Canadian singer-songwriter and two-time JUNO winner Ruth Moody performs at UKARIA Cultural Centre on Friday 9 October 2026. Her latest album Wanderer explores themes of love, loss, and motherhood across songs that speak to a longing for home.

Ruth Moody, a Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, brings her solo show to UKARIA Cultural Centre on Friday 9 October 2026 at 7:30pm. She has won two JUNO Awards (Canada's top music prize) and is a founding member of The Wailin' Jennys. Her collaborations with Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler have earned her wider acclaim and European touring opportunities.

Moody's latest album, Wanderer, documents her life over the past decade through songs centred on love, loss, and motherhood—ultimately exploring a longing for home. She has been described by HuffPost as having "the prettiest voice in all of North Americana these days." Mark Knopfler himself has stated: "I can't take her off my jukebox."

The performance runs approximately two hours with a 25-minute interval. Adult tickets are $80, concessions $75, and under-40s $40. Pre-concert dining is available, with an antipasti platter for two from $33. Ruth Moody will be accompanied by Ben Plotnick (violin, viola, vocals) and Sam Howard (double bass, vocals).
