Posted @withregram • @cspace.market Join us on Saturday, September 14th for live music from some of Calgary’s best local talents at cSPACE Marda Loop’s next Market Day!

Market favourite Alice Jane returns for another wonderful set on our Sarina Homes outdoor Market Stage! Alice grew up performing in the cafes and pubs of the northern beaches of Sydney, Australia. She now calls Calgary home, raising kids and playing gigs in cafes, bars and outdoor festivals throughout southern Alberta. Her sound blends the smooth qualities of Eva Cassidy and Kina Granis with the raw originality of Patti Griffin and Joni Mitchell. 

Prairie Soul Revue is a ukulele and bass duo brimming with mid-century classics and vintage-tinged originals. With a knowing smile and a plucked string, The Prairie Soul Revue delivers intelligent escapism for the modern listener. Christine Burns and Jim Jackson, each artists in their own right, have teamed up to deliver their own brand of folk-pop full of clever laughs, wry asides, and poetic turns of phrase. 

So, why not come on down and fill your ear holes with some intoxicating sounds this upcoming Saturday!
