Nose Creek Concerts presents JED AND THE VALENTINE

Edmonton's indie-folk duo, JED AND THE VALENTINE perform Sun, Sept 27, 2PM @ Winston Heights-Mountview Community Centre (Calgary). Jonah Morris and Maria Khaner are known for their warm, soulful harmonies and prairie folk sound, mixing indie-folk, roots and bluegrass with bright pop elements. JED AND THE VALENTINE have risen to become one of Canada's most exciting new acts. We are privaleged to have this special intimate performance. In keeping with our house concert vibe, join us at 1:30PM for some bites, coffee and tea which is included in your ticket price. Cash bar as well. A pair of dreamers - wistful, elated – [they] pluck melodies floating along summer streams and winter mists, twining them around lyrical bouquets. JED AND THE VALENTINE’s Jonah Morris and Maria Khaner dated for two years before taking their relationship to the next level, which was embracing vulnerability by writing and performing songs together. At first, they did informal gigs, but family members urged them to share their talents more widely. Within months, they released 2024’s Awake! and were championed on the festival circuit. While their journey was quick, the songs seem slow-roasted, sporting layered depth, leaning on richly melodic riffs and fully dressed moments that belie their recent emergence. It’s all open to the imagination – a sail around the British Isles to eavesdrop near Sandy Denny’s open window, a little bluegrass grazing down south, a handbag of pop moments, some urgent, some lazing along backroads, all of it simply enchanting. No wonder 2025’s In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb debuted in the Top Ten on CKUA. JED AND THE VALENTINE create charming, addictive music you want more of, and you want it now. - Mary-Lynn Wardle
