IAN SHERWOOD AND TIM CHAISSON AND MORNING FOLD TO HEADLINE EMERGING ARTISTS: ‘UNEARTHED’ SHOWS AT THE AL WHITTLE THEATRE, WOLFVILLE
For Immediate Release: (Wolfville, NS – August 9th, 2010)
Deep Roots Music Cooperative is pleased to announce that Ian Sherwood and Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold will each headline one of the two Emerging Artists: UNEARTHED shows at the Al Whittle Theatre on 28th August and 10th September.
Following a showcase of young talent at Festival Theatre, Wolfville on 31st July the judges selected four Emerging Artists: ‘UNEARTHED’ to perform a date at the Al Whittle Theatre and then be part of this year’s Deep Roots Music Festival (24th – 26th September). They are Julie Aube from Dieppe, NB; Jesse Potter from Canning, NS; The Trips from Mahone Bay, NS and Elizabeth Furniss from Berwick, NS.
The Deep Roots Music Coop is thrilled that Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold from Prince Edward Island agreed to be the headliner for the show on 28th August. With three solo albums under his belt and now the release of the musical gem Broken Hearted Beat, Chaisson has more than 17 industry awards or nominations and currently has no less than five P.E.I. Music Awards nominations for Songwriter of the Year, Group of the Year, Recording of the Year, Pop Recording of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, and an East Coast Music Award nomination for Best Pop Recording. While much of the album is spawned from his own seeds of creativity as primary songwriter, Chaisson notes that renowned musicians Joel Plaskett and Gordie Johnson were crucial in realizing Broken Hearted Beat’s wide scope and boldness. Opening for Tim will be Elizabeth Furniss and Jesse Potter.
On the 10th September award winning songwriter, Ian Sherwood will take to the stage. Ian is no stranger to Deep Roots and appeared at the 2008 and 2009 Festivals. His energetic stage show and honest presentation have quickly gained him recognition as a solid performer, lyricist and player and garnered him Music Nova Scotia's 2008 Musician of the Year award. With the release of his 2007 sophomore album Art of Conversation, Ian was nominated for two 2008 East Coast Music Association Awards (Pop Album of the Year, CBC Galaxie Rising Star Album of the Year). His first album Ian Sherwood, earned Ian nominations for Music Nova Scotia's Pop/Rock Recording of the Year, Toronto Independent Music Awards Best out of Area Act, and was named Featured Album of the Week by CBC's Radio One's Freestyle. Opening for Ian will be The Trips and Julie Aube.
Shows will start at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:30pm. Admission for both shows is by freewill donation which will support future Emerging Artists: UNEARTHED programming. For more information call the Deep Roots Music Coop office on 902 542 7668.
