📣TONIGHT!📣 Emmanuel Concerts Presents: Kaeley Jade 🎵
🟢Saturday, May 2, 2026

🎭 The Hearth Room

Alternative-folk singer/songwriter Kaeley Jade crafts full-hearted songs that dig deep. Growing up on the outskirts of North America’s most northern metropolis, the Edmonton-based Métis artist has been sculpted by icy winter winds, warm summer breezes, and sweeping prairie skies. Whether through gently textured acoustic ballads or rip-roaring full-band cuts, Kaeley’s powerful voice and vivid imagery capture the depths of life’s most challenging moments with sincerity and precision.

Kaeley Jade’s forthcoming album, The Great Unknown, finds her exploring an earthier sound, where expansive percussion mingles with soaring guitars to create the electric charge of an impending storm. At its core is Kaeley’s heartfelt vocal delivery, both commanding and vulnerable, and reminiscent of artists like Serena Ryder or Kacey Musgraves. Produced by JUNO Award-winner Hill Kourkoutis, The Great Unknown is a cinematic plunge into the dread, conflict, and uncertainty that arises when we reach a turning point. There is a catharsis in letting go of that which no longer serves us, and The Great Unknown invites listeners to embrace the unpredictability of life, confront the moments that challenge us, and celebrate the beauty found within the ever-shifting tides of experience.

Kaeley Jade’s vibrant debut album, Turpentine, introduced her to the Canadian music scene as an artist to watch. Earning a Canadian Folk Music Award, a Henry Armstrong Award, and a Western Canadian Music Award nomination, Turpentine received international press, charted across Canadian radio (including two on the Indigenous Music Countdown), and was featured in film and television productions like Hockey Night in Canada (Sportsnet), Warrior Up! (APTN) and Teen Mom: The Next Chapter (MTV).
