Fronted by the second-best gymnastic coach on this side of 2nd Ave West, the Bryce Elliott Band is more exhilarating than your first pole vault. Their set is packed with hidden gems; a real emotional rollercoaster start to finish. Will you cry, laugh, live and love? Probably.
With his Luke Bryan-Influenced debut at the Country North Show some 12+ years ago, Bryce has since proven his flexibility expanding into 70s & 80s pop hits, and 00s indie rock staples. The songs are the Pommel Horse, and the show is the Chariot; LETS RIDE! Get tickets here.
Joining Bryce will be Joel Rohs (guitar & vocals), John Germs (guitar & vocals), Kayanna Wirtz (keys & vocals), Kirk Pilon (bass & vocals), and Zach Kerr (drums & vocals).

From June 11th to August 21st the Mann Art Gallery is pleased to welcome Jason Baerg back home to host his mid-career retrospective. This exhibit charts 25 years of the artist’s work compromising installation, immersive projection and painting. He writes “I was born to be a Metis Artist. Raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, I was inspired by media and everything that was creative on-air!” And while much of his work is conceived on the computer, produced by laser cutters and installed with data projectors, he thinks like a painter. It’s where he started as an artist, and his ongoing allegiance to painting reverberates powerfully when he states: “Painting is a sacred bundle that echoes through ancestral time, carry it responsibly and make a meaningful contribution to it.” Baerg’s work consistently evokes and challenges themes of community, ritual, urban migration, Cree cosmology, Indigenous relationality, survivance, the Indigenized Anthropocene, language revitalization and Indigenous Futurisms.
