The Stampeders - One More Time

No seventies group represented Canada's musical identity to the world like The Stampeders. A quick look at Canada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country's international musical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group during that time.  In 1977 the trio: Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums) and Ronnie King (bass) parted company but reunited, fittingly at the Calgary Stampede, 15 years later in 1992. Since then, they’ve been recognized by SOCAN for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the SOCAN Songwriters Hall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit Sweet City Woman.

Beatlemania Revisited!

VaughnCo Entertainment is proud to present

Beatlemania Revisited!

"It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog..."

Music fans will easily recall these famous lyrics sung by the legendary John Lennon in the timeless Beatles’ hit ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, a worldwide chart-topping single for the Liverpool group back in 1964. The Beatles are the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music and according to Guinness World Records, their recordings have sold over one billion units. Originally formed in 1960, the group developed their musical skills and reputation through extensive live performances that culminated into riotous enthusiasm by screaming fans wherever they went, a phenomenon that became known as ‘Beatlemania!’.

July Talk - Touch X Tour

Even in the stark orderliness of black and white, July Talk has always been a work in progress. More accurately, it’s a work of progress, a communal pursuit of euphoric togetherness as a mode of being. For this compulsively DIY, rigorously self-realizing group, the essence of July Talk has always been the tension between precision and chaos. Between these two extremes, in that kinetic, staticky, sticky space, is where July Talk truly takes shape. On stage, July Talk unfurls and explodes. The action pings from slo-motion commotion to back-bendy communion, fluid (as in bodily) and liquid (as in the dark goo phase of metamorphosis). Things get weird.

 For over a decade, July Talk has pursued its relentless project to know itself, a fundamental baseline from which to access raw ecstasy and agony. The three-time JUNO Award winning band’s unmistakable artistic stamp has spanned from studio albums to documentary films, dive bars to festival stages. July Talk is co-leads Leah Fay Goldstein and Peter Dreimanis, guitarists Ian Docherty and Josh Warburton, drummer Danny Miles and percussionist Dani Nash.

Stardust: A Diamond Heist Cabaret

Stardust is a dazzling, wordless spy-themed dance comedy where cabaret meets cartoon chaos. Three rival teams of showgirl spies battle through mistaken identities, heists, and heartbreak in pursuit of the stolen Stardust Diamond. Set to a high-energy soundtrack and packed with slapstick humour, cinematic choreography, and a hint of romance, Stardust delivers spectacle, sass, and nonstop physical storytelling that transcends language. Think Austin Powers meets Moulin Rouge — glamorous, funny, and full of surprises.

Due to slapstick-style combat scenes and some cartoonish references to alcohol consumption, parental discretion is advised for viewers under the age of 12.
