One of the biggest food reviewers in the Great White North, Ty Bridgwater has been repping the festivities on 4th Street for a hot minute. 

Not only did he hype up our Feast on 4th in Spring this year for the “Bunch of amazing food’ he had from local businesses; but Ty returned to 4th Street for a cavalcade of snacks at this year’s Lilac Festival, where he stopped by competitors Bodega Tapas Bar by SABOR and Blowers & Grafton (he also made a baby cry, but you can’t win ‘em all).

Speaking to Net Influencer about the beginning of his content creation career, Ty said; “It all started for fun; there was no greater motive, financial or else, but when you go through life doing what you enjoy, and you’re good at it, great things come your way.”

Known for his sarcastic tone and brutally honest reviews, Ty has garnered more than 1.2 million TikTok followers, 83.8 million likes across his TikTok videos, and  53,000 Instagram followers.

How will the “one bite, keep it healthy” approach work on 4th Street this Pancake Showdown? Only time will tell…

Following last year’s 10-night stint on Calgary Stampede’s renowned Grandstand stage, country party princess Michaela Sheedy will be gracing 4th Street as a special guest judge on the 14th annual Pancake Showdown!

You may have seen Michaela belting the national anthem in the Scotia Bank Saddledome for the Calgary Flames, or maybe you saw her performances across Country Thunder, Calgary Stampede’s Coca-Cola Stage and Nashville North Stage, Big Valley Jamboree,  Cowboy’s Nightclub or the legendary Ranchman’s.

Michela has graced some of the most esteemed stages in Alberta including performances at the legendary Ranchman’s, Cowboy’s Nightclub, Big Valley Jamboree, Country Thunder in Calgary and Florida as well as the Coca-Cola Stage and Nashville North Stage at the Calgary Stampede. 

Off the back of her debut single I Make Bad Look Good in 2018, Michaela’s career has earned four nominations for Country Music Alberta’s Horizon Female Artist of the Year, one nomination for Interactive Artist of the Year, and two top-twelve placements in the Alberta’s esteemed artist development program, Project WILD. Oh, and she’s shared stages with legends including Keith Urban, Dallas Smith, Dean Brody, Aaron Goodvin and Lonestar. 

Let’s see which 4 Street Pancake will hit the right notes for one of Calgary’s most stunning musicians…
