From 10am-noon⁠
Melodyalala, a singer-songwriter with roots in Yellowknife, NWT, now finds her home in Calgary, AB, where she effortlessly blends the narrative depth of folk/country with the accessible appeal of contemporary pop. With a voice that carries a depth of emotion and a comforting presence, Melodyalala brings to life stories of love, life, and everything in between, drawing comparisons to iconic artists like Joan Baez, Carole King, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon and Karen Carpenter.⁠
⁠
From noon-2pm⁠
Café Rosé is the eagerly awaited passion project of Calgary songwriter/guitarist/actor Ben Rose and all the beautiful musicians and songwriters around the world he has the privilege of collaborating with. The Café is a garden where original songs grow and old songs get replanted. When forced to name a genre we also say “Country, Soul, Rock & Roll”, but there are few genres from which we don’t borrow something. “Whatever the song wants” is Ben’s motto.⁠
⁠
So head down to cSPACE this Saturday to stock up on Farmers & Makers Market goodies, support our local artists along Artist Alley, pop inside to check out our tenant offerings and exhibitions, and take in some live tunes sponsored by Sarina Builds!⁠

From 10am-noon : Tim Gareau ⁠
A Storyteller at heart, Calgary hometown singer-songwriter Tim Gareau cares deeply for his audience and is compelled to share his musical gifting wherever and whenever he is able. His songs take you on a journey of discovery, and his message is clear and infectious: “despite the crazy times we live in, if we seek it in our hearts, life is good, there is always hope and there is always opportunity for joy, peace, and love”. Tim’s music is all about authentic connection, creating something joyful, and drawing his audience into the fold. ⁠
⁠
From noon-2pm : CAS ⁠
CAS is a genre-blending musician whose sound fuses the raw edge of grunge, the introspection of alternative, the catchiness of pop, and a touch of the otherworldly. Known for delivering performances charged with intense emotion and unfiltered expression, CAS transforms every stage into a space of vulnerability and power. With powerful vocals and the unique ability to channel deep feeling through both voice and presence, she invites listeners into a sonic world that’s as haunting as it is unforgettable.⁠
