Country music in Calgary, Alberta

Prairie hospitality meets the laid-back mountain lifestyle in Calgary, where you can go from having a beer at a downtown pub to hiking a mountain trail in just 45 minutes.

Take a tour of Calgary's music scene, bike-friendly downtown, and nearby mountains with the city's own country music sensation Sykamore and radio personality Fraser Tuff. This city definitely has a lot going on, but it might be the country music scene's reputation—growing nationally and internationally—that's currently Calgary's most-happening element.

As Tuff proudly puts it: "There are so many little areas of this city where you can go and have an amazing time seeing live bands." There you have it. Calgary, Canada—your next live music destination, with a healthy dose of mountain escape and outdoor action thrown in.
