Singer-songwriter Jenina MacGillivray, with her good friends The Burning Hell serving as her backing band, is touring the Maritimes to celebrate the release of her sophomore album Perseids. Rounding out a fantastic double bill is another dear friend, former Halifax poet laureate Tanya Davis.
Born in Cape Breton, raised on Prince Edward Island, and based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Jenina MacGillivray writes songs that are wistful, longing, and intimately familiar, weaving the small places of Atlantic Canada into the broader world. Her debut album Marion won Music NL’s Factor Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and was called “the real deal” (Roots Canada) and “possibly the most beautiful album of the year” (East Magazine).
Tanya Davis is a writer and performer based in rural Epekwitk. She creates for the page, the stage, the stereo, and the screen, and she is PEI’s current Poet Laureate.
