About Secondhand Dreamcar
Secondhand Dreamcar, an explosive soul/roots/blues band based in Edmonton, is a true superband – a consummate constellation of veterans of Canadian music who have worked on some of the finest jazz, funk, folk, soul, and blues projects ever created in Alberta. Collectively, they craft a distinct, funky, and lyrically-driven sound that journalist and programmer Peter North has deemed the most exciting thing to come out of the city since k.d. lang and the Reclines.
One of CKUA radio’s favourite acts, Secondhand Dreamcar saw its debut album “Answer The Call” land at Number 6 on the station’s Top 100 albums of 2024. But the band’s true superpower s as a dynamite live act, having cut its teeth as an ensemble in a 9-month residency at Edmonton’s legendary Blues on Whyte club, and since fostering an Alberta-wide, ever-growing following of devotees who never miss a show.
The Dreamcar has had a dreamy 2026, starting off by recording their sophomore album “Get Ready” and then receiving a JUNO, WCMA and 3 Canadian Blues Music Award nominations for “Answer the Call”. 2026 also saw the Dreamcar reach further and further with their music, playing the Winspear Centre, headlining shows across Alberta, and playing another full roster of summer festivals. Their very busy fall sees them release their new record, headline more and bigger shows and expand their touring to BC and Ontario.
