Incredible young talent out at our weekly Saturday open mic!

⭐ The Virgos are coming...watch for them on 118! ⭐ -

Say goodbye to August with a little blues as Peter Nolan performs for us tonight at 7 :30pm. #yegmusic #thecarrot #yegarts #yegartist #livemusic #exploreedmonton #exploreyeg

If you're a fan of early blues, delta and piedmont style, this show is for you. The solo performer may have peaked in the early sixties, but the tradition lives on. Come hear some raw, authentic, renditions of pre war blues tunes from the likes of Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, Blind Willie Johnson. Some contemporary and original songs will flow naturally from spirit of the past.

What a great way to end this Jazz Alley Pop Up series. Thanks to Down Low Trio and all the artists who performed this summer. Thank you to all those who attended and took part in the jam sessions, making it a memorable experience for all. We’ll see you at our Kaleidofest Jazz Alley shows on September 14, 15 and 16.

Till Midnight on Tuesday Aug 28 you can vote for the carrot for Best Coffee on The Star Edmonton's Community Choice Awards!

The show must go on! Jazz Jam is still happening. We’ll see you at The Carrot at 7pm.

Our own Carissa Halton's new book, Little Yellow House, is now available at The Carrot!
"In Little Yellow House, Halton introduces us to a cast of diverse characters in her Alberta Avenue neighbourhood - including cat rescuers, tragic teens, art evangelists, and crime fighters - and invites us to consider the social and economic forces that shape and reshape our cities."
