Corin Raymond Sunday 20th 2026

Corin Raymond —Live in the Community

Sunday, September 20th, 2026 | 3:00 PM
Food Bank Booster Concert. Glendale Community Centre

Calgary House Concerts is proud to present the first visit of JUNO Nominee Corin Raymond or a special afternoon performance as part of our Live in the Community series.

We are gathering at the Glendale & Glendale Meadows Community Association on Sunday, September 20, 2026, for an afternoon of songs, stories, humour, heart and community.         Doors open at 2:30 PM, with the show beginning at 3:00 PM.

Corin is a Canadian singer-songwriter and storyteller whose music is filled with characters, places, conversations and those small moments of everyday life that somehow turn into great stories. He has a remarkable ability to find something meaningful in the ordinary — and then turn it into a song you remember long after the evening is over. His performances aren’t simply a collection of songs played one after another. The stories between the songs are part of the experience. Corin is funny, thoughtful and wonderfully comfortable with an audience, creating the kind of connection that can only happen when live music is experienced up close.

His album Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams received a JUNO Award nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, while his songwriting has travelled well beyond his own recordings. Songs written by Corin have been recorded by artists including The Good Lovelies, The Strumbellas, Dustin Bentall, and The Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer.

The Canadian Tire Money Story

And then there is the Canadian Tire money.

It’s difficult to tell the story of Corin Raymond without mentioning one of the most unusual chapters in Canadian independent music. After Corin discovered that a Toronto recording studio would accept Canadian Tire money toward recording costs, he mentioned it during his shows. People started giving him their Canadian Tire bills. Then more arrived. And more. Fans mailed them from across Canada. People brought envelopes to concerts. Collections that had been sitting in drawers and glove compartments suddenly found a purpose. What began as a funny story became something much larger — a grassroots demonstration of people getting behind an independent Canadian artist. The story became connected with Corin’s ambitious Paper Nickels project and remains a wonderful example of the unusual relationship he has developed with his audiences. It’s funny, unmistakably Canadian and somehow perfectly suited to Corin Raymond.

Come with a friend. Bring your family. Bring a neighbour. Or come on your own meet new ones.

This is more than a concert — it’s a chance to reconnect with friends of the series, welcome new listeners, and experience live music the way it was meant to be shared: in real time, in the room, together. We hope you can join us — and thank you for supporting Live Music in the Community.

🍲 Food Bank Booster

This concert continues the Calgary House Concerts Food Bank Booster series. Guests are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation in support of local community food programs, with a portion benefiting the Veterans Association Food Bank. Through these gatherings, music becomes more than performance — it becomes a way to strengthen neighbourhood connection and support food security together.

Supporting Artists & Giving Back

This is a Pay What You Can community concert. We gratefully accept donations on behalf of both our Host Community Food Program and the Veterans Association Food Bank.

There are three easy ways to support Live Music in the Community:

• $25 cash at the door (suggested artist cover)
• $25 by e-transfer to calgaryhouseconcerts@gmail.com
• Pay What You Can and bring a food bank donation
Every contribution helps ensure artists are paid fairly while also supporting neighbours in need.

We can’t wait to share this special afternoon with you. Bring a friend, a neighbour, or someone who loves great music — there’s always room for one more in our community
