Live@Studio64, presented by Over Time Beer Works, will be hosting a solo performance by Stephen Fearing at the Centre 64 theatre on Saturday, April 5 at 8 p.m.
Multiple Juno-nominated Canadian roots singer wants to shine a light on life on his one stop in the East Kootenay. Fearing is the kind of performer that can captivate an audience with distinctive and authentic sounds that pushes the boundaries of roots music.
His abiding love for his music and his ability to delight audiences throughout North America, United Kingdom and across Europe have provided extensive recognition.
Multiple JUNO and Canadian Folk Music Awards nominations and in 2017, earned him the award for Worldwide Album of the Year by Blues and Roots Radio. He was also named the 2017 Contemporary Singer of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Fearing’s latest album, "The Empathist" is a 10-track record produced in collaboration with Grammy-nominated drummer Ken Coomer (Wilco and Uncle Tupelo). The album showcases Fearing’s ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with rich and immersive soundscapes.
For this musical nomad, the thrill of the craft will always be the reactions of the audience and leave them feeling better about the world. “Getting on stage is the fun, especially when the adrenaline kicks in” he says. “ It comes down to the energy. It’s trying to capture lightning in bottle”.
In the end, people just want to escape and be taken on a journey. Fearing builds his shows so they do just that.
Tickets are $29 for members and $36 for non-members and are available at centre64.com
