STREET PARTY PERFORMANCE

Hockey player-turned-country artist set to play at Chilliwack Mural Festival

CHILLIWACK — A former hockey player is skating by Chilliwack with a guitar and a dream this weekend for the Mural Festival Street Party.

Mark Ledlin had been playing professionally on German ice for 10 years when he finally made the full pivot towards a country music career in 2024.

He’ll be hitting the Sasquatch Stage with an ice-breaking new single titled, “Jealous of Jesus.”

“The song walks a bit of a line in regard to being jealous of something so many believe in, but it’s really not religion at all,” Ledlin said.

“[I]’ve been through the situation of someone being so invested in something that it’s hard for them to see any other view but theirs.”
