J.PLANK — Live in the Community
Sunday, August 16th, 2026 | 3:00 PM
Jeff stands out because he’s the real deal — a hard-working touring artist with deep roots, serious musicianship, and that rare ability to make a room feel like it’s part of the show. There’s no shortcut in his story. His lap steel work isn’t “extra”; it’s a signature voice woven directly into the songs, shaping mood and movement with texture, soul, and intention. Every note feels earned.
His songwriting carries a lived-in honesty that doesn’t feel performative — it feels true. The kind of truth that only comes from years of miles, stages, late nights, and long drives between towns. He’s built his career the long way: earning stages, earning audiences, and earning respect — from Texas roots circuits to the wider touring world.
Now based on Vancouver Island, he’s still putting in the miles and delivering every night with the same commitment to craft and connection. He’s not a newcomer chasing attention — he’s a road-tested artist arriving in Calgary for the first time, bringing with him decades of experience, grit, warmth, and genuine musicianship.
This is an opportunity to experience an artist who has earned every stage he steps onto.
🍲 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.
This concert takes place in a warm, community-based listening-room setting where music is meant to be felt, not just heard. Whether you’re a longtime fan of roots music or discovering J.PLANK for the first time, this is an afternoon designed for connection — between artist, audience, and community.
