In the vast tapestry of musical troubadours, Stephen Fearing stands as a singular figure. His vivid, lyrical songs are elevated by his mastery of the guitar and the haunting resonance of his melodic, cobalt voice.

With a career spanning multiple decades and acclaimed albums, Fearing has shared stages and studios with an eclectic assortment of musical legends, including Merle Haggard, Richard Thompson, and Cassandra Wilson. As a co-founder of Canadian roots-rock icons Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Fearing’s genre-busting music consistently captures the messy splendor of the human condition, weaving tales that resonate deeply with listeners. “I’m a storyteller more than a singer/songwriter,” Fearing says, “because I understand that THE STORY is more interesting than my story.”

A multi-JUNO award winner, he has released 14 solo albums, each a testament to his broad talent and creative vision. His album “Every Soul’s a Sailor” (2017) garnered international acclaim, earning him the prestigious Worldwide Album of the Year from Blues & Roots Radio and the Contemporary Singer of the Year title at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.

Fearing’s music transcends boundaries, seamlessly blending roots, folk, and Americana influences to create a mesmerizing sound that has captivated audiences both nationally and internationally. Building his following ‘old school’ through countless performances at intimate venues, concert halls, and festivals, Fearing has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s great musical storytellers. His ability to craft narratives that delve into the depths of human emotion, coupled with his prowess as a guitarist, has solidified his status as a true icon of the Canadian music scene.

Throughout this journey, Fearing has remained true to his roots, constantly pushing the boundaries of his artistry while staying grounded in the storytelling traditions that have defined his music. As he continues to evolve as an artist and storyteller, Stephen Fearing reaffirms his status as one of Canada’s most acclaimed guitarists and musical visionaries, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of contemporary folk music.

Fearing is set to release his 15th studio album, The Empathist, in early 2025.

Luca Fogale’s 2016 debut, Safety, introduced a songwriter with a fine-tuned ear for warm, wool-sweater melodies, richly rendered narratives, and intimate autumnal ambiance, like Jeff Buckley time warped into Bon Iver’s wood cabin. That album pegged Luca as an indie-folk phenom on the rise, with streaming stats well into the seven figures. But with his Juno Nominated 2020 follow-up, Nothing Is Lost, Luca graduated from the proverbial coffeehouse to the concert hall, recasting his private conversations as cinematic set pieces.

“A moving tribute that captures the soulful essence of Gordon Lightfoot’s timeless melodies” – Sidney Folk & Fiddle Festival

The Legacy of Lightfoot was born out of an enduring respect and reverence for the iconic music of Gordon Lightfoot. Take a journey through one of the deepest and most prolific catalogues of songs ever written. Not only was Gordon Lightfoot one of the most skilled songwriters of his generation, but he had the voice and charisma to match. The musicians who have come together to celebrate The Legacy of Lightfoot combine their decades of experience as performers and songwriters to give a meaningful and engaging performance of his enduring catalogue of music. From his days playing the coffee houses in the 1960’s to the mega hits of the 70’s and all the way up to the beautiful music written in his later years, The Legacy of Lightfoot shines a light on the entirety of Gordon’s masterful career.

Following the graceful passing of Gordon Lightfoot in May 2023 musicians Oliver Swain & Dylan Stone collaborated to organize a concert to celebrate Gordon’s life and music. Swain & Stone are two of British Columbia’s greatly accomplished and experienced songwriters and performers. In the course of their storied careers, they have played headlining concerts at Canada’s largest music festivals and between them they share numerous accolades and awards including award wins and nominations at the Juno’s, Western Canadian Music Awards and Canadian Folk Music Awards. It was a natural fit that these two lifelong career folk-music troubadours work together to give Gordon’s music its proper encore. They surrounded themselves with a talented cast of supporting musicians to form The Legacy of Lightfoot and quickly found an overwhelming response to their show.

What started as a humble celebration of Lightfoot’s music has now been elevated to a full touring production that is connecting to large audiences and giving the spirit and legacy of Lightfoot’s music new life and longevity.

“You will go with me everywhere. When I’m dreaming, you still share my lonely nights” – Gordon Lightfoot

Based in Victoria, BC, Jesse Roper is a blues/Americana artist with a penchant for writing modern indie-infused blues music and delivering bombastic live performances buoyed by his virtuosic guitar playing. His innate and impressive musical talent has served him well, giving him the flexibility to play with soul icon Booker T. Jones, rock veteran Colin James, blues belter Beth Hart, and Canadian legend Burton Cummings. The stage is where Roper shines. It has been his home since overcoming crippling stage fright during his early twenties. Fear is a part of Roper’s past that barely seems real today - especially when you see the in-concert image of a six-string soldier, hair matted to his face, tearing up the stage without a hint of second-guessing.

Roper’s last album ‘Horizons’ marked a sonic high point in his career thus far. Working closely with famed JUNO-nominated producer Gus van Go (Metric, The Stills, Whitehorse, Arkells, The Trews, Sam Roberts) on that new collection of songs has pushed Roper into creating some of his best work. “Recording with Gus was on a whole new level.

Roper latest releases are energetic, fresh, soulful and R&B-inspired tracks from a forthcoming LP that harkens the voices of JJ Cale, The Teskey Brothers, Leon Bridges, Ben Harper and others - while maintaining Roper's strong and unique expression in the genre. Jesse is a master at connecting his personal story and experiences to his songwriting - crafting narratives that hit on life's challenges and eccentricities - but that remain upbeat, engaging and wildly entertaining songs.

Adventuresome doesn’t properly describe Roper as an artist because when the guitar-wielding dynamo sets out to accomplish something, there’s no telling where his mind will wander or when his energy will go.

Before Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman, there was Dogfight. This musical put Oscar, Grammy, and Tony-winning duo Pasek & Paul on the map. Based on the 1991 Warner Brothers film, Dogfight is a romantic and heartbreaking theatrical experience that lingers long after the final curtain call.

It’s November 21, 1963. On the eve of their deployment to a growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines head out for one final boys' night full of debauchery, partying, and perhaps a little trouble. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress, he enlists her to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits. Rose, however, rewrites the rules of the game, teaching Eddie the true meaning of love and compassion. (www.mtishows.com/dogfight)
