Dave Gunning and James Keelaghan on stage
Two of Canada’s top singersongwriters at the Harbourfront Theatre
Singer-songwriters Dave Gunning and James Keelaghan will take to Summerside’s Harbourfront Theatre stage for an intimate night of awardwinning music Friday, Jan. 12.
“Harbourfront is proud to welcome two of Canada’s favourite singer-songwriters to the Island for an enriching musical experience this January,” said Kieran Keller, Harbourfront’s executive director
After two decades in the industry, Dave Gunning is still providing audiences with fresh and energetic folk music that covers a wide range of styles, tones, and subject-matter. An eight-time ECMA winner and a two-time Canadian Folk Music Award recipient, Gunning has been heralded as one of the top Canadian musicians in his field.
“Truly, what makes Gunning so remarkable as an entertainer is his rare gift to be able to befriend the audience as a whole from the stage throughout the course of the concert,” said a music reviewer for The Charlottetown Guardian.
Likewise, James Keelaghan delights and inspires audiences with his original music that pushes boundaries and never allows stagnancy. As Keelaghan says: “I want my audiences to know that I am open enough to try new things and push their bounds.” His songs are all part of a musical journey he’s been on with his fans for the past 25 years.
Gunning and Keelaghan come to Harbourfront Theatre as part of the Atlantic Presenters Association (APA) and RADARTS’ Canada 150 Performance Series, supported by the Government of Canada. Tickets are available at the theatre’s box office and online at harbourfronttheatre.com.
