Info
On 17 September 2026 at RA Centre in Ottawa, Cameron Whitcomb brings a country sound sharpened by rock and pop. The BC-raised singer first surfaced online, then hit a wider radar in 2022 with American Idol. Since then he’s been carving out solo tracks built on straight-ahead storytelling: road miles, loyalty, tangled relationships. Raspy voice up front, hooks that stick, electric guitars pushing the choruses — it’s modern country with a kick, written to be played loud on stage.
From Los Angeles, STELLA LEFTY plays the singer-songwriter lane with a pop instinct and an indie touch. Her songs lean on the voice and the story, arrangements kept lean and clear. She’s cut her teeth on the road opening for names like Will Swinton, Jessie Murph or Wyatt Flores, and in the studio with Joe Reeves, Hoskins, jkash and Grace Enger. A run across festival slots from Lollapalooza to Osheaga has tightened her live profile; the single thinking bout you points to the heart-on-sleeve core of her set.
Under the banner The White Buffalo, Oregon-born, SoCal-raised Jake Smith brings a deep baritone and a stack of folk, americana and rough-edged country. Active since the mid-2000s, he writes in scenes and characters — the road, bad decisions, small salvations — a tone many discovered through placements in Sons of Anarchy. On stage he can go stripped back or full band, shifting from slow-burn ballads to a tougher blues-rock pulse. Albums like On the Widow’s Walk and Year of the Dark Horse map the arc of the project to date.
