Roll the Bones at the Grand Night Market
Roll the Bones at the Grand Night Market
5:30pm-7:30pm
Roll the Bones is an Edmonton rock band making the kind of music you'd hope to stumble across in a dimly lit bar.
The band leans into garage rock, blues, and psychedelic influences without overthinking it. Loud enough when it needs to be, restrained when it counts, and always built around good songs. They've shared stages with Hotel Mira and The Lazys, sold out hometown shows, and are always working on what's next.
The band is currently finishing up a new EP that will be released this summer.
The Grand Night Market is a must-visit evening experience in Edmonton, bringing a lively atmosphere to carefully selected core destinations and neighbourhoods across the city.
Each event features a carefully curated lineup of food trucks, pre-packaged ready-to-eat foods, and a dynamic mix of artisans and makers, from jewelry and apparel to vintage treasures. The Grand Night Markets are perfect for those looking to explore new brands in a fresh and exciting way, all while enjoying great food, music, and fun.
