Festival by
the Marsh is
an integrated arts festival featuring high
quality theatre and music performances,
fine arts displays
and demonstrations, other forms of artistic expression, and
educational programmes for young people.
Stan Rogers’ Songs to be Performed
by His Son, Nathan
Festival by Marsh will be presenting, in collaboration
with the Tantramar Heritage Trust, “Nathan Sings Stan - The
Rogers Legacy Continues”, on Saturday, November 12 at 8 p.m. at
George’s Roadhouse in Sackville, New Brunswick. This concert will be a once
in a lifetime opportunity to see Stan Rogers’ songs performed
by his very talented son, Nathan. The Sackville performance is the
only New Brunswick performance scheduled on his Canadian tour, and
George’s Roadhouse is the perfect venue for Roger’' timeless heartfelt
folk music.
Nathan’s record label, Borealis Records, says, “Nathan
Rogers has managed to carve out his own cutting edge niche in today’s
music world while at the same time keeping a foot planted in the
tradition so well defined by his father Stan. Nathan will ‘move
men and women to tears’ with his sound and conviction. Along
with his own original material Nathan has always found room during
his performances to include one or two of his father’s songs.
From these performances sprung the idea to do a one-time tour performing
Stan’s repertoire. As a result this fall will see Nathan begin
a cross Canada tour “Nathan Sings Stan - The Rogers Legacy Continues.”
There is no one better who can bring this music to audiences with new life
and voice than Stan’s son Nathan.”
“We’re very pleased to have Nathan and his band so close
to Remembrance Day”, said Festival Artistic Producer Ron Kelly
Spurles. “This concert, in memory of his father, will surely
be a moving and memorable event”.
Tickets of the concert are $18 in advance
and $20 at the door, and are available at Tidewater Books in Sackville – although
patrons are encouraged to purchase early for this sure to be popular
concert. The concert is sponsored by Coastal Inn, Sackville, and
George's Roadhouse. For more details, please visit festivalbythemarsh.ca
