On Friday, September 12, The Whyte hosts a double bill performance with Duff Thompson and Steph Green.

Duff Thompson is a songwriter, musician, and producer whose music is a swampy blend of folk, pop, and garage rock. He has a rare ability to distill emotional complexity into simple, sincere songs that instantly hit the listener on a visceral level. As a producer, he draws from influences that span decades and genres, merging them into a cohesive and organic sound recognizable as his own. His latest work is the dark, alienated, and swaggering Shadow People duology—19 tracks recorded over two weeks during a Montreal heatwave in 2021. Whereas his 2020 debut Haywire showcased versatility and folk influences, Shadow People pushes further into garage and indie rock.

Steph Green’s music is for those who fancy the art of songwriting, depicting a lonely world illuminated by strangeness and beauty. Her sound blends folk, dream pop, and indie rock, and her lyrics reveal an affecting and arresting storyteller. A spirit of independence and experimentation defines her approach, with all releases featuring her as producer and multi-instrumentalist.

Each artist will perform a 45-minute set.

Seating is first come, first served.

Bar service will be available, along with light snacks and catering provided by Rimrock Banff, Presenting Hospitality Sponsor.
