Steve Poltz with Lewis and Royal

Steve Poltz has spent more than three decades as a singer-songwriter-performer of the first order, earning international applause and fans around the world with his inspired brand of rockin’ countrified folk Americana. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but living most of his life in Southern California, he first made his bones as frontman for underground legends The Rugburns and has gone on to establish a critically lauded 14-album solo catalog.

Since Lewis and Royal joined forces in 1993, these prairie boys have charmed their way across Western Canada, performing intimate concerts in prairie churches and community halls to major folk festivals and even the Calgary Saddledome, with songs that celebrate the quirks and comforts of rural life. One moment they’ll have you tapping your toes, the next, wiping away tears of laughter. Their stage chemistry is undeniable, and no two shows are ever quite the same. Quick on their feet, they love to riff off each other and the audience, turning even the most unexpected moments into comedic gold.
