Main Performer: KITCHINPARTI (NL)
Hailing from Pouch Cove, NL, KITCHINPARTI is an East Coast Music Awards-nominated family trio whose joy, razor-sharp harmonies and dynamic performances are the essence of a Newfoundland kitchen party. Tyler Humber, Terri Lynn Hickey and Justin Hickey add guitar, bass and tin whistle to their stellar vocals, igniting stages with an infectious blend of original songs and reimagined trad tunes for five years and counting. Thriving on audience connection, their performances are warm and unpretentious, featuring harmonies that are “tighter than Nan’s clothesline.” The trio is wrapping their third studio album, slated for release in early 2026. Clear the decks, pass the screech, call the neighbours, break out the fun… and hide the crockery. kitchinpartimusic.com
Special Guest: Daniel Moir (AB)
Daniel Moir is an Edmonton-based singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist with four solo albums to his name. His sophomore release, Road, which takes listeners on an alt-folk, quasi-cinematic journey through the Canadian landscape, was produced by Russell Broom. And his latest release, Swing and Sway, was an entirely solo effort, from production, mixing and engineering down to the cover art. With widespread CBC airplay, placements on NBC and 4/5 stars from the Edmonton Journal, the arc of his career star is fast ascending. danielmoir.com

DOUBLE BILL:
Sam Steffen (AB)
It’s starting to dawn on the Canadian folk scene that we drafted a quiet, unassuming diamond in the rough named Sam Steffen when he followed his partner’s academic tracks to relocate from Bethlehem PA to Edmonton. A master of long-form song lyrics, he puts the true back into the troubadouring, recalling the old-school vibe of the 60s Greenwich Village folk era. Echoes of Phil Ochs, Woody, Arlo, Pete, Joan and Bob reverberate as he reminds us how authenticity, honesty, truth and three chords can change the world. If you were in the room and felt the palpable buzz when he debuted at the Club in Fall 2025, you know exactly what I mean.

Kellie Loder (NL)
Approaching household name status in Newfoundland, Kellie Loder started their music career in contemporary Christian music after growing up in a Pentecostal household. Career success was already underway, assisted by JUNO and CFMA attention for their outstanding albums, when things took a dramatic turn in 2022. Kellie auditioned for Canada’s Got Talent, where they knocked out the judges and eventually placed second. In 2023, Loder won two East Coast Music Awards and also released a cover of Sonny’s Dream by Ron Hynes. Possessing a powerhouse voice and authenticity of the kind that turns listening into a transformative experience, the last word goes to the great Jane Siberry, who simply said: “Kellie Loder gives music a good name.” kellieloder.com

Main Performer: Oscar López Trio (AB)
Born in Santiago, Chile but a Calgarian since 1981, Latin guitar legend Oscar López made a welcome return to music in 2025 and is back in full force with a new album, Ahora o Nunca (Now or Never). With six JUNO nominations culminating in two awards and side projects along the way including a Celtic-Latin duo with James Keelaghan in the early 1990s called Compadres, López has always followed his Muse with a restless fervour. The one constant in his career is his inspired, dynamic, passionate playing, which makes him an instant crowd favourite whenever he hits the stage. In full flight, there are few guitarists in the world who can match him for sheer incandescent virtuosity. Lean in and let the fire warm your soul. oscarlopezofficail.com
Special Guest: WriteOn In the Round (AB)
Sadie-Lee blends pop-country influences into relatable, genuine songs that have surpassed 500,000 streams and earned a 2022 YYC Music Award nomination in the Emerging Artists category, highlighting her talent and growing impact. Tim Scarrott is an indie folk artist with a work ethic inspired by his background in carpentry and teaching. Communication, connection and love shine through in his warmth on stage. A bilingual artist from northern Alberta, Meera Sylvain is working on her second EP (forthcoming in 2027) that showcases stories from her farming background and her country-rock milieu.

Main Performer: Scott Cook and Pamela Mae (AB)
You have been living on road as a touring full-time folkie since 2007, much of that time in camper vans like the latest one, which you’ve dubbed Roadetta. You broadcast solar-powered livestreams from the back of the van. Teaming up with you in your quixotic global adventure is your life partner and double bassist, Pamela Mae, with whom you are about to release your latest album, Troubadourly Yours. The release is delayed, waiting for you to finish the liner notes. For most musicians, liner notes are a minor detail, but not for you. Your previous album, Tangle of Souls, came in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book. That’s your idea of liner notes. You are a plainspoken, award-winning song-writer, loved wherever you go. You are Scott Cook. scottcook.net
Special Guest: Delta Whiskey (AB)
Delta Whiskey is an acoustic trio that fuses folk, Celtic and bluegrass. Based in Calgary the band features Chad Cook (vocals, mandolin, guitar), Seán Sabraw (vocals, guitar, bodhrán, percussion) and Scott Duncan (vocals, violin, mandolin). Scott is a fiddle savant and long-standing friend of the Club, having last appeared with John Wort Hannam, while Seán is a familiar face from The Buccaneers. Warm harmonies round out their engaging originals and entertaining banter. facebook.com/DeltaWhiskeyBand
