Wednesday, November 23rd @ 7:30pm: Twin Flames
From the beginning, husband and wife duo Chelsey June and Jaaji have chosen to let their music speak for itself. And when considered alongside the nearly 30 various music awards and nominations they have accumulated over the past six years as Twin Flames, it is obvious they have something special going on.
Wednesday, November 16th @ 7:30pm: Anchors Up Tour
The ‘Anchor’s Up Tour’ will feature individual sets of music from three of Atlantic Canada’s most celebrated folk acts as they bring their songs and stories across the country.
Fortunate Ones is a JUNO-nominated contemporary folk duo from Newfoundland. With lush harmonies rising out of warm acoustic sounds, their latest album, That Was You and Me (2022), finds Fortunate Ones reflecting on life, loss, and hard times, and ultimately choosing love.
Old Man Luedecke is the recording and performing name of two-time JUNO award-winning songwriter Chris Luedecke. Known for his high energy banjo driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous stories, Luedecke has been successfully exporting his brand of high and lowbrow roots for fifteen years.
The Once deliver thoughtful and playful songs soaked with the poetic charm and sunny sadness of the JUNO Award-nominated trio’s collective disposition. Well known for haunting interpretations of traditional music, The Once has bloomed a sound that represents their up-springing inner artistry while their roots dig ever deeper into their idolized island of Newfoundland.

Presented by Canadian Tire, Prince Albert Police Service, Prince Albert Grand Council, the City of Prince Albert and the Municipal Cultural Action Plan
One of our nation’s most powerful voices will take the stage at the EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts in Prince Albert on Wednesday, November 2. Cowessess First Nation Chief Cadmus Delorme will speak on the importance of our roles, truth and reconciliation, and how we move forward together.
The June 2021, discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at the former Marieval Indian Residential School site was covered in a report by CBS’s 60 Minutes. Chief Delorme has led his community and our nation through these challenging times with compassion and humour. Educational and heartwarming, Chief Delorme’s ability to share truth leaves listeners feeling energized and hopeful.
This important event on November 2 will feature Chief Delorme’s presentation, the Barveenok Ukrainian Dancers, a question and answer session, and the Ironswing Singers. Free tickets must be picked up in advance, and LIMITED tickets are still available at the EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts Box Office.

Enclosing Some Snapshots:
The Photography of James Brady
September 15 – November 5, 2022
James Brady's life (1908-1968) is intrinsically linked to the history and politics of Métis communities in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Known primarily as a political activist, along with his life-long comrade Malcolm Norris, there was another side to Brady that is less known – his penchant for taking photographs. This touring exhibition is the first exhibition of these images, now in the Glenbow collections. (PS)
Love in Every Stitch
September 8 – November 5, 2022
Love in Every Stitch features the tangible stories of Métis women artists currently living in Kistapinanihk (the Prince Albert, SK region). Through the support of lead artists Leah Marie Dorion and Bonny Johnson, all participants were educated about the historic High Plains Métis Style Ribbon Skirt pattern and teachings; this served as the common framework for each of their sewing expressions.
