After a month-long residency at Toronto’s Cameron House in July, acclaimed singersong­writer, Jadea Kelly, is thrilled to be coming back home to Canada this fall for a run of tour dates across the western provinces next month! Kicking off on October 15 in Winnipeg, the co-headline tour with award-winning musician, Ken Yates, will see the pair hit stages in Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Medicine Hat, and Edmonton, before wrapping in Calgary on October 22. See below for full details and find tickets here.

“I’m looking forward to finally re visiting Western Canada alongside Ken Yates, after a long pandemic pause,” says Jadea. “Some of my favourite touring memories occurred in AB, SK and MB. Some of my favourite songwriter­s live here as well. It’s time to reunite and rock!”

Described by CBC as “one of the shining jewels in the crown of Canadian songwriter­s” (Tom Power, CBC) Jadea Kelly spends her time writing and living between rural Ontario Canada and Los Angeles CA. She has co-written and toured (as opener and backing vocalist) with the likes of Justin Rutledge, Whitehorse, Judy Collins, Catherine MacLellan, Royal Wood, Kelly Prescott, Sweet Alibi, Peter Katz, The Digging Roots, Leela Gilday and Joey Landreth. She has also performed and showcased her music across Canada, The United States and Europe, performing at the likes of Americana Fest (Nashville TN), Winnipeg Folk Festival, Calgary Folk Festival, Edmonton’s Interstell­ar Rodeo, Metal Toronto and Peterborou­gh Folk Festival. Despite her Americana influence, she is also the featured vocalist with JUNO award winning metal group Protest the Hero (Kezia, Scurrilous and Volition).

Jadea’s fourth studio album, Roses, was released in March 2022 and has been warmly embraced by fans, with over two million streams across all platforms. The record made its way on to the cover of Spotify’s Renegade Folk playlist, and the heartwarmi­ng single, Any Old Boat, has seen over one million streams to-date.
