Kicking off Salamander Summer Music Festival 2026 is singer/songwriter Jan Ek!! Currently based in Alexander, Manitoba, is an entertaining artist with a vast and varied repertoire with nearly six decades of musical experience.

From his first punk band in 1980 to his Juno nominated hard rock band Big House in the early 1990s he gained much national and international recognition.

Shifting musical landscapes and unique personal challenges saw him busking in Montreal subway stations where he began to include interpretations of an incredibly wide body of work as a solo acoustic performer.

From reggae influenced takes on pop hits to high spirited romps and gentle balladry through indie rock, folk and country, Jan brings an emotional abandon tempered by a mature control of voice. This audio rollercoaster takes listeners on a journey through time and genre, both sentimental and forward projecting, and is as fun as it is reflective and thought provoking.

🚨 IMPORTANT WARNING FROM THE SALAMANDER PLANNING COMMITTEE 🚨

Ugh. Here's a post we definitely didn’t have on our bingo cards and really didn’t want to have to make... 😞

Please be aware that someone has put a lot of effort into creating VERY convincing fake emails and forms pretending to be our vendor coordinators. They are using an email address very similar to ours and sending links to a JotForm asking for vendor information and money. 💻⚠️

🚫 PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS 🚫

If you’re unsure whether something is legitimate, please contact us directly at:

📧 [email protected]

This is our primary email and is monitored by a real member of our committee.

❌ If you receive one of these fake emails:
• Do NOT reply
• Do NOT click any links
• Delete the email
• Report it as spam

We have already notified the police 👮 and reported the issue to JotForm.

🌐 Our ONLY website is: salamanderfest.ca

Please make sure you only use email addresses or links connected to that website when:
🎟️ Buying tickets
🛍️ Registering as a vendor

Also, we will NEVER ask you for money without a legitimate vendor agreement.

We’re so sorry this is happening and hope to get everything taken down/resolved ASAP. Thank you all for understanding and for continuing to be so awesome 💚🦎
