Although born in Victoria BC, Shaela Miller has spent the majority of her life in the windy southern Alberta city of Lethbridge
and has been honing her skill as a songwriter for over ten years. Her
affinity for the classic country greats of the yesteryear gives her an
unparalleled disposition as an original ambassador of a new wave of
country music. When asked to describe her music she replies simply:
"Honky Tonk". But that’s certainly not all it is. Tear in your beer
ballads, dance hall shuffles and dark alt-country craft work are all
part of the package. With a voice that will send shivers up your spine
and a penchant for turning a phrase that will make you relish in its
simple eloquence, Shaela’s musical force is unabated and unrivaled.
Recent career highlights include a TV placement on HBO’s “True Blood,” a
songwriting/production session in Los Angeles with Tim Feehan (Park
Drive Productions), winning the South Country Fair songwriting
competition and continuing to perform steadily while raising two
children. A veteran of the stage, Shaela feels that her current band
best represents the sound she is going for with her music. Guitar in
hand, Shaela is joined by a band of very accomplished musicians.
Currently: Tyler Bird on drums, Paul Holden Spowart on upright bass, and
Ryan "Skinny" Dyck on pedal steel guitar. With a full length release
(Love Is Brave - 2010) and a split album with local cohorts "Treeline”
(Curtains - 2013) Shaela is making her name across western Canada and
parts abroad.

A southern style smokehouse where we smoke everything from brisket to chicken to ribs and seafood. A southern tradition right here in southern Alberta
Description
Serving up Lethbridge’s best and only TRUE smoked barbecued meats, The Smokehouse BBQ and Bar is a true southern style joint. The 750 lbs competition style commercial smoker and multiple wood blend for smoking is just two indicators of how serious we take our art. We also use only the best Alberta raised meats. This is not a place for small appetites, although they do have an arrange of vegetarian, gluten free and kids items. The food is delicious and the prices are modest.
The interior is styled after a contemporary roadhouse and features southern style music all day long from Johnny Cash and Stevie Ray Vaughan to the Rockabilly sounds of Brian Setzer and founding rock artists like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. In addition they have a quaint patio for sipping ice cold brews with all your friends during the summer months and a wood burning fire place inside for the winter months..
Other than huge portions and lots of cold hand selected beer they also offer their specially selected whiskeys, bourbons and wines to suit your every need.
A colorful place with a lot of character…and characters. If all this isn’t enough be sure to check out The Smokehouse’s TV’s for all your sports and PPV needs. Plus check out their stage for live entertainment from time to time. Get on it!!!
How does our barbecue get so tasty????
We start by rubbing all of our meats with our homemade spice rub. Then after letting it marinade for 24 hours we cook it slow and low using a blend of real wood smoke. This is the secret that makes our chicken, ribs, organic brisket and pork shoulder fall apart in your mouth and so tasty.
Remember that true wood smoking will turn meat pink, even chicken, but will be fully cooked because of the long cooking time in the smoker. You can try our meat dry, no sauce, or wet with any of our unique, homemade barbecue sauces.
Music is a huge part of a Southern BBQ experience so check back from time to time for live entertainment.
Enjoy our southern tradition.
