Come on out and help us crown the winner. Here’s who you can expect to see: \n \n \n \n \n \n Lucas Wentworth\n \nLucas Wentworth is a dynamic singer\, songwriter\, and producer whose music seamlessly blends the past and present to create a sound entirely his own. Hailing from Kelowna\, BC\, Lucas relocated to Edmonton and immersed himself in the sound of pop/rock. \nKnown for his crowd interaction and energetic live performances on stage\, he’s able to transform his concerts into memorable experiences\, whether leading the audience in sing-alongs during his upbeat tracks or sharing intimate moments during quieter songs. Backed by his invincible band\, Lucas promises an experience straight out of a VHS tape; a night his audience can’t forget. \n \n \n \n \n \n Lucky Keith\n \nLucky Keith is hungry for more exposure and opportunity! Drawing influences from a range of artists such as Pink Floyd\, The Strokes\, and Mac DeMarco\, Lucky Keith’s live performances are sure to take you on a wild ride. With a fun and psychedelic sound that captivates audiences\, they blend lush\, immersive melodies with upbeat rhythms\, creating an experience that transcends the ordinary.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Magpie Mill\n \nMagpie Mill is an indie folk-rock trio local to Edmonton. The band is comprised of MacEwan students Andrew Choy\, Josh Post\, and Addison Wall\, who each bring their own unique songwriting styles to the group. Magpie Mill’s catalogue ranges from folk ballads to jam-oriented experimental rock\, and everything in between \n \n \n \n \n \n Petrichord\n \nForged in the heart of Edmonton’s music scene\, Petrichord is a hard rock force that blends raw power with refined chaos. Formed in 2024\, the band is the product of five musicians with diverse musical backgrounds\, each bringing their own storm of influences—from classic rock and metal to jazz and even musical theatre. The result: a sound that’s both familiar and fresh\, loud yet layered—thunderous riffs colliding with soaring vocals.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Pibble Tamers\n \nPibble Tamers are a pop-funk band based around the songwriting of Margret Elegnio\, Kye Howrish\, and Lucas Wentworth. The Tamer’s songs are infused with danceable grooves and infecious lyrics\, backed up by unbelievable basslines from Ryden Jensen. Jack Warrey keeps the beats rocking\, and Owen Brahey ties each song together with devious riffs. The Pibble Tamers are planning to release their debut album in Febuary of 2026.  URL:https://samu.ca/event/battle-of-the-bands-winter-2026/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://samu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BotB2026-Feature.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20260109T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20260109T235900 DTSTAMP:20260404T050902 CREATED:20251202T232335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251202T232359Z UID:10000367-1767985200-1768003140@samu.ca SUMMARY:Meet SAMU Week - SAMU's Battle of the Bands DESCRIPTION:MEET SAMU WEEK\nWelcome\, and welcome back!
