Kevin Fox with Special Guest David Simard October 27th at the Acoustic Stage in Morrisburg! If you have come in contact with Canadian music at all over the last number of years, chances are you have either seen or heard the work of Halifax native Kevin Fox.
Kevin's abilities as an instrumentalist, singer, composer/arranger, performer and songwriter have seen him working with numerous artists in a variety of capacities throughout the years. He has composed arrangements for the likes of Justin Bieber and Kathleen Edwards, he has recorded with artists as diverse as Raine Maida and Celine Dion, and he has toured extensively with musicians ranging from Chantal Kreviazuk and Steven Page to Tom Cochrane and Olivia Newton-John.
His work has been featured on American television programming such as Baywatch Hawaii and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and has received radio airplay across Canada and the United States. As a solo performer, Kevin’s 2004 debut release ‘Come Alive’ was followed in 2008 by the stunning ‘Songs for Cello and Voice’ and then in 2011 by ‘Set Right’.
Kevin combines his signature instrument, the cello, which he skillfully bows, plucks, taps and loops, with his charismatic voice, to create a unique and captivating musical tapestry of cello-driven folk/pop. As NOW magazine wrote of his solo performances: ‘Hot ticket – a must see show!’ Visit Kevin's website here.
Opening for Kevin Fox will be David Simard, an equally eclectic performer who has graced the St. Lawrence Stage in our emerging artist series. Born in the Northern British Columbia, David has recently returned to BC after spending time in a small rainforest in Saint-Henri, Montréal.
Described as an avant-garde folk singer, David has been getting some due attention - his name appeared on the Montréal Mirror's list for “Best Country/Folk Act 2009" and, more recently, "Best Singer/Songwriter 2010".
Tickets are $18 in advance or $20 at the door (all tickets general admission). Tickets at Basket Case, Morrisburg; Strung Out Guitars, Cornwall and Compact Music, Ottawa or online.
