SUMMARY:201 Summer Concert: CAR287
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 201 Portage Plaza on Thursdays in June\, July\, and August for our summer concert series from noon to 1 pm. (Rain location: 201 Concourse). \nWhere plaid shirts meet leather jackets and Lululemons\, you’ll find CAR287—a band that defies genre gravity. With influences ranging from Muse to The Tragically Hip (with John Fogerty somewhere in between)\, this Winnipeg-born group started in 2014 as a basement cover band and grew into a powerhouse of original rock. \nAfter years of gigs—from backyard BBQs to full-blown galas—and a pandemic-fueled writing spree\, they ditched the covers and cracked open a Pandora’s box of riffs\, hooks\, and unexpected lyrical turns. Their debut album Through the Lens\, dropping September 20\, 2025\, is a genre-blending journey recorded at Winnipeg’s iconic Private Ear Studios. \nExpect booming vocals (Jay)\, ripping solos (Travis)\, thunderous bass (Terry)\, and relentless drums (Ryan). CAR287 is living proof that cover bands can evolve – and no\, they won’t play Here for a Good Time (again)\, even though it’s a good song.

SUMMARY:201 Summer Concert: Doug McArthur
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 201 Portage Plaza on Thursdays in June\, July\, and August for our summer concert series from noon to 1 pm.

Over the years\, he’s been the frontman and creative force behind rock bands Broken Halo and Soapbox\, written and released two albums and an EP\, and toured Western Canada\, playing everything from festival stages to packed headlining shows. \nWhen YouTuber samuraiguitarist released a cover of “Pinball Wizard” featuring Doug on vocals\, it didn’t just turn heads—it caught the attention of The Who themselves.

His band Broken Halo won the Power 97 Class of 2010 with their single “Rooftops.” \nDoug is now performing as a solo act. He released his debut solo single\, Hermit Phase\, produced by Rusty Robot (Waking Eyes\, Imaginary Cities) and its follow-up\, Draw The Line\, in 2023. Next came an EP in 2024\, featuring a remix of Draw The Line produced by Lana Winterhalt and a live version of Magic recorded at Fairy Ring Studios (Slow Spirit).

SUMMARY:201 Summer Concert: Shay Wolf
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 201 Portage Plaza on Thursdays in June\, July\, and August for our summer concert series from noon to 1 pm. (Rain location: 201 Concourse). \nShay Wolf is an alt-pop dream weaver\, crafting vibrant\, ethereal soundscapes that shimmer with emotion and imagination. Born on the wide-open prairies and based in Winnipeg\, Shay’s haunting vocals and luminous stage presence draw listeners into a world where reality blurs with reverie. \nA classically trained pianist turned singer-songwriter\, Shay blends cinematic textures with soaring pop melodies\, balancing introspective vulnerability with bursts of joyful defiance. Inspired by the likes of Charlotte Cardin\, AURORA\, and Lana Del Rey\, as well as the vast\, untamed beauty of her prairie roots\, her music captures both stillness and movement\, longing and wonder. \nHer songs explore the tender chaos of being human—loss\, hope\, transformation—always with a sense of curiosity and quiet magic. With each note\, Shay invites listeners to lean into the unknown and find beauty in the in-between. \nFollowing the release of her debut ‘Stay EP’ in 2023\, Shay is now preparing to unveil Sunny Days—a radiant anthem of renewal\, joy\, and hope. As her artistic vision continues to bloom\, Shay Wolf remains a magnetic force: a dreamer whose music shimmers with feeling and lingers like sunlight\, long after it fades.
