Former CQAF Artist in Residence Alana Henderson makes her long-awaited return to the festival stage with a special full-band performance – her first in over six years.
Offering an intimate preview of her forthcoming album, A Wilderness of Warning – a deeply personal work that asks what it means to be cautioned against experience yet drawn into it all the same.
Known for her distinctive blend of lyrical vulnerability, musical sophistication, and quiet emotional power, Henderson has cultivated a dedicated following. At once personal and universal, her heartful indie folk resonates deeply and lingers long after the last note.
Her forthcoming album A Wilderness of Warning marks a significant and timely return to the solo spotlight sharing songs with depth, clarity and new-found intent that reflects her continued evolution as an artist.
