ALBERTA-IN-THE-ROUND
CONCERT: March 13, 2026
Jenny Allen
Troy Kokol
Von Bieker
Due to last minute travel weather issues Poor Nameless Boy unfortuately had to cancel for this date. We have worked all afternoon to bring you a fabulous All-Alberta-Songwriter Lineup.
All these artists performed as part of the Alberta Room at the International Folk Alliance in Montreal last year!
- Troy Kokol: folk mixed with country/roots with a sprinkle of pop
- Jenny Allen: Dynamic folk rock, with a twist of rootsy blues
- Von Bieker: Indie-folk with a modern, soulful fee.
Songwriters In-the-Round
The evening will open with an In-the-Round with emerging spotlight artists Joy Robinson and Kaylei McIvor (hosted by Craig McIvor)
Joy Robinson
Newfoundland-born and Alberta-based singer-songwriter, Joy Robinson, has a passion for creating spaces in which audiences can relax with safety to feel, question, and ponder the messy and spectacular parts of life (and maybe have a laugh or two as well).
Her debut 11 track LP entitled “A Little at a Time”, released in 2024, is a pop-infused folk record with sprinkles of traditional Newfoundland instrumentations and contemporary musical theatre influences.
She is drawn to lyrics that explore the spiritual and emotional nature of our human existence as well as the quirky and ordinary things that make life beautifully messy
Kaylei McIvor
Kaylei McIvor, a local Calgary-based songwriter who combines storytelling with unconventional chord progressions.
“I enjoy creating music with vivid imagery to pull my audience into the worlds I build with my songs”.
Kaylei writes stories that reflect their experiences growing up, being a queer person, and way of processing the world.
