Hi, everyone!
We are looking forward to another fantastic weekend of live music, homemade dinners, and great company at The Village Bakery & Deli.
🚨 Lineup Update 🚨
Due to a last-minute illness, Johnny Pogue and the Colleens are unfortunately no longer able to perform this evening as scheduled.
While we are disappointed by this unexpected change and wish them a speedy recovery, we are excited to share that we have secured another talented local Yukon musician to take the stage in their place.

ON DECK:
Tonight - Aug 7th - Small TALK
Bruce De La Cruz, better known as small TALK, is a former Yellowknife musician originally from Cambridge, Ontario, and now lives in the Yukon.
His big heart translates into the big energy he puts into his performances, which has become a staple that small TALK fans expect at every show.
small TALK writes what's on his mind first, and worries about the details later, making every song as authentic as possible.
He also makes sure to stay down to earth as a performer, and enjoys banter (AKA "small talk" tee-hee) with his friends and fans while he's on stage.
While he's been away from Yellowknife, he’s been steadily breaking into the vibrant music scene in the Yukon, meeting fellow musicians and hosting open-mics when he can.
As a recipient of one of the 2025 Folk on the Rock Artist in Resident Mentorships, he’s excited to return to Yellowknife to perform for the birthplace of the small TALK persona as it exists today.
Tomorrow - August 8th - Beyond Hope
The Beyond Hope Band is a collaboration of Rebecca Dunne and Fraser Canyon (StephenClarke) based on their mutual love of old time music, fiddle tunes, and classic ballads and songs with a northern flavour. Recently formed in Whitehorse, their debut gig was well received at the 98 Hotel.

The music is still on, dinner is still being served, and we are looking forward to a wonderful evening together. Stay tuned as we introduce tonight's performer!
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you tonight. 🎶✨
