Event Description
Double bill with Steve Dawson with Fats Kaplin + Aleksi Campagne!
Juno Award-winning guitarist, producer and songwriter Steve Dawson makes a quick swing through the west coast with legendary sideman Fats Kaplin in tow from Nashville. Steve’s original songs and fiery slide guitar playing are the focus, along with the duo's unique take on blues, Hawaiian, and ragtime music that both musicians love to play. Fats has toured with artists like Jack White, John Prine, Mitski, Beck, Tom Russell, The Dead Reckoners and Buddy Miller to name just a few. His talents on the fiddle, mandolin, banjo, oud, accordion, and whatever he can lay his hands on, makes him one of the most in-demand side-players in modern music.
Winner of the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for French Songwriter of the Year for his debut release ‘For the Giving’ a double bilingual album, Aleksi Campagne is uniquely qualified to offer a contemporary, indie-folk take on the time-honoured fiddle-singing tradition. Aleksi had also graced the lineups of some of Canada’ most beloved folk festivals - including the Mariposa Folk Festival, the Regina Folk Festival and the Northern Lights Festival, among others.
