Jake Vaadeland

If you are looking for something a bit different to do this autumn, Jake Vaadeland is bringing his sound to Brighton. He is a multi-instrumentalist from Saskatchewan, Canada, and he will be performing alongside The Sturgeon River Boys at Concorde 2 on October 22, 2026. The show is set to start at 19:30, and it is a good opportunity to see a blend of bluegrass and 50s rockabilly live. Vaadeland is known for his work on both the guitar and banjo, and his performances are generally focused on storytelling and connecting with the audience.

For those planning to head down to Madeira Drive, it is worth noting that this is a 14+ event. If you are under 16, you will need to be accompanied by an adult to get in. The venue, Concorde 2, is a familiar spot for many of us in the city, located right on the seafront at BN2 1EN. Tickets are currently available, with prices ranging between £20.00 and £23.50 depending on where you book them. It is a straightforward setup for a mid-week concert, and given the specific style of music, it might be of interest if you enjoy that particular mix of traditional bluegrass roots and rockabilly energy.
