About The Event
BALLADS & BADLANDS
Great Lake Swimmers + Elliott BROOD
Live at the Golden Civic Centre | Tuesday October 28, 2025
Two of Canada’s most evocative and enduring folk-rooted bands come together for an unforgettable night in Golden.
Led by Tony Dekker, Great Lake Swimmers have spent over two decades crafting songs that are both grounded and transcendent — rooted in the natural world, yet expansive in their emotional reach. Their newest single, “One More Dance Around the Sun,” is a warm, analog-rich reflection on time, change, and perseverance. With backing vocals reminiscent of Laurel Canyon’s golden age and instrumentation shaped by some of Canada’s finest collaborators, the band continues to create music that feels intimate, timeless, and deeply human.
Joining them are Elliott BROOD, a trio known for their powerful blend of grit and melody. Over the years, they’ve earned a devoted following for songs that are steeped in memory, from historical battlefields to personal reckonings. Their JUNO Award–winning work combines folk, rock, and storytelling into a sound that is both cathartic and cinematic. Their most recent album, Keeper, turns the lens inward, exploring themes of loyalty, worthiness, and emotional endurance.
This evening offers a rare opportunity to experience two of Canada’s most thoughtful and dynamic bands on one stage — each offering a distinct but complementary voice in the national music landscape.
