Foothills Bluegrass Music Society Presents: The Lonesome Ace Stringband live at Festival Hall (1215 10 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0W6). Join us Friday, October 24, 2025, doors at 7:00PM, show at 7:30PM.Please note that this show will be at Festival Hall, not the Irish Cultural Centre.
The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit, skill and abandon to a music that lurks on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. Their original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely.
Consisting simply of fiddle (John Showman), clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole), bass (Max Malone), and voice, the band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it could come from a trio to a sparse fragility that draws the listener closer.
