Jed and the Valentine, the musical collaboration born in Edmonton, Alberta through the creative minds of Jonah Morris and Maria Khaner, has become a compelling force in the Canadian music scene, seamlessly blending soul-stirring harmonies with earthy roots and prairie folk influences. The duo’s unique sound has earned them praise, with the Edmonton Folk Festival remarking that “Their harmonies are haunting and their guitar strumming is gentle; the vibe is full-on fresh lemonade.”

​

Since its inception, Jed and the Valentine have taken a self-managed approach, relying on their irresistible charm and undeniable talent to carve a path in the industry. Their journey has been marked by sold-out performances and a rapidly expanding fanbase, with hundreds of thousands of followers captivated by their music.

Jed and the Valentine’s meteoric rise is punctuated by the release of their debut album, ‘Awake!’, which has been featured on Exclaim! Magazine’s ‘Eh! List’, CBC’s Provincial playlist, and debuted at #6 on CKUA’s top 30 chart spending several weeks in the top 30 and top 10 respectively. ​

In just two years, Jed and the Valentine have discovered their musical stride, delivering songs that evoke a range of emotions – from laughter to tears and everything in between. Their debut album, ‘Awake!’, is reminiscent of stomp-and-clap bands like The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, and The Head and the Heart, and sets the stage for their busiest summer to date.
