Guthro and gang Bruce Guthro Songwriters’ Circle coming to Charlottetown.
Bruce Guthro Songwriters’ Circle, an event jam-packed with Maritime legends and hot new P.E.I. acts, is coming to Charlottetown for a series of shows throughout 2018-2019. The first of four committed shows will be held Saturday, Nov. 3, 8 p.m., at the Delta Prince Edward. That night Guthro’s guests will be Matt Minglewood, Canadian Blues Hall of Fame legend, Heather Rankin, the talented former member of the legendary Rankin Family, and Dylan Menzie, one of P.E.I.’s fastest rising stars. Tickets go on sale at the Eastlink Centre box office, Sept. 5. They may be purchased in person, by calling 902-629-6625 or online at www.easlinkcentrepei. com. For the past 12 years, Guthro has been hosting his conceptualized songwriters’ circle on a quarterly basis to sell-out crowds in Halifax. Artists perform some of their most popular songs while sharing in the heartache, laughter and original stories that brought the songs to life. Guthro will be bringing his circles to P.E.I. for the first time since he started hosting his Gemini Award-winning concept on CBC national television years back. “We have been talking about bringing this to P.E.I. for some time now. I’m so excited to finally get them up and running,” says the award-winning singer-songwriter. He has just finished his farewell shows as lead singer of the Scottish Super Group, Runrig, playing in front of 45,000 people, in Sterling, Scotland. “It’s time to focus on home, to open up the songwriters’ circle concept to different markets around the Maritimes with my well-known musical friends and all the new talent to be discovered.” For more information, contact Trent Birt at 902-394-1298.
