Secondhand Dreamcar, an explosive soul/roots/blues band from Edmonton, is a true superband – a consummate constellation of Canadian music veterans who have worked on some of the finest jazz, funk, folk, soul, and blues projects ever created in Alberta – and they are bringing their live show to Red Deer. Collectively, they craft a distinct, funky, and lyrically-driven sound that journalist and programmer Peter North called the most exciting thing to come out of the city since k.d. lang and the Reclines.

A CKUA Radio favourite, Secondhand Dreamcar’s debut album Answer The Call was its 6th most played album of 2024, and in 2025 the band became instant Alberta festival favourites, tearing up the stages at Edmonton’s and Calgary’s International Blues Festivals, and the Edmonton Folk Festival, among others. The Dreamcar has started off 2026 right, receiving three Canadian Blues Music Awards nominations and a JUNO nomination for Blues Album of the Year. Their second album will be released in the fall. Don't miss the chance to see them live.

Join Us for the Maternal Mental Health Stroll
Red Deer’s Maternal Mental Health Stroll began in 2021 as Flora’s Walk. Today, we continue this important movement in solidarity with communities across Canada throughout the month of May. Together, we walk to raise funds for vital perinatal mental health services, and to honor the memory of Flora, a Canadian mother whose life was tragically lost to undetected and untreated postpartum psychosis.
Our community stroll shines a light on the urgent need for improved perinatal mental health care. We believe that maternal mental health is the foundation of a thriving community, and we are committed to breaking down stigma, opening conversations, and ensuring every mother has access to the care and support she deserves.
Funds raised will stay local, supporting community programs, services, and research that directly impact the wellbeing of families right here at home.
Join us. Walk with us. Donate with us.
Together, we can create real, lasting change for mothers, families, and our entire community.
