Jed and the Valentine

A cup of coffee that warms your hands on a rainy day; the feeling of wind rushing through the car window as you sing your heart out on the highway; songs that feel like “love letters set to music” (Kate Stevens, CKUA). Jed and the Valentine (Maria Khaner and Jonah Morris) weave glimmers of guitar and banjo with their soul-stirring vocals, carefully crafting their own personal brand of sun-dappled indie-folk. The duo had been dating for two years before they decided to start casually writing songs together, bringing their most vulnerable moments into music. It was only months before they were invited to play at some of Canada’s major folk festivals, and in the year following, they released their debut album Awake! (2024). Their debut was full of wonder; the album brought soaring harmonies, rich layers of melodies mingling with one another, and lyrics that dance alongside the mix of string and brass instruments creating a fusion of bluegrass, pop, and indie. In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb (2025), the duo’s sophomore album, punctuated the duo’s journey with a spot in CKUA’s Top Ten. Jed and the Valentine wear their hearts on their sleeves — and still leave you wanting more. Jed and the Valentine are officially celebrating the release of their third album "Scavenger's Instinct" and it's a night you won't want to miss! ___ To purchase accessible seating for events in the Horowitz Theatre, please contact the venue directly at tickets@horowitzevents.ca or 780.492.4764.
