Wits End Wednesdays

We're SO excited!
The 2026 Backyard Season
Wednesday, June 24th: Brent Park w/Gilles Fournier
We kick off our 2026 Backyard season with perennial favourite Brent Parkin accompanied on the bass by the esteemed Gilles Fournier. Brent has been a seminal player on the Winnipeg scene since his days in Houndog in the 1970's and he's had the opportunity to tour with Blues legends.

Wednesday, July 22nd: Wallace Landreth
Wally last played Wits End in 2021 and we've wanted to have him back ever since. His music reflects his one-of-a-kind, unapologetic personality. Imbued with wit, sarcasm, satire, and sandpaper, his songs are observations of the topsy-turvy nature of everyday existence. Yeah, man.

Wednesday, July 29th: Scott Nolan
In our humble opinion, Scott is one of the finest poet-songwriters out there. His evocative, imaginative lyrics paired impeccably with their melodies take one's mind down paths of introspection and inspiration. Scott last played Wits End in 2023.

Wednesday, Aug 5th: Nicky Mehta & Lloyd Peterson
Nicky Mehta is known for her work with the Wailin' Jennys. Her brilliant songs are founded on her fierce advocacy for human rights and dignity. Lloyd Peterson is a musical multi-tool; recording engineer/producer at Paintbox Studio, songwriter, musician, and all around nice guy. Together Nicky and Lloyd bring a light that needs to be shone.

Wednesday, Aug 12th: Dominique Adams & Jacob Brodovsky
Dom & Jacob return for another blissful evening of music under the evening sky. These two have been making waves across Canada with new music both as solo artists and as a duo...and to think, they met playing a songwriter circle right in the Wits End living room back in 2023!

Wednesday, Sep 2nd: Romi Mayes Duo
Romi returns to Wits End for the first time since 2020 - where does time go?! There's grit and gravel in Romi's voice and songs - not for the faint of heart for sure. Grant Siemens will be slinging guitar, so you know just how much of a treat you're in for!
