Calgary needs more live shows like this one. Get tickets, show up at the Jack Singer and grab a Grasshopper or a Trad. A great night for sure. Seriously, if you live in Calgary get out there and do something new and exciting. Go to ticketmaster.ca and buy tickets when you are done reading this update. (You will probably want to thank us for giving you the head's up.)

Also, we think the event is three times as fun because Noel Johnson* (Untapped Volume 2) and Lindsay Ell (Untapped Vol. 1) will also be in the house that night.

(*We should tell you that we like Noel a lot. He has a lot of talent - we know this because we work with him at the brewery. When he's not delivering your beer, he's delivering the musical goods. What a guy.)

Here's the skinny:
