Jim Cuddy Trio at Harbourfro­nt Sept. 30

-

For over 35 years, Jim Cuddy has written songs that have become indelible in the soundtrack of Canadian lives.

Both as a solo artist and as one of the creative forces in Blue Rodeo, he has received nearly every accolade Canada can bestow upon a musician including 15 Juno Awards, the Order of Canada and, along with bandmates Blue Rodeo, has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, received the Governor General Performing Arts Award and a Star on the Walk of Fame.

And he’s heading to P.E.I. for a concert on Sunday, Sept. 30.

“I’ve always found fascinatio­n in the smallest details of human behavior,” says Cuddy of his songwritin­g. “It has been something that I look at and remember, whether it is the details of an exchange that I witnessed or an exchange that I have. Of course, as you get older there are bigger things that happen in your life that you realize you’ll never totally understand. There never seems to be a loss of things to write about.”

Kieran Keller says it’s a concert not to be missed.

“Jim has a way of writing music that captivates each and every one. It is truly a universal experience,” says Keller, executive director of the Harbourfro­nt Theatre. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. To learn more, visit harbourfro­nttheatre.com or call the box office at 902-888-2500.
