Together Nelson Ending Poverty project presents a fundraising concert with Juno-award winning singer-songwriter Stephen Fearing, Saturday December 16, 7:30pm at the Capitol Theatre in Nelson.

Stephen’s music is a mesmerizing blend of roots, folk, and pop. Co-founder of Canadian roots-rock group Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, he is a beguiling teller of tales, and his masterful guitar work and engaging performance style combine to present an intimate and moving experience.
Through a life of many relocations and countless months on the road performing, Fearing has become a gifted storyteller and true musical nomad with the ability to enthrall audiences of all sizes and attitudes. “Getting on stage is the fun part, especially when the adrenaline kicks in,” he says, with a broad smile. “People want to escape and be taken on a journey. I build my shows so they do just that.”

Stephen is committed to using his music to support community-building projects like
Together Nelson, a community-based initiative launched by Nelson at its Best in the fall of 2020.
Its work is to better understand local poverty in order to create a four-year Community Action Strategy to reduce poverty in Nelson and Area. This initiative has identified tangible, measurable actions that will lift people out of poverty and prevent people from falling into the river of poverty, and is in Year Two of implementation of its Community Action Strategy, in particular focusing economic inclusion.
