Description
Join Northern Lights Folk Club for their double bill presentation of Ken Stead and Beau Wheeler on Saturday, October 5 at Parkview Community League, 9135 146 Street NW. Doors open at 7:15PM, performance begins at 8:00PM.
Ken Stead has a firm foothold in the Canadian roots community, having graced the grassy stages and sessions of Edmonton Folk Fest, Canmore Folk Fest, and North Country Fair, as well as rowdier venues like Main Stage Big Valley Jamboree, the Calgary Stampede Coke Stage and Wild Mountain Festival. Whether playing solo, or with his band, Ken Stead makes every room feel like home. He is known for silencing a room to a whisper but is capable of starting an uproar. A generous demeanor, a delicate wit, and an empathetic understanding of audiences of all shapes, his performances are as true and honest as the songs themselves.
Beau Wheeler’s music pulls no punches as it shines a light on gender, surviving cancer, and the all too human experience of love in a way that turns the dark and sour stuff of life into something beautiful and hopeful. Beau’s songs remind us that ‘we’ve all been there’ and that no matter how low you are feeling - there’s hope. Pain and joy form equal parts of life’s equation. The essential magic of Beau’s work lies in this unflinching ability to fearlessly open up and bring a room full of strangers together to share and heal from the vulnerabilities that we all feel.
