Calgary’s downtown scene has changed considerably since the beginning of the city’s rapid growth. It’s also recognized as one of Canada’s most diverse cities. Calgary is a modern cosmopolitan city that still retains much of its traditional culture of hotel saloons, western bars, night clubs, football and hockey.

Following the rapid changes in the 1990s, Calgary has become the center for country music in Canada. It is referred to by some as the “Nashville of the North.” Calgary is home to a thriving music scene of many genres, including metal, folk, pop, rock, punk, indie, blues, jazz, hip-hop, electronic and country.

Some artists continually reinvent themselves; others identify their muse early on and spend their careers single-mindedly pursuing it, remaining recognizably themselves through a career-long process of refinement, growth and discovery. Chris Smither belongs to the latter group. Leave the Light On, Smither’s masterful twelfth album—the first he’s released on his own Mighty Albert label—stands as the quintessence of his life’s work while throwing in some new wrinkles that reflect where he’s been and what he’s encountered since the last time around. But Smither’s central theme as he enters his 60s is clearer than ever. Tickets at fishcreekconcerts.com or by phone at 403.263.0079
