jed and the valentine

Jed and the Valentine is a Canadian musical duo from Edmonton, Alberta, formed by singer-songwriters Jonah Morris and Maria Khaner. They blend soulful harmonies with earthy roots and prairie folk influences, crafting a sound that’s both heartfelt and fresh. Since coming together, their music has won them praise for its gentle guitar work and haunting vocal harmonies, drawing comparisons to bands like The Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men. Their debut album, *Awake!*, released in 2024, marked a major milestone, earning spots on Exclaim! Magazine’s ‘Eh! List’, CBC’s Provincial playlist, and reaching #6 on CKUA’s top 30 chart.

Known for a self-managed approach, Jed and the Valentine have quickly built a passionate fanbase through sold-out shows and festival appearances across Western Canada. Their songs reflect a range of emotions and experiences, often inspired by their home in the Rocky Mountains, which is a recurring theme in tracks like “Rocky Mountain, Carry Me.” With a rapidly growing reputation for soulful storytelling and captivating performances, they’re one of the Canadian folk scene’s most exciting new acts to watch.
