Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival ~ Shaw Amphitheatre
Free live show: Soulful Indie-Folk from Canmore
Join us for a special evening with Ellen Braun, a captivating indie-folk artist from Canmore, Alberta, known for her poignant storytelling, rich melodies, and heartfelt stage presence. Ellen creates an atmosphere of connection and emotion that lingers long after the last note.
With performances on legendary stages like Nashville’s Bluebird Café, and opening sets for Canadian greats including Madison Violet and Joey Landreth, Ellen has steadily carved out a space in the national folk scene. As one half of the folk duo, Trundled, she released the acclaimed album High Water (produced by award-winning Daniel Ledwell) and her songs, including “Inchoate”, have earned praise and airplay on CBC, CKUA, and beyond.
More than just a musician, Ellen is also a playwright and community builder – leading workshops, performing at folk festivals, and inspiring audiences with humour, humility, and stories of love, resilience, and growth. Currently recording a new album with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen), Ellen’s star continues to rise.
Don’t miss this free opportunity to experience one of Canada’s most authentic voices live.
