Support the 2024 United Way Campaigns in Colchester, Cumberland, and Pictou counties while hearing stories and songs from three amazing local musicians.
Don't miss out on this entertaining and meaningful experience.
Dave Gunning
With fourteen albums to his credit, there's no denying Dave Gunning's impressive body of work. The Nova Scotian folk musician has shared the stage with legends like Ron Hynes, Rita MacNeil, Stuart McLean, and Stompin' Tom Connors, and has been recognized in his own right as a master of his craft, both as an award-winning singer-songwriter and a captivating performer.
Known for his abilities as a gracious storyteller, Gunning's knack for connecting with audiences precedes the skills and experience he's earned on the road—It is, for him, very much a way of life.
Despite delivering some very important messages in his songs, audiences should also be prepared to laugh at a Dave Gunning show. His banter is perfectly timed, self-effacing, and very, very funny. It's this finely-tuned balance of sincerity and impeccable performance that makes him one of the country's most engaging entertainers.
Rachel and Darren McMullen
With more than a decade of making records and touring around the world behind them—as members of the award-winning group Còig—Rachel Davis and Darren McMullen now have their sights set on something new—Home.
Recorded with award-winning songwriter, musician, and producer Dave Gunning, Home is Rachel and Darren's long-imagined, and much-anticipated album highlighting the pair's outstanding musicianship and vocals.
Rachel and Darren are well-established and respected instrumentalists in the traditional music world and their playing on this album certainly lives up to that reputation. But over the years, each has also gained recognition for their vocal abilities, most notably with Rachel receiving a 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award in the Traditional Singer of the Year category for Còig's fifth album, Ashlar.
