Inspired by legends like Robert Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt, Adam strips music down to its essence, reimagining every song through his dynamic, percussive fingerpicking guitar style and warm, resonant voice. His artistry has been recognized worldwide, earning him the Memphis Cigar Box Guitar Award at the 2023 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
Over the course of six acclaimed albums, Adam has proven himself as both a gifted songwriter and a master interpreter. His latest release, Some Awkward Country Ahead, showcases 10 original songs including My Birmingham, Kelly’s Blues, and Black and Blue — tracks that balance heartfelt storytelling with intricate musicianship.

Calgary House Concerts is proud to present Ollee Owens, one of Alberta’s most powerful and soul-stirring voices. With a sound rooted in Americana, roots, and blues, Ollee blends the grit of classic rock with the intimacy of folk storytelling. Her commanding stage presence and heartfelt delivery draw listeners in from the very first note, and her songs weave themes of resilience, love, and the human spirit.
Often compared to legends like Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, and Melissa Etheridge, Ollee brings her own distinctive energy that leaves audiences inspired and uplifted.
Ollee’s performances are more than concerts — they’re shared experiences that remind us of the power of music to build connection and community. Whether belting out a powerhouse anthem or delivering a whisper-soft ballad, she has an unparalleled ability to bridge raw emotion with polished artistry.
As part of our Live in the Community series, this concert embodies what Calgary House Concerts is all about: world-class artistry in welcoming neighbourhood venues, offered on a Pay-What-You-Can basis so that everyone can access live music.
This event is also a Food Bank Booster Concert, inviting all guests to bring non-perishable food items in support of both local community food programs and the Veterans Association Food Bank. Together, we’ll share music, gather donations, and strengthen community ties.
Not just a concert. It’s a moment to connect with friends of the series—and a chance to share the realtime experience.
