It's been a while since Edmonton's Chloe Abert hit the road. Look forward to seeing her in Calgary, Red Deer, Whitecourt and Lacombe over the next few weeks.

Lethbridge-based folk/roots singer John Wort Hannam plays his first show ever in Rocky Mountain House — plus he's putting together benefit shows for ALS in Calgary and Fort Macleod — the 3rd annual Songs for Ken — in honour of his best friend who died of the disease.

Jazz chanteuse Ellen Doty is touring to some of Alberta's smaller centres — that is, after she makes her debut on the big stage of Calgary's Jack Singer Hall for JazzYYC's Illumin8 series. Look for her in Spruce Grove, Cold Lake, Athabasca and Lethbridge.

If you're in Edmonton, mark Feb 23 on your calendars. That's when the Key of A is putting on a live show at The Needle. Look for more details soon, but for now, check out one of the bands on the bill, Nature Of.
