Cara Luft with Special Guests Todd & Robyn

Juno award winning singer-songwriter-musician Cara Luft is that rare artist steeped in folk and traditional roots music almost from birth, yet willing to alter the fabric, stretch the boundaries and fearlessly bend genres and styles. A founding member of Canadian folk super-group The Wailin' Jennys and the brainchild behind Winnipeg's acclaimed powerhouse duo with J.D Edwards, The Small Glories (who graced our Stage back in 2016) Luft deserves her solid reputation as one of Canada’s finest live performers, armed with amazing tenacity, vision, energy and a contagious hilarity.

Cara has a spirit that drives her to connect with people, and for this she is loved everywhere she goes. Reviewers of her live shows talk about her compelling vocals, superb musicianship, humorous anecdotes, accomplished songwriting, ability to switch between styles and the charm of her stage presence. Cara will be playing with her fave fellas, Clayton Parsons & Rob McLaren. She's the real deal, there’s nothing pretentious about her, and that sense of honesty, integrity, personality and spontaneity permeates both her music and her live shows. “Long may she reign!” (Lonesome Highway).

Opening this show are Todd & Robyn, a husband-and-wife folk-Americana duo from Bracebridge, Ontario who played for our audience in our 2026 Intimate Acoustics Lineup. Known for harmonies that hit you right in the chest, guitar, harmonica & tambourine, and all the warmth of hanging out in their living room. They are currently recording their debut album, set to release early 2027.
