Canadian singer-songwriter Jake Vaadeland brings his distinctive fusion of bluegrass and folk to Bristol’s Thekla on Wednesday 21 October 2026, with doors opening at 5.30pm. A multi-instrumentalist prized for his crisp banjo work and understated vocal delivery, Vaadeland performs songs steeped in traditional country storytelling. His live set shifts between foot-stomping rhythms and quieter, more reflective moments, often driven by the interplay of guitar, mandolin and upright bass. The venue’s converted barge setting on the harbour lends a low-lit, intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements the raw acoustic energy of the performance. Tickets are priced at £23.50.
