Steve Poltz has spent more than three decades as a singer-songwriter-performer of the first order, earning international applause and fans around the world with his inspired brand of rockin’ countrified folk Americana.
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia but living most of his life in Southern California, he first made his bones as frontman for underground legends The Rugburns and has gone on to establish a critically lauded 14-album solo catalog. He also collaborates with such diverse artists as Jewel (an ongoing creative partnership that includes co-writing the RIAA Platinum-certified #1 hit, “You Were Meant For Me”) GRAMMY® Award-winning bluegrass phenom Billy Strings, GRAMMY® Award-winner Molly Tuttle, The Wood Brothers, and Andy Frasco, to name but a few.
Steve positively owns a crowd when he’s on stage. His shows are the stuff of legend. He can take an unsuspecting audience from laughter to tears and back again in the space of a single song. And he is a master of improvisational songwriting, working without a set list to be free to react instantly to the mood of a room.
Get ready for an evening of authentic music and heartfelt stories… you’re going to laugh, sing along, and leave uplifted!

Lewis & Royal
With tight harmonies, clever storytelling, and a knack for making audiences laugh, Alberta’s Lewis & Royal are a folk duo like no other. Steve Bell describes them as “Humour & Heart. Entertainment & Art.”
Since joining forces in 1993, these prairie boys have charmed their way across Western Canada performing intimate concerts in prairie churches and community halls to major folk festivals and even the Calgary Saddledome, with songs that celebrate the quirks and comforts of rural life. One moment they’ll have you tapping your toes, the next, wiping away tears of laughter. Their stage chemistry is undeniable, and no two shows are ever quite the same. Quick on their feet, Lewis & Royal love to riff off each other and the audience, turning even the most unexpected moments into comedic gold.
