Sunday afternoon brings us to the new spot for our Headliner event. Tickets for this event are $50 and include all 3 headliner performances at Medcine Hat College in the Eresman Theatre.
This year will host 3 amazing acts that you absolutely do not wish to miss and with a start time of 2 pm, you'll be home in time for supper!
Brand new to TOPFEST, Mallory Chipman will kick off the afternoon with some of the most soul-soothing and heart inspring vocals and lyrics you have heard in a very long time!
Award-winning singer-songwriter, Mallory Chipman, is fresh off the heels of her fifth studio album release and is turning heads across the international folk-roots scene. Her latest record, Songs to a Wild God, hit #1 on CKUA upon its release and was one of the only indie albums to debut in the National Radio Top 50.
Next up, and no stranger to our stage or Medicine Hat.....The Amazing and multi-award-winning artist Kyle McKearney makes his return to the main stage and ensures an unbelievable afternoon of songs and storytelling but this time joined by his wife Sarah as they harmonize and transport everyone to faraway place that somehow hits you right in the feels.
In 2020, Kyle McKearney was restless and ready to start something new. After spending time in Nashville and being a part of many varied musical projects, he settled in Alberta and began posting YouTube videos of himself performing cover songs. It was the start of a creative reinvention, and two years later Kyle’s debut solo album Down-Home received a Canadian Country Music Association award nomination for Alternative Country Album of the Year.
And to wrap up the afternoon on a high note, a local legend and an early contributor to shaping our beautiful festival........Phyllis Sinclair. Phyllis Sinclair, a Canadian Folk Music Award-nominated singer-songwriter weaves Indigenous realities with spirituality, astronomy, and mythology.
Having released six albums that include numerous Folk, and Indigenous chart-toppers, Phyllis Sinclair's discography stands as a tribute to her artistry, and testament to her authenticity.
With performances spanning Australia to the UK, Phyllis Sinclair captivates audiences through her dynamic story-telling and eclectic mix of pop and folk that seamlessly blends traditional wisdom with contemporary melodies.
