If you have never heard or listened to Stephen Fearing before, then you should immediately add this experience to your bucket list of things to do before you die!
He is without doubt one of the finest singer songwriters on the planet, producing a string of brilliant songs on the widest variety of subjects that he manages to get to sound different from each other, yet all has the Fearing spirit of truth running through them.

As well as a brilliant guitarist (his captivating voice speaks for itself) he writes all of his own material and is quite outstanding in solo performance. He is also well known for his work in the ground-breaking Americana trio; Blackie & the Rodeo Kings that have seen huge success in Canada and the States, as well as touring the world, over the last six years.

Fearing has released ten albums as a solo artist, featuring musical guests including: Bruce Cockburn, Margo Timmons, Rose Cousins, Richard Thompson, Shawn Colvin, and Sarah McLachlan. When not working behind the microphone, he spends time producing records including Suzie Vinnick’s JUNO Award-nominated album Happy Here. “I really enjoy collaborating with other artists. It’s a blast and, as a bonus, gives me a chance to learn and expand my skill set.”

“Fearing’s music crackles with ideas and collaborative energy…masterful guitar work from acoustic rock rhythm to elegant finger style.” Acoustic Guitar Magazine

“…a king amongst minstrels.” Halifax Chronicle Herald (Canada)
