Hailey Benedict
Thurs., Sept. 29, Ironwood; Fri., Sept. 30, Calgary Legion
Rising Alberta country artist Hailey Benedict clearly loves Ironwood’s big stage as the black-leather clad singer routinely charges from one side to the other while wailing on her guitar. While her show has plenty of classic country ballads and country-pop tracks, rock lurks at the core of Benedict’s sound.
The night after her Ironwood show, Benedict plays the Calgary Legion and finally surrenders to her rock urge, delivering a searing medley of all the power tracks she played in her bedroom as a kid growing up, including AC/DC and Guns n’ Roses.
