About the concert

A beguiling teller of tales and master guitarist, Stephen Fearing presents an afternoon of music and stories that reflect his love of Canada’s East Coast. The multi-Juno award winner and co-founder of Blackie and The Rodeo Kings lived in Halifax for almost a decade, and both his life and music were impacted dramatically by his time in Nova Scotia. Stephen will share with the audience his deep connection to the area’s rich history and celebrated artistic community.

This concert is part of the East Coast Songwriter Series.
