Pop-Up Market

The pop-up retail project is closer to becoming a reality. Retail space is available downtown that would allow 12 vendors to set up shop and showcase their product on a short-term basis (one week, one month, six months or one year). The space still needs minor renovations and a potential opening in 6 months may be possible.

Lloydminster's pilot pop-up retail project is organized in partnership with Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce, Community Futures Lloydminster & Region, Lloydminster Economic Development and Destination Downtown Streetscapes.

If you are an artisan interested in short-term pop-up retail space, take the survey: here

Four brothers, one destiny. (Okay that might've been a little over-the-top).

Liam, Jeremy, Luke, and Joe have been making music most of their lives in one way or another. With many musical stylings and influences, bluegrass, folk, Celtic, reggae, blues and rock 'n roll, it's difficult to put them into one musical genre. They've been called the Western band with the Eastern sound, and their many original tunes reflect this diversity.

The Tourist Company

Kate Weekes – Singer-Songwriter, Guitar, Vocals

The Root: Community Emporium
Mar 24, 2015
Phone: 306-825-5885

Kate Weekes stood on the Trans-Canada Highway eleven years ago; she stuck out her thumb and left Ontario for an adventure in the Yukon. Now, deeply embedded in the Yukon music community, Kate lives in a little orange cabin outside of Whitehorse and spends the Yukon winters working with 17 sled dogs. On her travels throughout Canada Kate has been moved to capture the stories of characters she meets along her way and ponder a sense of place within the varying lifestyles of our country. Her songs paint pictures of mushing through the mountains and paddling in the remote corners of the Yukon.
Kate released her debut self-titled album in 2007 and has since performed throughout Canada, Japan & China. Her eclectic interests in music have led to collaborative projects including an album of northern fiddle tunes with Home Sweet Home in 2011 and a folk/swing album “Beneath the Yukon Moon” with Grant Simpson the same year. The past year has seen Kate perform in places stretching from Nanjing China to McDonald’s Corners in Ontario to Haines Junction in the Yukon. “Frost on Black Fur” is Kate’s second solo album. Released in October 2014, the original songs weave tales of dog mushing in Yukon’s winter, paddling on remote rivers in the Peel Watershed and send the listeners as far away as Ireland and China. Kate toured the album in Ontario in the fall of 2014 and will be performing across Canada in the winter and spring of 2015.

Chad Brownlee

A testament to his drive and talent, Chad Brownlee is an extraordinary example of what one person can achieve. Although he may focus on living in the moment and absorbing every treasured second with his fans while performing on stage, Brownlee has already lived a life many would argue could fill multiple lifetimes. An award-winning singer, songwriter, philanthropist and former NHL draft pick, country music artist Brownlee is by definition a renaissance man, who lives by the credence that “opportunity lies along the path created by the choices you make.” 

In recent years his singles have rapidly climbed the country music charts, with multiple singles cracking Top 10, including “Listen”, “Smoke In The Rain” and “Crash”.

Over the last few years Brownlee has received critical acclaim and numerous accolades including a highly coveted JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year, and consecutive Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA®) Award™ Male Artist of the Year nominations (2012 & 2013).

Jess Moskaluke

Jess Moskaluke is dazzling the country music world. Her rapidly growing fan base is evident, with a collective online following in the millions, receiving her official Silver Play Button YouTube award for breaking 100,000 subscribers. A notable performer on the 2014 CCMA® Awards Show live broadcast, Jess dominates the stage with her powerful vocals, country-pop style and infectious smile. Her single "Cheap Wine and Cigarettes" quickly became the highest charting song on the iTunes top 200 singles chart for any Canadian artist. With this second single off of her new 10‐track album Light Up The Night, she also achieved GOLD record status in August 2014; becoming the first Canadian female solo country artist to surpass 40,000+ downloads for a song since Shania Twain. Moskaluke just earned two Juno nominations for Country Album and Breakthrough Artist.

Bobby Wills

An acclaimed musician with a reputation for writing from the heart, Bobby Wills is an award‐winning country artist balancing a dual personality as he musically shifts gears, tapping into a heavier country sound with the release of his new album. Years in the making, his third album Crazy Enough, is an intense mixture of rock‐inspired country tracks featuring a musical attack of the senses with percussion and a bevy of string instruments, balanced with his signature melodic harmonies and intimate lyrical story‐telling. As he spent countless hours in studio completing his new album, Alberta native Wills has enjoyed an extraordinary year winning the 2013 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA®) awards™ Rising Star title, as well as consecutively taking home the Alberta Country Music Association (ACMA) Male Artist of the Year award (2012/2013).

Tereza Tomek hosts Open Mic

The Root: Community Emporium
Mar 31, 2015
Phone: 306-825-5885

Tereza Tomek’s lyrically driven songs tell the tales of characters you never expected to meet but are glad you did, such as a West Coast Trail lighthouse keeper at the turn of the century, a girl whose receives a life-saving organ transplant because of a strangers tragedy, and a tree with a bad case of wanderlust. They are sprinkled with vivid imagery and themes of nature, isolation, grief, restlessness, exploration, defiance, and love. Though sometimes the story is told through the eyes of others, her songs are deeply personal and rooted in the empathy that binds us all.  Audiences can expect an interactive presentation of unique songwriting delivered with richly toned vocals, catchy guitar riffs, endearing stage presence, and a good dose of humour.
