Musician Eric Kane performs in Lac La Biche for Music in the Forest concert

Kane played in front of a sold-out audience for the show at Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park.

LAC LA BICHE - Edmonton-based musician Eric Kane brought his brand of storytelling through song to Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park for the latest installment of the 2026 Music in the Forest concert series. The show, which took place in front of a capacity crowd inside the park amphitheatre, occurred on June 27. Kane took to the stage with his guitar for the performance, singing such tracks as ‘Eyes Wide Open’ and ‘Memories Crawl.’

Throughout the evening, Kane, who was accompanied onstage by musician Brandon Boucher, told the stories behind many of his songs. This included ‘Destiny’, a tune focused on mental health, and ‘Sunsets and Silhouettes’, inspired by the artist’s travels through the Rocky Mountains straddling Alberta and British Columbia during tours. Kane also performed the very stirring song ‘Western Winds’, along with ‘The Depths of Me’, whose theme is love.

Members of the audience also got to hear the live version of Kane’s hit ‘Water My Soul’, which is a tribute to the people, moments, and connections that replenish the human spirt. Kane, who played in Lac La Biche during the opening show for the 2024 Music in the Forest series, was happy to return to Sir Winston Churchill Park. “It’s always great to establish myself in a place, and experience a place, and come back and have a response like we are tonight, which is a sold-out show,” he told Lakeland This Week.

“It feels very good.” Since the beginning of 2026, Kane has been busy with a steady schedule of Canadian tour dates, gigs that took him from Montreal all the way to Victoria. “Watching the momentum build with my career so far this year has just been a very surreal yet fulfilling experience, to say the least,” he said.
