics speak to common experiences, such as drinking in a favourite hometown bar, or the simultaneous joy and heartache of falling in love, but also do not shy away from making pointed political commentary, coloured with the anger and frustration that comes along with it. Delivering each line with a force that is rivalled by few other solo artists, Rekus emphasizes his words with every strum of his guitar, pounding the beat out on his custom-built stomp box. His hard work has already gotten him to places he never thought attainable, and as far as he’s concerned, the only way from here is up.
Mise en Scene is the grunge pop/garage rock band from the small Canadian prairie town of Gimli, Manitoba. Founded by BFF art school dropouts Stef and Jodi, the band is known for their whirlwind of rock-rooted, reverb-drenched dream pop that perfectly meshes modern vibes with vintage charm. Mise en Scene has turned heads on the stages of major international festivals like SXSW, Reeperbahn, The Great Escape, and Spain’s Primavera Sound. Daydreaming decadence and jam-packed dancefloors, they bring a raucous symphony of rolling thunder drums and Rickenbacker riffage with a bark that matches its bite.
Honky Tonk Man Show: Tribute to Dwight Yoakam
The Honky Tonk Man tribute show celebrates the best of honky tonk music icon Dwight Yoakam, delivered by the energetic and talented five-piece HTM tribute band. This all-Canadian band fronted by Greg Mildenberger includes Winnipeg’s own Dale Thomas on lead guitar. The HTM band delves into the vast Dwight Yoakam catalogue with humour, anecdotes and great music.
Credited with the 80s-90s revival of honky-tonk and hillbilly music, Dwight Yoakam’s popularity spawned over 30 studio, live, and compilation albums, 37 top charted singles, three #1 albums including a triple-platinum album ‘This Time’. Yoakam has also amassed two Academy of Country Music Awards and two Grammys!
You’ll hear hits like Guitars Cadillacs, 1000 Miles From Nowhere, Fast as You, Honky Tonk Man, and many more Yoakam originals and cool covers that he’s recorded during his career.
Honky Tonk Man tribute show. A tribute to the music of Dwight Yoakam. It’s honky tonk baby!

The Australian virtuoso recently described as 'the finest guitar player of this generation,' has been selling out concerts around the globe — and in the spring of 2026, he’ll bring his now-famed live show to intimate venues across Western Canada!
“Do whatever it takes to get in the front row!” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia
“A generational talent that must be seen to be believed.” – Roots Magazine, UK
Don’t miss your chance to see live music at its finest!
Daniel Champagne lives and breathes music. Playing upwards of 250 concerts around the world each year, he is as loved globally as he is in his homeland of Australia. His signature guitar style and formidable stage show have garnered accolades and dedicated fans worldwide.
Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, the story goes that the young artist first picked up his instrument of choice at age five, following in the footsteps of his musical father. He began writing songs at twelve, trained classically throughout his teens, and performed wherever he could — honing his craft and developing the electric live show that he is renowned for today. At eighteen, he finished school, turned professional, and hit the road without looking back.
The following eighteen years have seen him release seven studio albums, sell out concerts across the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun, and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins, and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Expect jaw-dropping guitar skills, songs that carry the heart away, and the stories of a troubadour that will stay with you long after the last note rings out — a Daniel Champagne show is not just a concert, it’s an experience.
WHAT THE PRESS SAY
“The word ‘prodigy’ seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills. He coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” – The Calgary Herald, Canada
“Today I saw the future of folk — festival-goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” –
The Firefly Column, USA
“A generational talent.” – Roots Magazine, UK
“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads, fusing the strong traditions of blues, folk, and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” – The Indie
Blender, Canada
“Reinventing roots guitar.” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia
“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy who plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.” – BW Review, New Zealand
“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably carry the heart with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is simply magical.” – The Music, Australia
“You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities afresh.” – Ted Gioia, American jazz critic and music

Ireland’s favourite comedian/Mammy translator, Jarlath Regan returns to the stage with a brand new show for 2026. The world knows and loves him for his hilarious daily clips, now it’s time for you to see this Gas Man in person. Jarlath Regan’s brand new 2026 standup comedy show is packed to the gills with his unique brand of spot on observational standup material and ridiculous stories. “Prepare to cry with laughter” (The Post)Following millions of views and a sell out world tour, Jarlath is making good on his promise to bring his audience a brand spanking new show every single year. Now is your opportunity to grab a ticket.
We are all going to need a laugh in 2026 and Jarlath is here to deliver it. In this world of unending negativity, bleakness and cynicism there’s never been a better time to come and escape from it all for a night of quality laughs courtesy of “the jewel in Ireland’s comedy crown” (The Examiner).
Jarlath first burst into the public consciousness in 2023 when his Instagram and TikTok videos took the world by storm. Patrick Kielty dubbed him “A comedy master at work”. The Irish Times refers to him as a “comedy genius”. Audiences can’t get enough. Jarlath’s last tour was a sell out across America including 5 nights at the legendary Gramercy Theatre off Broadway. In 2025 the Kildare man travelled globe and won the hearts of audiences across Canada, Australia, the U.K. and Ireland. His January residency at Dublin’s 3Olympia has now become a fixture in the comedy calendar.

Gas Man features 90 minutes of jokes and stories never before seen on stage or screen. If you like your comedy smart, sharp, warm and searingly funny, then this is the show for you.

The Kubasonics w/ Zrada
Ukrainian speed folk, psych-punk. For fans of Gogol Bordello, Lemon Bucket Orchestra, Polky, Altın Gün, King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard
Kubasonics are arguably Newfoundland's finest Ukrainian band. This award winning group combines top-flight musicianship spiced with quirky humour, a dizzying array of exotic traditional instruments, and an eclectic high-energy stage show. Their unique brand of mile a minute speed-folk is balanced with haunting ancient melodies and heart-warming stories that offer a window into a unique and vibrant culture. From large concert stages to intimate workshop settings they never fail to capture an audience. And with splashes of traditional Newfoundland tunes as an important part of their hybrid musical mix, a Kubasonics show is an experience not soon to be forgotten.
Zrada
In 2006 a conspiracy of Ukrainian language musicians in Winnipeg came together as Zrada and have been making some of Canada’s most innovative psych-folk music ever since. Drawn together by their love of Ukrainian folk-music and all things metal, Zrada’s music began as both a tribute to tradition as well as a cultural wrecking ball. Prog-rock keyboards, dueling accordions and violins, heavy guitars and drum sounds from the abyss mercifully come together to create a truly transformative sonic experience. Zrada has performed throughout Canada on festival stages and are a mainstay in Winnipeg’s diverse scene.
SADAA - Echoes, Stories from Palestine
Storytelling, photography exhibit, and music

Drawing from lived experiences and creative work inspired by Palestine, the gathering brings together images, color, and storytelling to explore memory, land, identity, and belonging. Through visual art, stories move beyond words—holding grief and hope, loss and resilience—within a shared space for reflection, connection, and community. All are welcome.
SADAA founder Izzeddin on the meaning of the name: In the Arabic language, Sadaa means echo. My goal with Sadaa is to create the mountain top from which voices and stories are allowed to echo. To be the catalyst for marginalized narratives to be carried into the world.

Don Amero Trio w/ Antonio Larosa
Country-rock and Roots.
For fans of: Patrick Drowney, Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton
Don Amero is a captivating singer whose soulful sound and heartfelt storytelling have made him one of Canada’s most beloved performers. A multiple JUNO and CCM Award nominee, Don has spent nearly the past two decades touring and speaking across the country, earning admiration for both his music and his message.
Of Cree and Métis heritage, Don brings authenticity and purpose to everything he does — from his powerful performances to his ongoing advocacy for Indigenous communities. Whether on stage or off, he leads with heart, hope, and a deep desire to uplift others.
Antonio Larosa is a country-rock and roots artist whose music blends the grit of blues, the soul of vintage rock, and the storytelling of classic country. With a voice that channels the spirit of Elvis Presley and the emotional weight of Chris Stapleton, Larosa creates songs that are heartfelt, lived-in, and unapologetically honest. Raised in Vancouver, BC, Larosa was drawn to the music of Johnny Cash, The Allman Brothers, BB King, and Roy Orbison from a young age. His music reflects those roots: raw, rhythmic, and filled with sincerity, but filtered through his own lens and life experiences.
Robert Thomas & the Sessionmen
"A vibrant fusion of John Prine's sharp wit and Lyle Lovett’s musicality paired with the Live energy and spirited performance of their Canadian cousins, Great Big Sea. Thomas and his stellar mates craft a fun, memorable musical experience that harmonizes storytelling with dynamic stage presence.” - The LA Times
Cara Luft Album Release
Folk, Singer-songwriter.
For fans of The Wailin' Jennys and The Small Glories, plus Gillian Welch, Sarah Harmer, Neko Case, Brandi Carlile, Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin, Linda Thompson
One of Canada’s most acclaimed and much-loved singer-songwriters Cara Luft makes a long-anticipated return with a joyful solo album – her first in over 13 years. The culmination of a period of upheaval and transformation, the album is Cara’s most assured and personal work to date. Cara's guiding principle was simple: to work with friends who embodied kindness, consideration and be generous of spirit. From this ethos emerged the foundations of her new album and a trusted creative entourage she affectionately calls “the quadrangle of awesomeness": musician/singer/songwriter Clayton Parsons (Creanbrook, BC), session musician/producer Soctt Poley (Liverpool, UK) and engineer Julia Graff (Vancouver, BC). Recorded over 12 days in Vancouver, Cara, Scott and Clayton sang and played nearly everything themselves – guitars, banjos, electric bass and pedal steel – making it an intimate and cathartic experience. It showcases Cara’s remarkable musicianship and uncanny ability to sing about personal things that resonate deeply with the listener without descending into navel- gazing. “I want to create and offer a reflection of the human experience,” she explains. The result, My Heart Will Always Be, is a tour de force. The album is both a personal declaration and a celebration of music’s enduring power to heal, connect and bring joy.

The Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir - Album Release!
Prairie alt-folk
For fans of The Kingston Trio, The Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir, The B-52s, if Alison Krauss and Nick Cave had three sets of triplets
Hot off a year which saw them playing at The Winnipeg Folk Festival as one of The Wandering Minstrels (thanks to Fred Penner for jumping in to sing backup on Jaybird), leading a raucous kitchen party for The Moose ’N Fiddle Festival at Caliper Lake, Ontario, as well as packed backyard concerts, protest concerts and Park Alleys, The Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir are thrilled to be launching their full length album Chimes at Midnight at WECC - one of their favourite venues.
Joined by opening acts Amby and The Lady Lumps.
About Chimes at Midnight
A full length album featuring fan favourites from the last few years. The songs run the gamut from cheeky folk-pop to lively dance numbers, murder ballads to lamentations. Themes include friendship, social anxiety, and all our bad choices.
This album was a pursuit of what we love and carries with it all of the sacrifice, hard work, resilience, patience, forgiveness, and understanding that comes with getting it made.
Arising out of a time a great uncertainty, we, as a group, are aware that our love of music is a gift we share with each other, and in turn a gift of joy we send out into the world.
The Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir concert has been selected for the Setting The Stage mentorship program, sponsored by RBC and powered by Canadian Live. This amazing initiative supports independent and emerging artists.
Two Pianos, No Rodeo
Blues, Rock, maybe even Classical
For fans of Blue Rodeo, Blues keys
Past and present Blue Rodeo pianists Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski join forces.
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 meets Burroughs 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 grand piano.

Winnipeg Pro Wrestling - Voyageur Cup 2026 - 2 NIGHTS

The third annual WPW VOYAGEUR CUP takes place March 13 and 14 at the West End Cultural Centre
Michael Kaeshammer
Jazz-based pop, R&B
For fans of the crooners, Adam Baldwin, Michael Buble, Rufus Wainwright
Something magical happens when Michael Kaeshammer sits at the piano. Sure, like all pianists, he plays 12 notes across 88 keys. But the musician and songwriter coaxes dazzling, kaleidoscopic sounds from his instrument in a way few can rival.
So, it’s no surprise that Turn It Up — Kaeshammer’s towering 15th album — is superb, a dynamic, rollicking collection though one stubbornly resistant to a single, catchall genre. “Eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop” might come closest to the mark, but it doesn’t quite capture it all. Like his sprawling record collection, which houses everything from AC/DC to Erik Satie, Kaeshammer’s songs reflect his boundless appreciation of music in whatever form it takes.
Across a brilliant, globe-trotting career highlighted by nine tours of China, three appearances at the Olympics, and countless shows opposite international superstars, the German-born, B.C.-based Kaeshammer has electrified audiences with his indelible repertoire and consistently positive outlook on life which infuses his lyrics. “I am a very positive person,” confirms the seven-time JUNO Award nominee and unabashed foodie, who hosts cooking show Kaeshammer’s Kitchen on Vancouver Island’s CHEK TV. “I really love playing shows and being on-stage. If Turn It Up helps me to do more of that, then I’m all in. Music is my favourite thing to do.”

Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar with Marcus Trummer - Reckless Hearts Tour
Modo Live presents Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar
with Marcus Trummer
RECKLESS HEARTS TOUR
“A Powerhouse Band and Vocals That Shake The Foundations”
Martin is the lead singer, songwriter and focal point of the group. A dynamic front woman, she possesses a stunning voice that is capable of summoning up tidal waves of spine-tingling emotion in one instance while delicately bringing out the nuances of a gut-wrenching lyric in the next. A torrid force of nature, night after night she takes audiences to emotional peaks while leaving them stunned with her sheer pin-you-against-the-wall power.
While Martin is a powerhouse unto herself, the vocal alchemy of Delta Sugar is not the work of a single talent. In combination with what she likes to term her “co-vocalists,” the vocal blend that Delta Sugar produces is pure, unadulterated gospel-tinged, neuron-tingling magic where the sum is even richer than the already soul-melting parts.
The first single from Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar’s stunning new album, The Reckless One, is a four-on-floor stomping dance track entitled “Don’t Have To Be.” Sporting a melody that will have listeners singing along, the track features swirling Booker T-inspired organ, a swaggering horn line and Samantha Martin’s trademark hurricane-force vocals. Irresistibly catchy, the song has been filling dance floors every night since she started performing it.

Hiss Golden Messenger w/ Christine Fellows
Part of Winterruption Festival. Co-presented by Real Love
Hiss Golden Messenger of Durham, North Carolina, a vehicle for singer-songwriter M.C. Taylor, calls up a wide spectrum of American vernacular music — from Archie Brownlee to the Staple Singers, and from singer-songwriters Van Morrison to Townes Van Zandt. After relocating from California to North Carolina, Taylor began to record material under the name Hiss Golden Messenger. Though his initial recordings featured only his voice and guitar recorded to a cheap cassette recorder, recent Hiss albums have incorporated horns, strings and choirs. “(Taylor's) songs are smart and complex enough to betray a bigger and more insane question: What makes a person happy?"
