THE STILLHOUSE SONGWRITER SESSIONS

Set in a listening room atmosphere that creates a unique experience for both artists and fans, The Stillhouse Songwriter Sessions will focus on the craft of songwriting and the stories that go along with it.

FOOD/BEVERAGE

Food and beverage will be available for order before and during the show. We do recommend that you come early to avoid waits. You also have the option to pre-purchase the buffet for $25 including gratuity.

SEATING

For sold out shows, seating may be assigned; otherwise it is rush seating. Tables will be reserved for parties exceeding 6 guests.

THE LISTENING ROOM ATMOSPHERE

What you will experience here is a listening room. And while the performers love the audience to applaud and laugh, too much conversation during the show distracts other listeners and is disrespectful to the songwriters who form the backbone of this very special evening. We encourage talking before the show, between sets, during intermission, and after the show but ask that during the performances, audience members keep their voices low and talking to a minimum.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR ARTISTS

As a way of bringing some of the Nashville Honkytonk Tradition to this evening audience members may show their appreciation to the songwriters by making a donation in the artist tip jar located at the front of the stage at any time they wish throughout the evening.

JEFF CATTO is back! Returning with a brand new EP called “Neon Cathedrals”. This dynamic artist calls Calgary, Alberta home. Catto delivers an infectious blend of singer-songwriter pop/rock country mixed with Gospel roots that has been compared to and influenced by notable artists such as, Dierks Bentley, Niko Moon, and Needtobreathe..

His latest release, ‘Songs For My Wife’ carried breakout singles Round Of Life, Want You Even More and Friend, with the last two spending significant time on Sirius XM as well as landing on over 500 stations globally including Canada, USA and Australia.

After spending several years writing, performing and producing in the gospel music scene, he's thrilled to grow new roots in Country. "I love the country music scene these days. I love how welcoming and encouraging everyone is. I have been doing this for a very long time and that's something I haven't really, truly seen before. I want to be known as someone who writes to uplift and inspire people to not give up on family, life, love and dreams. I am a dream chaser."

In January 2021, Catto released his powerful country debut, 'Round of Life.' A song written about his daily life, his big beautiful family and his fun household. It gained attention throughout the country, garnering plays across several radio stations and achieving over 120k streams on digital services. Since setting his sights on Country, Catto has had the privilege of opening for Aaron Pritchett, Gord Bamford, Deric Ruttan, Sean Hogan, Jake Matthews, Diane Chase, Gil Grand, Kira Isabella and Jason McCoy.
