# Event Details - **Event Name**: Dave McCann - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: Over nearly two decades, Dave McCann has firmly established himself in the hearts and minds of the Alberta music scene as one of the best untold singer-songwriters working in contemporary roots music. His dedication to storytelling and song-craft continues to define his remarkable journey. His latest release, “Soothsayer’s Blues” was Recorded at the Zebra Ranch in Coldwater Mississippi. It’s the homestead studio of the late great Muscle Shoals session legend and Producer Jim Dickinson (Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, Aretha Franklin, The Replacements). Soothsayer’s Blues marks Dave’s seventh release and a collaboration with Oxford, Mississippi producer Jimbo Mathus. Jimbo‘s been a sonic ringmaster and collaborator with an impressive list of artists. (Elvis Costello, Bette Smith, Ironing Board Sam, Andrew Bird, Valerie June and Dom Flemons). His understanding of the Hill Country Blues of North Mississippi caught the attention of none other than Buddy Guy’s producer, landing him a key role touring and on the acclaimed “Sweet Tea” Sessions. He is best known for his work with his swing revival outfit The Squirrel Nut Zippers. Soothsayer’s Blues is a communion with history, a connection with place, and an exploration of the mythology of the American South. Those first Blues artists are foundational to the origin of North American Roots Music. Those artists offered more than just songs. They showed us a path. They showed us how to find joy in defiance of those who choose to darken our world. Expression in Resistance. “Mississippi holds some real strong magic when it comes to that kinda song-lore. I went there chasing those ghosts. What I found was a spark. That’s the folk process…You don’t just play the songs, you carry them forward.” The project is a stark, soulful meditation on the folk process. The songs are grounded in a timeless magic, steeped in the shadows of the human spirit and wrapped in echoes of the Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll. A humble reminder of the power of songs and their enduring ability to reflect, reveal, and heal. While the industry chases financial probability, Dave McCann remains a striking outlier. In a world wired for certainty, he’s still betting on the beautiful chaos of the creative process. Because for him, it’s always been simple: Songs Matter. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/leduc/dave-mccann/200030370845604 - **Event Categories**: music, art, health-wellness, entertainment, meditation, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 30 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Leduc - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts - **lat**: 53.256512992231 - **long**: -113.54995062454 - **full address**: Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts, 4308 50 street,Leduc, Alberta, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Dave McCann - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/45be3b0628a1476cbd5e39eece8b1a6297bc708474accf1f69b6638930d31b51-rimg-w1200-h628-dc584868-gmir?v=1786297199 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Dave McCann being held? - **A:** Dave McCann takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts, 4308 50 street,Leduc, Alberta, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Dave McCann? - **A:** Dave McCann is organized by Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts a rating of 4.6/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
