The Beating Hearts (led by David Kelmer) will be coming to perform Sun 3 Aug 2025 at 10909-106 St (behind unit 15, backyard of musician Stephen Stone)!
Try to arrive 15m early?
The Beating Hearts plays indie rock and draws inspiration from the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix and in its new trio form, often jazz as well. The group is led by David Kelmer, pehaps the most the most sincere, warm and wholehearted of people I have ever known. In this more recent trio version of his group, you’ll find Dave singing while playing cajon with bandmates Jonathan Bieniada on keys and sax, Wen Guo on bass.

This performance is intended to be enjoyed by the community and a way to get neighbors and friends out to say hi. In summer 2020 (Covid times), Stephen did 30 similar performances on people's lawns and driveways with his own band (with distance and precautions). He found these to be very appreciated within communities, both for the music and the opportunity for neighbours to say hi to each other. Many communities have continued traditions born in this time of neighbourhood concerts. In his new home (since Jan 2024) Stephen observed that his (open-shared townhouse) backyard might be an ideal place for such an event... and began having concerts in the backyard that summer.
This mini concert is entirely by donation. If you enjoy, consider that a coffee might cost $5, a performance from a band at a bar might cost $20... but give as you feel able, and your presence itself is a present. Stephen will personally be guaranteeing a minimum to Isye, Travis and all future musicians that perform in his backyard space.
-Parking is best on 106 St by Central McDougall Park.
-Refreshments, food will be offered, option of hanging out a bit post show.
