When you see Whitehorse live, it’s more than a concert—it’s a cinematic, slow-burning storm of bluesy riffs, haunting harmonies, and undeniable chemistry. For fans in Kitchener-Waterloo, their return is something of a homecoming. Both Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland have deep roots in Ontario’s music scene, and they’ve graced stages across the region for years—playing everything from intimate club shows to sold-out performances at Centre In The Square.

Whitehorse was born out of two successful solo careers, but what Doucet and McClelland created together is electric. Since forming in 2011, they’ve pushed boundaries—melding gritty rock, noir-folk, and modern blues into a sound that’s all their own. With albums like Leave No Bridge Unburned and Panther in the Dollhouse, they’ve built a catalogue full of tension, romance, rebellion, and atmosphere.

Whether performing with a full band or weaving loops and layered textures as a duo, Whitehorse never fails to captivate. And with a fanbase that’s grown steadily across the country—and especially in places like Kitchener-Waterloo where live music loyalty runs deep—their return to local stages always feels a bit like welcoming family back home.

Their latest musical chapter, I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying, leans into retro twang and heartbreak ballads with theatrical flair, proving once again that Whitehorse refuses to stay in one lane. They continue to explore, evolve, and impress—with every tour stop offering something new.

Kitchener-Waterloo fans know: this is one act you always make time for.

Start Listening:

  • “Devil’s Got a Gun”

Whitehorse is back. And if you’ve seen them in KW before, you know: it’s not just music. It’s a thrill ride.
