Saturday Night Live: Eric Jackson & Willow River
Saturday, August 16 • 8:00 PM
Doors at 6:00 PM | $20 (+tax) in advance

 

Fresh off a CMA Ontario nomination, Eric Jackson & Willow River are bringing their signature blend of harmony-driven alternative country, bluegrass, and folk/Americana to The Bunker stage.

Rooted in the Waterloo Region and led by Métis singer-songwriter Eric Jackson, the band takes its name from the original name of the Grand River—Willow River—in honour of the region’s Indigenous heritage. Formed in 2021, the group found its voice through a shared love of acoustic instruments, three- and four-part harmonies, and storytelling songs that stick with you.

Their sound has drawn comparisons to The Eagles and carries an easygoing warmth—music made for porch swings, road trips, and slow Sunday mornings. Whether you're discovering them for the first time or already a fan, this is a night of original music that’s as grounded as it is inviting.

 

 

At The Bunker, we’re proud that the majority of ticket revenue goes directly to the artists. To support our mission and keep the music going, a minimum $10 purchase per person from our menu is required during ticketed shows.

With limited seating, we kindly ask all ticket holders to arrive no later than 15 minutes before showtime to ensure your spot. Reserved seating may be released 15 minutes after the show begins. If seats are no longer available, refunds may be issued in person. Please note: no refunds are issued for no-shows.
