Events Description

 
with opening act Mike Stack.

Born in Vancouver, B.C., Stephen Fearing spent most of his boyhood and teenage years in Dublin, Ireland. There, he picked up the guitar and traces of the Irish and English musical traditions that have informed his music ever since. Mixing powerful lyrics, creative arrangements and brilliant guitar playing, he has built an international audience for his music, performing at intimate venues and on the concert stages of festivals and theatres across Canada, the US, the UK, and Europe. His 2007 recording, Yellowjacket, won the Juno Award for Solo Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. His latest album, called Vejpoesi, featuring Stephen Fearing & The Sentimentals on one side, and a solo acoustic performance on the other, is a return to his intimate roots-based style. Stephen is also a founding member of the Juno-award-winning group, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, and he records and tours with Andy White.

As a member of Calgary bands The Burners and The Grift, Mike opened shows for Blue Rodeo, Tragically Hip and Jeff Healy. With songs and a voice that consistently drip with lilting guttural emotion, the music of Mike Stack can take you to a craggy Maritime rock with a desperate Irish father or have you kicking up dust in a Texas honky-tonk along with two young Mexican lovers. Inspired by his songwriting heroes and the people he meets along the way in this journey of life, Stack abashedly says, “music, it’s my life, my heart, my soul, my passion.”
