The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek is excited to present John Wort Hannam and Friends, a free evening of live music on the Lebel Mansion grounds!
Folks of all ages are invited to join us on Friday, July 31st starting at 6:00pm as we celebrate the music of the 2026 Alberta Artist in Residence, John Wort Hannam, while also showcasing some great familiar local faces- stay tuned as we share these special guests over the next few weeks.
Juno nominated musican John Wort Hannam has been on a roots-fueled troubadour journey for over two decades, spinning songwriting gold from the chaff of the lives he encounters and those within his fertile imagination. After twenty plus years, he shows no sign of slowing down, winning the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Award for both Solo Artist and Contemporary Album of the Year. Audiences and critics alike hear something special in his narrative, lyrically driven songs.
We can't wait to share an evening of live music outdoors here at the Lebel once again after a two year hiatus!
Please note, for safety during the concert the road in front of the Lebel Mansion on Kettles street will be closed! Some parking is available in the back lot off of Schofield Street, as well as street parking in the surrounding areas! Please be respectful of neighbouring driveways

Hailing from the Canadian prairies, Mallory Chipman is a true musical polymath. An award-winning musician as well as a songwriter, producer, and music scholar, Chipman is celebrated for her acrobatic voice and the way she powerfully weaves truth and story into song. With influences from across genres, Mallory Chipman's signature sound has been described as "the finest folk-rock currently being made" (Amplify Magazine).
Her latest album, Songs to a Wild God, hit #1 on CKUA, #5 on the Folk Alliance International Charts, and has been featured on NPR and SiriusXM Radio. Over the course of her five album career, Chipman has toured extensively and internationally, opening for artists including Jann Arden and Madeleine Peyroux.
While reflecting contemporary themes, the quality of Chipman’s craft “places her amidst the longer tradition of the great singer-songwriters” (Americana UK) and has been described as "a masterclass in innovation and creativity" (Certified Bop), establishing her as an instant classic in the Canadian folk music scene.
Mallory Chipman is currently nominated for Solo Artist of the Year at the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Bennett Mitchell
From the Coca Cola stage at Calgary Stampede to the Lebel Mansion on July 31st, we are excited to share that Bennett Mitchell will be joining us for this free summer event!
Bennett Mitchell’s music captures the rugged simplicity of western life, only to spiral it into psychedelic realms of soaring guitars and hypnotic rhythms.
A voice croons from the golden haze of the Porcupine Hills into a velvet-draped dream. Like a jam session where The Talking Heads meet outlaw cowboys on acid, they conjure a sound that bridges the grit of the earth with the mysteries of existence.
Bennett Mitchell is a songwriter and producer born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, exploring love, life, confusion and an endless catalogue of musical styles. His sound draws from folk roots that nod to a pastoral wistfulness of Country music's past and sets us dancing to the tender parts of life.

Live Music at The Lebel
The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek(AAC) strives to host concerts and events that appeal to a wide audience, are diverse, thought provoking and will increase access to musical experiences in our community. Our year-round event schedule is growing with the goal of showcasing emerging and established musicians and performers from across the country. Our programming schedule is developed year round as our staff diligently and happily immerse themselves in the music scene across the province and country.
Interested in Performing?
We are always excited to discover and enjoy new music and encourage artists to submit a complete EPK to our Executive Director, Kassandra Chancey
We will review all submissions, and are currently considering artists for our soon to be updated indoor space between December 2024 and June 2025. If you are a touring musician working on a specific schedule, please include the dates you will be in the area in the subject line of your email.
The AAC does not typically book cover or tribute acts. This does not mean your act cannot include covers/arrangements during your set, however we are looking for bands and performers with a repertoire of original music.
In an effort to avoid competition with other local live music providers and grow the local music scene the AAC typically requests that Artists do not book shows in the Town or MD of Pincher Creek (Beaver Mines, Lundbreck, Twin Butte) 30 days prior to and post agreed upon show dates unless otherwise agreed upon.
Our marketing and outreach relies heavily on online interactions. Please be sure to include links to your web presence and social media in your submission email.
