Events › Sounds from the Valley: Music and Poetry

Due to current weather and air quality conditions tonight's event is CANCELLED. 

Artists scheduled from tonight's event will be rescheduled for a future date. 

Head down to Edmonton's Snow Valley Ski Club to take in FREE concert with music, poetry and art! Listen to artists from EPL's Capital City Records and Capital City Press as they share their work at the bottom of the ski hill in the beautiful Rainbow Valley and take in the visual art from Capital City Art. Free of charge, we'll be collecting non-perishable food items for the Edmonton Food Bank.

Food & Beverage options at Creekside Eats are available during the concert.

NOTE: Due to the very high popularity of the event this year, we suggest those who are able to bring their own lawn chairs to do so to ensure ample seating for everyone. If you don’t have a lawn chair, that is totally okay – we can absolutely make it work!

Music from Capital City Records Artist, Travis Dolter

Travis Dolter grew up on the family farm just 45 minutes south of Edmonton and was introduced to music from a young age. He began singing with his Ukrainian family band at age 6 and quickly fell in love with music. Writing songs since 17, Travis has released 14 songs, with every original having a story to share, inspired by real life experiences. With brand new unreleased songs set to be recorded, he looks forward to debuting a couple!
