Info
The Fray bring their piano-led alt rock to Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton on May 23, 2026, with the Summer of Light Tour. Formed in Denver in the early 2000s around vocalist‑pianist Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King, the band built a sound where lean guitars, close harmonies and lyrics about relationships and doubt meet steady pop structures. Breakthrough singles Over My Head (Cable Car) and How to Save a Life opened the way to albums like The Fray, Scars & Stories and Helios. On stage, the set moves from intimate piano ballads to broader, atmospheric builds, drawing across that catalogue.
Also on the bill, Toronto’s The Strumbellas trace a line between indie folk and alt rock, leaning on group vocals, communal refrains and a direct melodic sense. Centered on the songwriting of Simon Ward, the band grew from early independent releases to Hope and Rattlesnake, with Spirits becoming a reference point. Since 2022, Jimmy Chauveau has handled lead vocals on tour while Ward focuses on writing, and the 2024 album Part Time Believer adds fresh material to a set that balances country-tinged strums and brisk pop hooks.
