A fresh approach to live music, The Rocky Mountain Listening Room concert series pairs hand-selected spotlight & emerging songwriters with established and renowned artists for a night of mentorship, collaboration, and performance. We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all performers, audience and volunteers. For May 13th we will be accepting donations of cash or cheque at the door, plus cash payments for refreshments. General Information:
Our concert season normally runs from September to May. Our concerts take place at the Rosedale Community Association Hall, 901 11 Ave NW, Calgary. Each night begins with a set by either our house band, Horizon Ridge, or by another fine local band with a strong connection to the Rocky. Horizon Ridge members are Dianne Quinton on vocals, guitar, banjo and bass; Peter May on vocals, bass, guitar and harmonica; Steve Goodchild on vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro and mandocello, and Helen Goodchild on vocals, fiddle, keyboard and bass. All four are Rocky volunteers - Steve is also Artistic Director and Helen is Treasurer. Their sets are lively and fun - guaranteed to set the mood for a great evening! During the rest of the evening we normally present two sets featuring various combinations of touring performers and/or some more of the great local talent available in the Calgary area. We hope you will enjoy the performers we have selected.
