Perfect for music lovers\, curious minds\, and anyone who craves connection through art\, Found Sounds transforms our bookstore into a warm\, one-of-a-kind listening space. \nMarch 28th\, 2026 we welcome Justine Vandergrift to the stage. \nWith a growing body of studio albums\, authentic writing\, rich\, evocative vocals\, smart collaborations and sure-footed production values\, Justine Vandergrift has evolved from craft to impressive artistry. Traces of Patsy Cline\, Patty Griffin\, Bonnie Raitt and other country influences inform her brand of rootsy Canadiana\, while national and European tours further establish her as a rising star in Alberta’s musical firmament. “Justine Vandergrift is an emerging artist with that most precious and rare gift – an original voice. It’s hard to capture such things in words but hearing is believing. “. -Stephen Fearing “Occasionally a new artist emerges that immediately demands respect and attention. Justine Vandergrift is one such artist. She will make a solid impact on anyone who has the privilege of hearing her songs.” -Bill Bourne “Every once in a while\, we’ll come across an artist who truly connects us to their spirit. Sometimes it happens in a large concert setting and sometimes\, as in my case\, it happens around a campfire. With only one song\, Justine displayed her ethereal voice and imaginative lyrics to connect with with those of us privileged to be there. It was my wish that someday people might share in what we felt that night. A true artist deserving of much wider recognition!” -Jay Amar “Justine’s debut album ‘Yes Alright Ok’ is full of brilliant songwriting\, great\, thoughtful lyrics and very convincing melodies.” 
–Peter Holmsedt (Hemifran Music\, Sweden.) ‘In an industry glutted with splash in the pan artists\, Justine Vandergrift stands out as a genuine talent who is in the music business for the long haul.’ -Rhea March\, Host & Producer of ‘Almost Famous’ on CKUA Radio Network and ‘It Takes A Village’ on CJSR Radio.

SUMMARY:Cara Luft in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are more details HERE \nLive on the Found Stage: February 19\, 2026 \nThere’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. \nOn 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. \nExpect 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. \nMore About Cara Luft \nJuno 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. \nTo 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. \nReviewers 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)
