Upcoming Western Canada and San Francisco Tour
Internationally acclaimed Jazz pianist and vocalist Champian Fulton and Swedish saxophonist/clarinetist Klas Lindquist are thrilled to announce a special tour across Western Canada and San Francisco this February 2026. The duo will bring their intimate, heartfelt music to audiences, building on the success of their critically acclaimed 2025 duo album At Home (Turtle Bay Records, released May 2, 2025).
At Home captures the warmth and spontaneity of their musical partnership, featuring elegant interpretations of jazz standards like "The Very Thought of You," "Tea for Two," and "Bésame Mucho." Recorded in a cozy living-room setting, the album has been praised as “a conversation of high art” by GRAMMY-winning historian Ricky Riccardi and hailed for its relaxed, timeless charm. In France the album has been nominated for Jazz album of the Year by the Academie du Jazz Prix.
The tour also precedes the release of Champian Fulton’s highly anticipated new album, (her 20th release!) titled House Party, set to drop on April 10, 2026. This vibrant project celebrates 20 years of Champian’s recording success. Recorded live during a party in New York City, the project is meant to pay homage to Dinah Washington’s 1955 “Dinah Jams!” album, with special guests sitting in and champagne popping in the background.
Performances in Saskatoon SK, Vancouver BC, and Gabriola Island BC are topped off by a special quartet engagement in San Francisco at The Black Cat. The duo will appear in several formats during the tour, including with the Vancouver Jazz Orchestra on February 13 at the Shadbolt Center for the Arts in Burnaby BC.
Champian Fulton, recognized as “the most gifted pure Jazz singer of her generation” (Detroit Free Press) and “a charming young steward of the mainstream Jazz tradition” (The New York Times) is joined by Klas Lindquist, celebrated for his “technical brilliance” and “elegant style” (Göteborgs-Posten). Their collaboration brings a fresh, conversational energy to the Great American Songbook.
Tickets are available now via venue websites (e.g., The Bassment for Saskatoon shows) and Champian’s official site at www.champian.net.
Don’t miss this rare chance to witness two masterful Jazz artists in an intimate, conversational setting—fresh from the acclaimed warmth of their duo album At Home and poised to usher in an exhilarating new chapter with House Party.
