OPENER: ETHAN ASKEY AND keith larsen

JUNO Award-winning blues powerhouse Steve Marriner brings his soulful voice, masterful musicianship and electrifying live energy to the stage. Steve Marriner is one of Canada’s most accomplished and versatile roots musicians—a powerhouse performer equally at home on vocals, harmonica, guitar, bass and keyboards.

Best known as a founding member and frontman of the JUNO Award-winning band MonkeyJunk, Marriner has built an extraordinary career as a solo artist, songwriter, producer and sought-after collaborator. His music moves effortlessly through blues, soul, roots and rock ’n’ roll, driven by a commanding voice, exceptional musicianship and an instinct for deep, irresistible grooves.

Marriner’s solo album Hope Dies Last earned a 2022 JUNO Award nomination and showcased the full range of an artist who can deliver both hard-driving blues and quietly powerful songwriting. Whether performing a raw harmonica solo or leading a full-throttle rock groove, he brings intensity and soul to every note.

The front half of Ethan Askey & The Elevators, Keith and Ethan have been songwriting and performing together in western Canada since 2023. Their new album Outside the Lines, mixed by Steve Marriner, earned a Top 10 Blues Albums in Canada radio chart position (Big Blues Chart July 2026) upon release. With harmonicas, guitars, and two big voices they sing of struggle, joy, and whistling past the graveyard.
