This week, Seth and Mackenzie sit down with Calgary artist Jessie Dans for an open and inspiring conversation about the hustle, heart, and hard truths behind pursuing music as a career. Jessie shares how she’s balancing three jobs while building her dream, recording in L.A., and finding her artistic identity through storytelling and collaboration.

From her vulnerable single “Sleeping Alone” to her empowering mindset that “nobody else wants your dream to come true,” Jessie brings honesty, humor, and wisdom to the mic.

Seth and Mackenzie also recap another action-packed week across Alberta’s live music scene — from Lewis Cardinal’s heartfelt Casa Musica show and Everly’s sold-out night at Semantics, to NIK POLI’s full-band takeover in Edmonton during CFR weekend. Plus, some laughs, life lessons, Taylor Swift talk, and a surprise art critique you’ll have to hear to believe.

As always, S’MAC Talk keeps the focus on the heartbeat of Calgary — where sports, music, and community come together.
