Video Premiere: Wolf Willow - Live at Darke Hall


Longtime favourites of Cups N Cakes, Wolf Willow, have gifted us the opportunity to premiere a concert film that showcases a sold out performance last November in Regina's historic Darke Hall. We are very excited for this video because it offers the chance for their fanbase outside of Saskatchewan the opportunity to watch what would have been the perfect setting for a Wolf Willow concert. The idea behind the show was to showcase the bands roots and inspiration which is the big Western Swing orchestras of the 40s and 50s playing in beautiful theatres. The evening features the ten piece band at their finest with guest appearances from Gil &Wil, Ellen Froese and Clayton Linthicum (of Kacy and Clayton).

The film was shot by Little Jack Films who is well known for his support of roots music through the Littlest Honky Tonk series and as a champion of Western Canadian Music through his film The Musical Republic of Western Canada. The video arrives as the band prepares to head out to play shows in Saskatoon (Amigos Oct 16) and Calgary  (Palomino Smokehouse Oct 17).

Take some time out of your day and hit play on this incredible performance that will transport you to another time. And as always, please check out their Bandcamp page to support the band by purchasing their music.

"I did it all very DIY. Everything you see was me learning on the fly. I'm a carpenter not a musician, or a journalist, or a publicist... I'm a carpenter and a weird crazy music fan that thought he could do something fun that might benefit something I care about"

Over the years, MacCallum's commitment to elevating Canadian music earned him a spot as a Polaris Prize Juror, a WCMA Juror, a consultant for music festival curation, and a dear friend to independent music in Canada.
