Join us for an evening of storytelling and shared connection through evocative original songs and traditional old-time tunes! Alberta Parks is pleased to present The Western Thistles as featured artists for the 2026 season of Music in the Forest at Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park! Known for their clawhammer banjo, rhythm guitar, and rich vocal harmonies, The Western Thistles blend old-time roots with modern-day storytelling, creating a sound that’s raw, resonant, and heartfelt. Their self-titled debut album, recorded live off the floor and co-produced by Miles Wilkinson (Emmylou Harris, Guy Clark), reached #26 on CKUA’s Top 100 most-played albums of 2025.
