Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity has added a concert by Vancouver rocker Jimi to its CLVB '33 schedule, with 'Jimi: Bar Stars and Beauty Queens Tour' set for October 11, 2026. The performance is listed for CLVB '33 in Banff, Alberta, with doors at 6 p.m. and showtime at 7 p.m. General admission is priced at $20, and tickets go on sale Friday, July 31, at 8 a.m.
The announcement places the concert within CLVB '33, the Banff Centre’s summer club series space, which the institution describes as a venue for live music, cabaret, jazz jams, DJs, karaoke, readings and comedy nights. While the broader CLVB '33 programming runs through the summer, the Jimi show is a separately listed date later in the year. The event page identifies it as the only Banff stop on the artist’s 'Bar Stars and Beauty Queens' tour.
Jimi’s profile on the Banff Centre site emphasizes a guitarist-driven rock sound, calling her a breakout rocker from Vancouver with “unstoppable guitar chops,” “powerhouse vocals,” and a songwriting style that blends blues grit with modern rock swagger. The page also says she is “quickly becoming one of the most exciting new artists on the scene.” These descriptions come from the venue’s promotional copy and are paired with a quotation from Georgia Straight: “The Vancouver rocker has been on a tear.”
The same material points to a growing live-performance résumé. Banff Centre says Jimi has already shared stages with The Black Crowes, Def Leppard, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, and Cameron Whitcomb, and that she has also received mentorship from Bryan Adams. No further biographical details are provided in the source material, but the announcement uses those credentials to frame the Banff date as an opportunity to see the artist in a smaller room.
That intimacy is part of the pitch for CLVB '33, which the Banff Centre describes as an in-house club for weekend programming. The concert listing says the venue is “a perfectly intimate setting for every riff and lyrics to land harder and closer,” underscoring the event’s club-scale format rather than a large theatre presentation.
The Banff Centre’s announcement was distributed on July 29, 2026, through its email and event pages. The concert is tagged under Music, and the ticketing details are straightforward: single-night admission, one Banff performance, and a scheduled start on Sunday, October 11, at CLVB '33.
