Richard’s got a new record! Hear it here first!

Richard Inman
Friday August 14th
The WECC, 586 Ellice Ave
Doors 7pm Music 8pm

Road-weary, dusty and worn down from thousands of miles, hundreds of shows a year, from Canada to Denmark, Germany and back, Richard Inman is an authentic story telling troubadour. Playing for thousands at festivals or dozens in a smoke filled back road bar in rural Saskatchewan, Inman’s honesty has connected him to a devoted cult following and cemented his place as a Canadian songwriting giant.

THIS JUST IN: The Burning Hell are coming on tour with Carsie Blanton! Check them out at The WECC!

Carsie Blanton w/ The Burning Hell
Sunday Sept 13th
West End Cultural Centre, 586 Ellice Ave
Doors 7pm Music 8pm

The Burning Hell is the ongoing musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalist Ariel Sharratt, often including additional comrades and collaborators. Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks. They move with heavy rhyme and a light step, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, ever surprising, and even occasionally beautiful world. Which is to say they’re good dance partners and they want to dance with you.

Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. A radical folk artist in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, her infectious melodies and lyrical wit keep listeners rapt while she conjures spirits of vaudeville, campfire singalongs, and punk rock. Blanton and her road-tested band deploy humor, camaraderie, and considerable musical muscle to enroll each audience in a rare vision of hope and solidarity.

In addition to writing and performing music, Carsie works as a political organizer and activist. In fall of 2025, she participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla, a direct action to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza by sailboat. In early October, after a month at sea, she was imprisoned in Israel for five days along with hundreds of her comrades.

This was almost like a VIP moment for attendees. Thank you to for organizing such a wonderful festival. Thank you to all attendees for your support.

Once again thank you to for the amazing photos! You just never miss!
