Amy Nelson & Carter Felker LIVE at Wheelhouse
2026-04-24 20:00 - 23:30 | Wheelhouse Brewing, 217 1st Ave East, Prince Rupert, Canada
It’s the return of COUNTRY FAIR WEEKEND at Wheelhouse and we’re kicking it off with some live music!

Calgary’s Amy Nelson is a conduit of voices from the past, reverentially channeling the sounds of depression-era blues, psychedelic drone and mountain music. Amy Nelson is one of Canada’s best best performers, and has opened for artists such as Corb Lund, Tim Hus, Whitney Rose, and Frazey Ford.

Carter Felker’s songwriting is the embodiment of simplicity. Like the hammer and the nail, the tongue and groove or the wheel and its roll – the stringent and punchy use of words alongside outstanding fingerpicking are as effective as they are memorable.

BONUS – Late night ROCKNROLL set w/ Gamksimoon

Doors at 8pm. Show at 9pm.$15 advance / $20 at the door
