Range Road Girls and Krista Hartman keep your toes tapping, your hands clapping, and your heart inspired
Range Road Girls, from western Canada, play original folk & traditional fiddle music with nods to the past and fresh spins in the endless prairie fields. Dara Schindelka & Donna Turk met in 2023 playing at the event & instantly found a musical connection. Since that time they’ve joined forces to carefully curate tunes that will keep your toes tapping, your hands clapping, and your heart inspired.
Krista Hartman is an Edmonton based alt-country songwriter. Raised in Canada’s North Country, Krista grew up surrounded by music—playing guitar and singing old country ballads at midnight campfires. Songwriting has been her golden key to processing life. Hartman is a spirited live performer and her songs are heartfelt postcards to the world.
Date: July 17, 2026 Time: 8:00 PM Admission: By donation ($20 suggested)
Short Bio:
Krista Hartman is a cinematic alt-country songwriter whose music drifts between introspection, wanderlust, and storytelling.
Born and raised in Canada’s North Country, she grew up singing vintage country songs around midnight campfires with her musical family. Inspired by Neil Young, she secretly penned her own songs. Songwriting became her golden key to make sense of the world.
Years of solo travel, busking, and performing abroad shaped her poetic voice and timeless sound — blending alt country with folk, she performed and collaborated with countless other artists on stage.
With four albums and a duet with Ron Sexsmith, Krista continues to craft songs that feel like postcards from the heart.
The artwork for Krista Hartman’s new album, Collage, highlights the vibe over the past few years: fragmented moments, bright and dull that somehow all fit together into an abstract puzzle.

The artwork for Krista Hartman’s new album, Collage, highlights the vibe over the past few years: fragmented moments, bright and dull that somehow all fit together into an abstract puzzle.
The unconscious and conscious aspects of an honest songwriting moment are equally honoured in Collage. The songs included are juxtaposed treasures. Some songs are hopeful tales, others are dark. A few songs are sparsely arranged; or live off the floor, while others are fully produced. The songs examine the shadow self and higher self. Yet, they all fit together exploring mysteries that make life worth living.
Collage examines the power of emotional freedom and celebrates yin and yang forces of expression without judgment. The setting for the album changed for each song, a montage creation process similar to ripping pages from a magazine to build a vision.
Hartman’s experimental sound crosses several genres. Collage was created with the help of countless collaborators and in the end, pieced together by Krista Hartman and Jordon Zadorozny (Blinker the Star). Krista Hartman has created music since 2005 and continues to let the music guide the way.

MAGIC IS EVERYWHERE. TRANSCEND, KRISTA HARTMAN’S 4TH CANADIANA ALBUM, PROVES THAT THE GENUINE QUEST TO UNCOVER IT, IS WORTH THE PURSUIT.
“With a mix of 90’s solo rock and a bright sense of pop, Krista Hartman’s latest release, Transcend is a breath of fresh air.” -Ottawa Life
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 10th/2021
Transcend Track Listing:
1. I’M YOUR GARDEN (3:44): a soulful song for anybody who has ever struggled to sustain a relationship. It's about trying to cultivate long-lasting love with a partner.
2. PSYCHIC LADY FROM MONTREAL (3:53): a ballad about a clairvoyant woman I crossed paths with over several decades. She was an empath who wore sunglasses to dull out people's auras. She was perhaps the most fascinating woman I have ever met in the world. "Psychic Lady" is my tribute to her.
3. FLOWER CHILD (4:23): a vulnerable and earthy ballad; one that unravels a renegade's initiation journey. FLOWER CHILD explores the value of spirituality and the process of honouring the authentic self in a complex world.
4. MOONLIT MOTEL (2:46): examines the value of escapism to hone in on intrinsic passions.
5. THE DARKEST HOURS (3:30): a contemplative and hopeful ballad about clinging to light when life seems melancholic.
6. HIGHER THAN SKIES (3:42): a happy-sad song about the fight it takes to keep going as an artist and the magical feeling that comes along with holding strong and pursuing the craft in defiance of all odds.
7. LULLABY (2:09): a spirited anti-lullaby. The song in itself is a perfect juxtaposition. “Lullaby” is a slumber party song, it’s meant to wake us up instead of lull us to sleep.
8. GUARDIAN ANGEL (3:43): A vulnerable ballad for anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
Transcend was recorded in Pembroke Ontario with the help of a renowned prodigious producer, Jordon Zadarozny (Sam Roberts), and mastered by Noah Mintz.
Hartman’s fourth commercial record, Transcend follows Constellations (2015), Nostalgia (2010)(which featured a duet, “Broken in Two” with Ron Sexsmith and Passport (2005 self-produced).
