Performers >>>>
Sheldon Casavant
Children’s entertainment
10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4:15 p.m.
on the Community Stage
Imagine a mind-bending experience where borrowed
objects vanish and reappear, float through the air
and challenge your perceptions of reality. Laughter,
amazement and excitement: Sheldon Casavant’s
light-hearted show will leave you with memories that
will last a lifetime. Since discovering the art of magic
at a young age, Sheldon has become one of Canada’s
most highly sought-after magicians. His unique show is
contemporary, fun and highly interactive. Based in
Edmonton, Sheldon has entertained audiences across
Canada, the United States, Mexico, Panama and China, and has performed over
630 shows in Japan. Not your everyday magician, he has also authored a children’s book
that was shortlisted for an Alberta Children’s Literature Award, been listed on Avenue
Magazine’s top 40 under 40, and been nominated twice for Entertainer of the
Year by the Canadian Events Industry.
Red Moon Road
Folk-Rock
7 p.m. on the Beaverbrook Mainstage
Red Moon Road makes a much bigger sound than
one would expect from a trio. In an impressive
well-choreographed show they incorporate impeccable
three-part harmonies, a roots drum kit split entertainingly
between two band members, and an acoustic guitar
rigged to also be a bass. A moustached man plays
mandolin, lap steel, banjo and organ, and subtle
technological wizardry whirls as the unmistakable soulful voice of one of Canada’s
premiere songstresses floats above it all. Honed in house concerts and main stage
festival appearances alike, Red Moon Road is a tapestry of song, masterful storytelling
and spontaneous banter, woven seamlessly into something truly exceptional.

Boxcar Campfire
Country Blues with a Touch of Cabaret
8 p.m. on the Beaverbrook Mainstage
Boxcar Campfire was originally created by Cousin Harley
lead Paul Pigat as a way for him to “bring it down a bit”.
It has since taken on a life of its own, with a new recording
and a touring project that allows a more reflective and
insular shade of Pigat’s creativity to come into play. Those with sharp ears will hear
snatches of everything from Debussy to Jimmy Rogers blues inflections thrown into the mix,
but — as always — the sounds Pigat creates are all his own. This music gets you in the mood
to hit the open road.

Clinton Richardson
Pop Singer/Songwriter
9:15 p.m. on the Beaverbrook Mainstage
Clinton Richardson is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from Edmonton who replicates
the full sound of an entire band using looping technology. With a style that has been
compared to Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz and Shawn Mendes, Clinton has been playing
at events, concerts, markets, weddings and charities for the past seven years.

Madeline Merlo
Country Music
9:45 p.m. on the Beaverbrook Mainstage
Hailing from Maple Ridge, B.C., Madeline Merlo is an
award-winning artist, with four Top 15 singles under her belt,
who has opened for Keith Urban, Dean Brody and Paul Brandt.
After winning CCMA Rising Star in 2015 and BCCMA Female Artist
of the Year two years in a row, Madeline released a series
of successful singles including “Whatcha Wanna Do About It”,
“War Paint”, which was the #1 Most Added country song in
Canada in its debut week, and the soulful breakup ballad “Over & Over”. Her latest single,
“Motel Flamingo,” is a vibrant, upbeat track that flew up the charts and landed in the Top 10
on Canadian Country Radio. Also a talented actress, in 2017 Madeline played lead role
in the musical film Country Crush.
Madeline has always had eclectic taste, and in her music you’ll hear the influence
of classic country artists like Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, R&B greats Etta James
and Billie Holiday, and modern superstars such as Miranda Lambert. She is a champion
of local artisans with a passion for promoting new designers and a free-spirited style
that is as unique as her sound.
