The Western Thistles Album Release Show

Join Edmonton-based folk duo The Western Thistles for an intimate evening of storytelling, harmony, and timeless acoustic sound as they celebrate the release of their self-titled debut album.
Rooted in traditional folk, country, and old-time music, The Western Thistles blend rich vocal harmonies, rhythm guitar, and clawhammer banjo to create an authentic and evocative sound. Known for their heartfelt lyrics and organic live performances, the duo’s music reflects the working-class experience and the beauty of everyday life.
Kicking off the night is Orvald Wayne, an emerging country act from Edmonton. Steeped in Alberta’s landscapes and small-town spirit, their songs capture raw emotion, from foot-stomping anthems to soul-stirring ballads.
At this special album release show, you’ll hear The Western Thistles’ debut record performed front to back, accompanied by Don Marcotte on upright bass and Braden Gates on fiddle!
Doors: 7:00 pm
Music: 8:00 pm
Physical copies of The Western Thistles’ debut album will be available on CD and Vinyl
