Stephen Fearing draws sold out crowd for hamlet show
On Nov. 27 the Eden Mills Community Hall was packed with Fearing fans, some who only just recently discovered his masterful musical talents.
It was Stephen Fearing’s fourth performance in Eden Mills and each time he delights with his guitar playing and evocative songwriting.
The consistent quality of his work over his two-decades-plus career has earned him a West Coast Music Award for Best Folk Music Recording, five Juno Awards and seven Juno Award nominations as a solo artist.
“Stephen captivated us with his fresh, original, heartfelt lyrics, stunning guitar playing and engaging story telling,” said Kit Bresnahan, event planner.
The Eden Mills Community Hall is over 100 years old and the concert series is operated by a team of village volunteers. Through their work and eye for detail, they create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The hall holds 120 people in a concert style setting, which enhances a personal connection to the performers.
The next concert will feature Carlos del Junco, who will make a return visit to Eden Mills on Feb. 11. A seven-time “Harmonica Player of the Year” at the Canadian Maple Blues Awards, del Junco is regularly called the best harmonica player on the planet.
The concerts are fund-raisers for the Eden Mills Community Club and Eden Millpond Conservation Association.
