Abstract
Drawing on the notion that place is imagined through musical performance and the lens of nostalgia, the author argues that Calgarians imagine their landscape through an idea of what it once was, or is, but cannot be seen. The author investigates gentrification trends in the city and how they affect music consumption, as well as the programming practices of two roots music venues situated in the East Village, a perpetually gentrifying neighbourhood. Relegating roots music to such sites aligns with a tendency to contain nostalgia so it is unthreatening to Calgary’s public image of cosmopolitanism.- The author retains copyright over the work.
