Queen of the Strait

Festival Hall

Doors 7:00 pm; show 8:00 pm

Jenn Grant invites audiences into an unforgettable new world with Cradled by the Waves, a live tour that transforms her forthcoming album, Queen of the Strait, into a multimedia performance blending music, film, theatre, and dance. Grant’s most personal work to date, Queen of the Strait draws from her childhood in Prince Edward Island and the timeless pull of the Atlantic. The live experience reimagines those songs in motion - a moving meditation on grief, transformation, and the beauty of beginning again.

Each show is an immersive, cinematic experience featuring a live band, curated film sequences, and interpretive movement. Together, these elements create a dreamlike landscape where the songs flow seamlessly into one another.

Co-created with a celebrated team of collaborators including producers Daniel Ledwell and Joshua Van Tassel, Irish director Julie Kelleher, and cinematographer Daniel Grant, Cradled by the Waves invites audiences to reflect on love, loss, and the fragility of life through a communal and deeply emotional lens.

Step through the Portal and be part of a shared moment that blurs the line between audience and artist - a living, breathing work of art that changes with every performance.
