About the 2026 Music Lineup:

Wailin’ Walker Band: With a career spanning over five decades, Al ‘Wailin’ Walker is a true blues powerhouse—known for electrifying guitar and high-energy rhythm and blues. A chart-topping artist who’s shared the stage with legends, he’s bringing his signature sound to Salmon Sessions.

James Shepherd Band: a White Rock-based guitarist known for his versatile style and strong presence in the local music scene, blending rock and blues influences with blistering blues licks and an expressive playing style.

Three Nines Fine: Hailing from Vancouver, Three Nines Fine are a five-piece rock band bringing serious heat—fresh off their Battle of the Bands win in White Rock. High energy, killer vocals, and ripping guitar… and they’re just getting started.

Generous Thieves: While still under the radar at home, Generous Thieves found their spark overseas—breaking out in Japan with sold-out shows and a fast-growing fanbase. Now, their reggae fusion sound is bringing that global energy back to the stage at Salmon Sessions.

Westwood Theory: Westwood Theory is a rising BC band born from after-school jam sessions, now known for their raw, high-energy sound. With powerful vocals and undeniable chemistry, they’re not following a blueprint—they’re building their own.

Rowan: Hailing from White Rock, Rowan began busking with her ukulele at just 8, quickly evolving into a multi-instrumentalist on guitar and keys. Blending vintage to modern sounds with original music, she released her debut single “Poison Apple” in 2026.

About the Little Campbell Hatchery:

The current hatchery building has been subjected to years of flooding over its nearly 40-year history. During the devastating atmospheric river floods of 2021, the hatchery was further damaged and tens of thousands of fish eggs were destroyed when the building was under three feet of water.SFGC is planning to construct a new building on higher ground – safe from the flooding hazards of the future. As well, it will modernize its equipment and operating systems to grow even more. It is estimated that each year, the SFGC hatchery releases an additional 100,000 salmon into the river system – over the past 40 years that equates to approximately 3.5 - 4 million salmon. Now that’s a conservation story!

About Salmon Sessions Music Festival

Now in its fourth year, Salmon Sessions Music Festival continues to grow as South Surrey’s premier community music festival and a vibrant celebration of conservation, live music, arts, culture, and community. Since its launch, the festival has showcased more than 60 local musicians, creating meaningful opportunities for artists and strengthening Surrey’s regional arts and entertainment sector. In 2025, Salmon Sessions expanded to include an Artisan Market, bringing even more local creativity, small businesses, and community connection to the festival experience.

Salmon Sessions is designed to be welcoming and inclusive for people of all ages and abilities, with family friendly activities, a pet friendly setting, accessible festival spaces, and support for guests with diverse accessibility needs.

Looking ahead, organizers are exploring opportunities to grow Salmon Sessions into a multi day South Surrey music festival, with additional artists, community activations, and attractions such as a car show. This continued growth will welcome more visitors, support local businesses, increase tourism, and expand the festival’s cultural and economic impact across Surrey and the wider region.
