Suggested donation $20 (price flexible, all proceeds to the artists)

If you wish, bring a drink for yourself, and/or a snack to share, but we’ve always got plenty of all of those on hand!

All are welcome (bring the kids, friends, family, people off the street, whatever)! Our house is family friendly (we’ve got 3 kids and plenty of room, so feel free to bring the family), easy-going, friendly, and open to all! If you don’t know us yet, come on down and make some new friends!

The Sunset Saloon is a house concert venue in Westwood (near the YMCA on Portage.) We’re open to all. Feel free to pass along the event info, bring friends, bring your kids (our kids will thank you), or just come by yourself and make some new friends! Admission is by donation, which goes directly to the artists. Most folks pay $20, but any hard-working performer wouldn’t turn down more and will take whatever amount is comfortable for you to give.

Please RSVP for the address and more information!

The current record holders for most appearances at The Sunset Saloon, Brock Zeman and Christina Martin both roll in for their SIXTH visits back-to-back at The Sunset Saloon!

After appearing here for the first five years in a row, Christina took a much-needed break from the long drives across this vast country and focused on a more rocked up sound with her band for a couple of albums and some high intensity shows. Now, she’s back with a new, stripped-back duo style album filled with some really cool covers and some great new originals, and it sounds amazing! You’ll be able to hear those new songs, pick up the new album, and hear some of our old favourites this November!

Christina & Dale are in the area for a while in October doing a Home Routes tour, so if you want to see them more than once (as I hope to,) check out her other dates here: https://www.christinamartin.net/tour-dates

Coincidentally, UMFM’s annual Pledge-O-Rama is happening at the same time as Christina’s Manitoba Home Routes Tour! If the stars align, we may just see her and Dale appear live in-studio on Sunday, October 20, and maybe even in the audience on October 27!

COMING SOON: Christina has been experimenting with online ticket sales for her shows, and we’re going to have that set up and ready to go for this show as well. If it seems like something that you might find useful, we may even add events for our other shows as well, so stay tuned for event and ticket info, coming soon!

Can you believe that it’s been 4 years since Brock & Blair played The Sunset Saloon?! Seems insane to me, but we’ve loaned them out to other venues a couple of times over the years. After a well deserved break from touring, Brock & Blair are back heading down the Trans Canada Highway and hitting all of their favourite spots along the way, including The Sunset Saloon!

They’ve already played here FIVE times (Blair has played here SIX times, including a show alongside Jim Bryson!) and they continue to be among our most demanded artists. They also happen to be high among our all-time favourites. The always prolific Zeman actually hasn’t put out a new album since the long-awaited Carnival album in 2017, but he’s ready with another one and has one more on the go! We’ll get to hear plenty of new material as well as many of our old favourites when they return back home to The Sunset Saloon on October 27!

We recommend & request getting on the guest list soon!

If you do wish to attend, your seat is not 100% confirmed until you either pay online OR sign up for a FREE RSVP “ticket.” Clicking “GOING” on Facebook means nothing to most people, so I never consider that a confirmation.

Benj Rowland & Josh Fewings make some mighty magical music together. They call it Fuzz-Folk, which is kind of a blend of rock, folk, some blues, some Celtic, and a whole lot of magic. They first appeared at The Sunset Saloon in 2015 and have been back every year since, and we hope they keep coming for the rest of their lives!

Together they’ve released an EP (Mayhemingways, 2014), and full length albums Hunter St. Blues (2016) and Skip Land (2018.) All are filled with some of the most original and entertaining, toe-tapping, get up and shake your booty or sit back and groove tunes you’ll ever hear.

Mayhemingways will also be appearing in Winnipeg on September 26 at Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club!
