Magnolia Buckskin with Charlie Ewing
The Lethbridge Folk Club invites you to join our event on November 15th, 2025, at the Army Navy Air Force Veterans Club as we continue our fall season with Magnolia Buckskin.
Featuring gorgeous and accordion. Magnolia Buckskin delivers a vibrant and humorous show with original arrangements that are refreshing and poignant.
As a band, they have worked with the Foothills Acoustic Music Institute (FAMI), overseeing harmony and vocal-improv workshops and teaching banjo, accordion and mandolin, have led workshops at Calgary’s Ukulele Festival, and taught at Wellspring Alberta, a charity that offers programming for people living with cancer.
“I kind of think of it as a pond,” says Sayer. “You put into the pond, you can’t just keep taking out of the pond. To be fresh you have to put back in and that keeps things fresh.
Fan favourite Charlie Ewing was born in Cutbank, Montana, in windswept Glacier County, just thirty miles south of the medicine line. When he was a long yearling, his parents moved to the Porcupine Hills of Alberta, about 130 miles to the north, and he has lived there pretty much the rest of his life, ranching and living the cowboy lifestyle that dominates his songwriting.
He spent his working life running the SN Ranch, a cow/calf operation near Claresholm where he still lives. Semi-retired now he finds more time for music activity and performs either solo or with a duo or in a bluegrass band. Hopefully there are a few more songs rattling around underneath his hat waiting to be born. It’s an arduous process like trying to rope the wind.
Doors open at 6:30 PM
