Cara Luft in Concert
2026-02-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Found Book Shop, 206 1st Street W, Cochrane, AB
Tickets are more details HERE
Live on the Found Stage: February 19, 2026
There’s something special about music at Found (if we don’t say so ourselves). This comes from the way the room gathers around a voice, how the lights soften, how neighbours and strangers end up sharing a table and a moment. Our stage was built for nights exactly like this: intimate, close-up, and filled with that electric hush you only get when live music feels personal.
On February 19, we welcome Cara Luft to the Found Stage. You may know her as a Juno Award–winning musician, a founding member of The Wailin’ Jennys, or simply as one of the most joy-filled performers in Canadian folk music. But what we’re most excited for is how her storytelling, laughter, and gorgeous songwriting will land in this room – a space made for connection, warmth, and being fully present.
Expect a cozy winter night of music, wine, and community – the kind of evening that reminds you why live music matters and why this little stage in Cochrane, Alberta has become such a beloved spot.
More About Cara Luft
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 The Small Glories, Luft deserves her solid reputation as one of Canada’s finest live performers, armed with amazing tenacity, vision, energy and a contagious hilarity.
To quote the roots magazine No Depression, “Luft has a rich tradition in folk music – it’s safe to assume that she knows her stuff – and upon listening it becomes quite clear that she is indeed a formidable songwriter and performer… [The] lovely Ms. Luft sets the bar for the talented few who’ll follow in her footsteps.” 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’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)

From Browsing to Belonging - Your First-Time Home Buyer Panel
2026-02-23 19:00 - 20:00 | Half Hitch Brewery
From Browsing to Belonging is a first-time home buyer panel designed for people who are curious, cautious, or quietly wondering if homeownership might be closer than they think.
If you’ve been browsing listings, saving homes, and asking “what does this actually involve?”, this conversation is for you. Our panel of local experts — including a Realtor, mortgage lenders, real estate lawyer, home inspector, and financial planner — will walk through the real steps of buying your first home, answer common questions, and help take the mystery (and stress) out of the process.
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just real talk, clear information, and space to ask the questions you’ve been holding back.
Whether buying is months away or still feels like a “someday” idea, this panel is about moving from browsing to belonging — at your own pace.
Free tickets!! Register for your free tickets on Eventbrite!!
