SUMMARY:Found Sounds Vol 4: Justine Vandergrift
DESCRIPTION:Tickets & More Details HERE  \nFound Books & Shop is partnering with Blue Willow Entertainment to bring you Found Sounds: a bi-monthly music series blending live performance with intimate conversation. \nThink Tiny Desk meets cozy listening room\, with a touch of podcast-style storytelling. Each event features a different musical artist who not only shares their songs but also the stories\, inspirations\, and creative process behind them. The result? An up-close\, personal evening where music and conversation flow together in a way that feels both raw and inspiring. 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)

SUMMARY:Concert: Found Sounds w/ Jessie Dans
DESCRIPTION:Tickets & Details. Found Sounds: A Bi-Monthly Music Series Found Books & Shop is partnering with Blue Willow Entertainment to bring you Found Sounds: a bi-monthly music series blending live performance with intimate conversation. Think Tiny Desk meets cozy listening room\, with a touch of podcast-style storytelling. \nBuy Tickets HERE \n  \nJessie Dans is a Canadian singer-songwriter based in Calgary\, Alberta. She began sharing her music publicly in January 2024 with the release of her debut single\, “Weight I Bare\,” introducing a raw and emotional sound rooted in vulnerability and personal experience. \nWhat started as a personal outlet has grown into a powerful artistic voice. Jessie creates music to connect—with herself and others—through honest storytelling and expressive lyricism. She collaborates closely with Los Angeles-based producer Connie Ryan of Loft 4 Studios\, and spends countless hours in the studio with Calgary producer Made On Mars\, shaping the sound of her upcoming EP\, “Tom Ford.” A full-length album is also in the works\, scheduled for release in early 2026. \nWith over 5\,000 monthly listeners on Spotify\, Jessie is quickly gaining momentum in the Canadian music scene. Her music draws from moments of pain\, reflection\, and emotional complexity\, often blurring the line between poetry and melody. Constantly exploring new genres and sonic textures\, she continues to evolve as a dynamic voice in contemporary music. \nOpening with Miarlequin:\n \nMiarlequin is a casual interdimensional traveler who happens to be a whimsical music artist. Stuck between worlds\, she tries her best to be an inter dimensional troubadour. Crossing her fingers she does not end up in an alternate dimension where there is no life on earth. \nInspired by various artists amongst different dimensions\, including Mitski\, Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky\, Punc the singing Platypus and Steve. She vows to write her truth into music and thinks hard day and night to write lyrics she finds appropriate for expression. \nHer first memory of a favourite food is jello\, this event happened before any interdimensional traveling ever transpired. Short on words but never on melodies\, writing music became the preferred method of communication for Miarlequin.
