1. Catherine MacLellan,
Monday January 27th, 8pm,
Mel Lehan Hall at St. James (3214 West 10th Avenue)
It's a little hard to believe that this will be Catherine MacLellan's first Rogue show. She has long been a favourite singer of mine, with her crystal-clear voice and evocative lyrics leaving a profound impression whenever I hear her sing. She will be joined by guitarist Tim Leacock for this special concert on Monday evening.
Catherine has been captivating audiences around the world with her music for over two decades. Born and raised in the idyllic province of Prince Edward Island, Catherine's songs reflect her deep connection to the land and the people that call it home. Her passion for songwriting runs in the family; her father, Gene MacLellan, wrote beloved hits like "Snowbird" and "Put Your Hand in the Hand."
While Catherine's music is rooted in folk and roots, her sound has evolved to embrace a wider range of influences over the course of her 7 albums. From heart-wrenching ballads to uplifting anthems, her music has a universal appeal that speaks to the struggles, triumphs, and joys of life.
In addition to her musical pursuits, Catherine has also dedicated herself to shining a light on her father's legacy, producing an award-winning documentary and stage show that explore his life and struggles with mental health.
Through it all, Catherine remains committed to the craft of songwriting and the art of connection. Whether she's playing to a packed theatre or an intimate gathering, Catherine's warm presence and heartfelt music create an unforgettable experience for all who hear her.
Her most recent album is 2019's Coyote. She will be bringing some new songs and some old favourites to the Rogue. We hope you will join us in welcoming this exceptional Canadian songwriter to our stage. If you can't possibly make it to the show, please consider purchasing a Watch At Home ticket, which will enable you to watch the concert whenever you like.
COYOTE Review:
“So many folks turn to therapy when a long relationship falls apart. They could save themselves a fortune and buy a copy of this album instead; there’s compassion, understanding and wisdom here.” — Folk Radio UK
