Bringing It Home Series

MUSIC FROM THE HEART

February 13th, 8 pm

      

What better way to celebrate Valentines Day then with four of the most talented
singer-songwriters in the Maritimes!

Steven Bowers: Bowers has thrown himself into being a singer-songwriter the way he once
thought he'd throw himself into being a pilot. "I always think in terms of how short life is, and
music is a way of mirroring what you observe, only you get to soften even the darkest image in
some way with a sweet melody or an uplifting lyric," he says. "It's a secret way of speaking for
people who can't speak for themselves. It feels like you get the better of the bad things in life. I guess I'm an optimistic writer."

Dave Gunning: Since debuting with Lost Tracks in 1997, Dave has proven he can find a song just about anywhere-in childhood memories, local legends, and the everyday lives of those around him - and turn it into something profound, honest and deeply moving. Gunning's musical mind is piled high with song ideas and always able to find the right turn of phrase or melodic-twist that makes a perfect fit.

Lennie Gallant: Recognized by his peers as one of Canada's best performing songwriters. He has
recorded nine albums (seven in English, two in French) which have won him a host of awards and nominations from both the JUNO Awards and East Coast Music Awards. While he says he is much appreciative of the recognition for his work, Gallant feels the best part of being a songwriter is the moment of creation. And other artists obviously believe in Gallant's writing abilities as over 30 artists have recorded his songs internationally, including Jimmy Buffet.

Thom Swift: With his well-travelled guitars, rich and soulful voice, insightful writing and casual wit, Swift warms audiences everywhere he performs. With awards such as New Artist of the Year for the 2008 Canadian Maple Blues Awards, Blues Recording of the Year for the 2008 East Coast Music Awards, Musician of the Year and Blues Artist/Recording of the Year for the 2008 Music Nova Scotia Award plus other awards and nominations, Thom's reputation as a truly talented artist is well known and recognized everywhere.

Lucy Seward, daughter of the physician in charge of a sanatorium near London, is mysteriously anaemic. Doctor Van Helsing, a specialist in obscure diseases, suspects a vampire which, according to legend, is an ugly soul that, grave-bound by day, roams the earth by night, and sustains its earthy life by sucking the blood of approachable victims. Instituting a search, Van Helsing hopes to uncover the identity of the fiend behind Lucy’s condition, much to the scepticism of her father and fiancé’. Meanwhile a mysterious “woman in white” terrorizes London’s children, the lunatic Renfield continuously escapes the confinement of his room, and Lucy’s spirits rise with visits from her new neighbour, the Transylvanian Count, Dracula.
