River City Revival House is currently closed Mondays & Tuesday, but please visit Starlite Sessions (Starlite Room’s digital venue) for your live music needs!
The Starlite Sessions was created as a media hub, a digital venue. It is website, social media and YouTube channel that hosts online webinars, podcasts and concerts. We work with local musicians, live venues, to build employment and economic growth for local musicians, bands, Alberta based venues and communities by providing music based education, business solutions and digital exposure. Starlite Sessions hopes by developing an inclusive digital music and arts community and culture; economic growth, employment and revenue in the live music and arts community will increase by expanding youth retention and attracting tourism.

SPOTLITE SESSIONS
A spotlight on some of our favourite artists! Most Interviews that took place over the course of the pandemic have been conducted over zoom, in person interviews began after restrictions were lifted.
DOCUMENTARIES
We use the term “documentaries” loosely. The following is a collection of documentaries, short films, radio interviews, articles & more, all with one common denominator… each “documentary” showcases the people, places & things that have contributed to the music, art & culture of Edmonton, Alberta and Canada.
FUNK WORK JAM
This funkalicious event happened every Sunday at River City Revival House, when Covid-19 hit, Revival had to closed & unfortunately postpone our weekly jam. Lucky enough our hosts, Paul Steffes & Blair Wilkie filmed these RED HOT JAMS!
