Down By The River

Down By The River It all begins.. Down By The River

This fall, join us in Edmonton's river valley at Louise McKinney Park — where music drifts through the trees, stories are shared by the water, and community gathers at the edge of something beautiful.

Albertan Métis singer-songwriter Jaiden Riley draws from folk, classic country, and bluegrass with influences ranging from Hank Williams and Patsy Cline to Dolly Parton.

Backed by The Crybabies, she’s been turning heads across Alberta and was recently crowned the 2025 winner of Ranchman’s Country 105 Rising Star.

Folk Bitch Trio plays Sunday, September 20 at Down by the River 🌾

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Folk Bitch Trio have built a devoted following on the strength of thoughtful songwriting, rich three-part harmonies, and years of singing together.

High school friends Heide Peverelle, Jeanie Pilkington, and Gracie Sinclair have toured across Australia, Europe, and the US. Their 2025 debut album Now Would Be A Good Time has earned international attention and helped cement them as one of the most exciting new acts in modern folk.

For 25 years, Edmonton’s The Uncas have brought their own brand of alt-country to stages across Alberta and beyond.

With a reputation for wild, memorable live shows and a nod from Corb Lund himself, they’ve built a loyal following along the way. This year, they’re back with new music and the same energy that’s made them a local favourite.

Catch The Uncas on Sunday, September 20 🌾

Edmonton’s Sam the Living, the project of singer-songwriter Dylan Greenhough, blends 70s folk with coming-of-age indie rock, rich harmonies, and an ethereal voice.

His single Everything Fades Away was recorded from sunset to sunrise inside a hundred-year-old church - a fitting setting for his warm and otherworldly sound.
