On Saturday, June 27, Spruce Meadows will host a truly special evening as acclaimed singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez takes the stage in the intimate setting of the Equi-Plex. This is not a stop on his current world tour — it is a rare, one-of performance created exclusively for Spruce Meadows. With attendance limited to just 2,000 guests, this 18+ event offers an up-close and personal concert experience that few audiences will have the opportunity to witness.
Stephen Sanchez enters 2026 in a defining new era with the release of his sophomore album, Love, Love, Love. Following the Gold-selling success of his 2023 concept album Angel Face, which introduced the cinematic persona of “The Troubadour Sanchez,” this new record marks a shift toward something more direct and personal. Where Angel Face embraced swooning, reverb-soaked 50s and 60s stylings and a tragic narrative arc, Love, Love, Love strips away character and artifice. Across eleven vibrant, technicolour pop tracks, Sanchez delivers an unfiltered and organic reflection on love, loss, and the choice to remain open-hearted in a complicated world. The album retains the classic influences that shaped him while confidently stepping into a vivid, modern sound. At its core, the record carries a simple but powerful message: love is a choice — and one capable of transforming lives.
At just 23 years old, Sanchez has already experienced a remarkable rise. His four-times platinum single “Until I Found You” became a global anthem in 2022, earning cross-generational acclaim and leading to unforgettable milestones — including a guest performance with Elton John during his farewell Glastonbury appearance before 120,000 fans. He has shared the stage with Lana Del Rey, received praise from Paul McCartney, and earned admiration from music legends across genres. Born in El Dorado Hills, California, Sanchez’s love of music was shaped early by church performances and the classic vinyl collection of his grandfather — Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, The Platters and more. A viral TikTok cover at age 17 led him to Nashville, where his career accelerated rapidly.
Among the highlights of Love, Love, Love is his latest single, “Sweet Love.” Written while on tour in Australia, the track began as a manifestation — a hopeful vision of the kind of love Sanchez longed to experience and embody. Bright, heartfelt, and deeply sincere, it captures the emotional clarity that defines this new phase of his artistry. While Sanchez is currently performing for audiences around the world, his June 27 appearance at Spruce Meadows stands apart — an exclusive opportunity to experience his evolving sound in an intentionally intimate setting.
The Spruce Meadows Equi-Plex provides the perfect backdrop for an artist whose music thrives on connection. With a maximum capacity of 2,000 guests, the venue offers a rare closeness between performer and audience — where soaring falsetto, rich baritone warmth, and cinematic arrangements can be experienced in their fullest detail. As an 18+ event, the evening is curated for a refined and immersive atmosphere — ideal for a summer night out, a memorable date evening, or a shared experience among friends.
