Bluegrass Music All Year Round - 2025 Events
Zachary Lucky - March 5th
Unapologetically old-school country and armed with a husky, baritone voice, Zachary Lucky is the grandson of Canadian country music pioneer Smilin’ Johnnie Lucky. Often compared to songwriters such as Gordon Lightfoot and Kris Kristofferson, Zachary sings of Canadian people and places. Hailed as a masterful storyteller by such outlets as No Depression and The Globe and Mail, he’s on his way to earning a spot among the pantheon of Canadian roots royalty. On tour to promote his new album The Wind, Zachary is looking forward to playing for a Bassment crowd.
Mike Plume - March 23rd
Since emerging during the rise of alt-country in the early 1990s, Mike Plume has logged countless miles touring across the globe. He has shared stages with artists like Steve Earle, Los Lobos, the Dixie Chicks, and the Mavericks. Along the way, he befriended legends such as Levon Helm and even sang at Stompin’ Tom Connors’ memorial. Known for his richly detailed storytelling and earthy, uncompromising voice, Mike remains one of Canada’s most accomplished singer-songwriters. He is currently touring in support of his 15th album, The Songharvester EP – Volume 1.
Under the Rocks - April 1st
Under the Rocks is one of Canada’s premier bluegrass bands, known for making a big sound. They tip their cap to tradition while blending in singer-songwriter influences. Their songs are crafted with clever arrangements, emotive instrumental breaks, and powerful vocal harmonies. The band features Jordan Klassen (guitar/vocals), Chloe Davidson (fiddle/vocals), Chris Baxter (banjo/mandolin/vocals), and Nils Loewen (bass). Their live shows are filled with dancing, laughter, and joyful hoots and hollers. There are also serene moments that bring tears or quiet sighs of appreciation. Under the Rocks is currently touring in support of their second studio album, Honest Try. Produced by long-time bluegrass favourite Andrew Collins, the album showcases top-tier lyricism, musicianship, and production.
Amanda Rheaume with Special Guest: JJ Lavalee - April 30th
Amanda Rheaume’s rootsy, guitar-driven ballads bring fresh dimensions to the world of heartland rock. In a genre known for anthems about underdogs, assumptions, and unfair advantages, her sound and story expand the boundaries—geographic and cultural alike. Rheaume creates space for new perspectives on resistance and resilience. A citizen of the Métis Nation and a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, her music truly comes from both the heart and the land. Over the past 15 years, she has released five full-length albums. Her 2013 release, Keep a Fire, was nominated for a JUNO Award and won a Canadian Folk Music Award for Indigenous Songwriter of the Year.
Saskatoon fiddler JJ Lavallee opens the show.
