The Yardbird has been the go-to spot for Edmonton’s jazz aficionados for well over a half-century. It brings in acts both local and international, and has one of the most relaxed atmospheres in any venue you’re likely to come across, local or otherwise.
Recognized by DownBeat Magazine as a Great Jazz Venue of 2014, Yardbird is a seasoned vet in Edmonton’s local jazz scene. Great acoustics and a welcoming layout bring in receptive audiences, which, in turn, draws the best in local, national and international performers.
