Local singer-songwriters Brett Cassidy and Jaiden Riley hit the legendary King Eddy stage on January 23 for a collaborative night of folk and country.
About Brett Cassidy:
Brett Cassidy is a Calgary, AB-based multi-instrumentalist that has spent the past decade honing his songcraft as part of a bevy of bands, playing folk, country, indie, and rock music across Canada. Now, for the first time, he has stepped out from the comfort of the background with guitar, and sometimes banjo in tow, to play solo songs that combine his favourite bits of all those genres. Drawing as much inspiration from traditional American folk and country music as he does from psychedelic drones, Cassidy’s songs create a space for those forgotten in time to stomp their feet alongside a suitcase kick drum. You can often catch him weaving heartbroken cowboy songs of yesteryear from the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Marty Robbins, and Hank Williams into his set.
About Jaiden Riley:
Jaiden Riley is a Métis singer/songwriter who effortlessly blends country, indie folk, and subtle bluegrass influences into her unique musical style. Jaiden is a powerhouse debut artist to the live music scene in Calgary and area; drawing inspiration from classic western and soul musicians to contemporary folk-focused alternative artists, her warm and rich sound pairs with a playful yet heartfelt stage presence to captivate her audience. Jaiden does not shy away from writing from a place of vulnerability, often sharing stories of love, loss, and triumph. Jaiden’s music reflects her love for honesty, authenticity, and meaningful connections through storytelling.
