SUMMARY:Stephen Fearing – Concert at the Capital Theatre – December 16th
DESCRIPTION: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. \nStephen’s music is a mesmerizing blend of roots\, folk\, and pop.
