All you need is a go-to karaoke song and a hint of stage presence. This year, karaoke nights are every other Thursday and hosted by Miss Rizz, Banff Centre’s own Queen of Karaoke.

Marissa (Miss Rizz) is an interdisciplinary artist and arts administrator living and working in Banff on Treaty 7 territory. Originally from Calgary, with ties to Edmonton and France, she spends her days in theatres and her nights chasing a good performance. She is no stranger to karaoke and firmly believes everyone has at least one great song in them. Marissa loves a strong duet, a tight three-minute song, and a dance break (only if there is full commitment). If she’s hosting, expect good vibes, zero judgment, and potential costume changes.

Step into the smoky allure of Weimar-era Berlin, the romance of Parisian salons, and the intimacy of New York’s underground clubs.

Internationally acclaimed performer ONALEA returns to The Banff Centre with a haunting theatrical concert where cabaret, storytelling, and cinematic song collide. With lush arrangements by Emmy Award–winning composer Dave Pierce (Michael Bublé, Ariana Grande), performed live by a quartet of world-class musicians, she delivers an elegant, intimate evening where tenderness and apocalypse intertwine.

Known for her mesmerizing performance as Hecate in New York City’s Sleep No More and her celebrated cabarets at the McKittrick Hotel’s Manderley Bar, ONALEA crafts musical experiences that transcend time and genre. Her voice—evoking greats such as Peggy Lee, Judy
Garland, and Amy Winehouse—anchors a distinctive fusion of jazz, swing, and pop.

Her original works, including Blanche and Requiem for a Lost Girl, have premiered in New York and toured internationally. Mata Hari in 8 Bullets (co-created with the late David Rhymer, with lyrics by Blake Brooker) played to sold-out audiences in New York and Edinburgh.

One night only—where Cabaret meets The End Of The World.

Bring a small item for The End of the World Time Capsule which fits in the palm of your hand—and dress in your finest apocalyptic chic.

SHY FRiEND is what happens when a queer, prairie-based, chronically-online and toxically self-determined artist faces the realities of the music industry in late-stage capitalism. It’s brutally honest, tragically dramatic, and full of feminine rage. SHY FRiEND has been turning the Alberta music scene into a space for the queer, alt, pop and punk misfits to share in while experiencing the sonic equivalent of their mantra “TO BE CRINGE IS TO BE FREE.”

Freshly assembled in 2023, SHY FRiEND has become notorious for their striking visuals and absurd antics from dive-bars to festivals across Alberta as a 5-piece gaggle of goofballs. SHY FRiEND is a powerhouse of sass and passion, with each member hooting, hollering, and dancing up a storm on stage (and oftentimes jumping into the crowd to be a part of the party!) The energy that SHY FRiEND gives off bleeds into the audience with screaming contests, mosh pits, singalongs, and call and responses creating a synergetic environment akin to a secular, punk-rock church.

Timothonius is a Calgary-based pianist and composer whose playing moves between worlds—classical, neo-soul, gospel and contemporary jazz—without ever quite settling in any one of them. Trained at Mount Royal University and Berklee College of Music, he brings both deep roots and an appetite for the unplanned to everything he touches.
For this return to CLVB '33, Timothonius is joined by vocalist and singer-songwriter Jane Madeleine, whose voice sits at the edge of intimacy and atmosphere: velvet-smooth, emotionally unhurried, and quietly haunting. Together, they navigate the space between structure and spontaneity, moving fluidly between composed repertoire and improvised discovery. Their musical dialogue is part concert, part conversation, and always alive to what the moment offers. Come ready to be surprised.
