The McDades

Hello Folks,

We hope this message finds you well! It’s been a busy and inspiring time for us, we were deep in the studio recording our brand new album Thread The Light, which will be released in the spring of 2026. Between recording sessions, we’ve been out gigging in Canada, Europe, and the USA, and making lots of great music with friends old and new. Speaking of which, Shannon has produced another fabulous (we are biased) album with singer/songwriter Maria Dunn which will be release Nov. 6th at The Festival Place in Sherwood Park, Alberta and will also feature Shannon, Jeremiah & Solon.

If you haven’t already seen them, Jeremiah has been creating a weekly video series called Whistle Wednesday, where he shares tunes, stories, and whistle magic. You can find these videos on your favourite social media platforms, they’re a fun way to stay connected with our music throughout the year.

🎄 But the big news today is… tickets are now on sale for our annual Christmas concerts! 🎄
We’ll be returning to two of our favourite Edmonton venues, the John Walter Museum and the Muttart Conservatory, to celebrate the season with music, stories, and a few festive surprises. These shows are always special, and they tend to sell out quickly, so we encourage you to grab your tickets early.

Links for tickets in our bio Alternatively you can call 311 if you are in the city of Edmonton or 780-442-5311 if you are calling from outside Edmonton.

Along with our shows in the Edmonton region, we will be performing December 2nd at the beautiful Empress Theatre in Fort Macleod, AB.

We can’t wait to share these concerts, and a little holiday spirit, with you. Thank you, as always, for listening, coming to shows, and being part of this musical journey with us.

With warmth and music,
The McDades
