Erin Costelo: Carole King’s Tapestry and We Can Get Over 🎶

February 14, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

In 2022, We Can Get Over celebrates its 10-year anniversary and was highly inspired by the songwriting of Carole King, making it a perfect fit to complete this show. We Can Get Over is a soulful affair that draws from classic singer-songwriter records of the ‘60s and ‘70s to build a warm, intimate atmosphere that harboured songs about those things in life worth fighting for: love, freedom, hope.

Adam Baldwin with Old Man Luedecke 🎶

April 29, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Singer-songwriter Adam Baldwin has been a mainstay of the Atlantic Canada music scene for over a decade. With his sophomore full-length, Concertos & Serenades, Adam Baldwin – born and raised “inside these imaginary lines” that denote Nova Scotia – offers an east coast testimony that challenges the typical tourism marketing gloss. Through eight masterful yarns, the songwriter bears witness and pays tribute to a tradition of desperation: sinners and losers, perpetual failures, and down-and-out phantoms that haunt his home’s coastlines and back roads – without a passing judgement. Some of the tales happened, some didn’t, and most walk a tightrope between truth and fiction.

Adam Baldwin headshot

Starting as a member of rock combo Gloryhound before joining Matt Mays & El Torpedo in 2009, Baldwin’s own music has continued to evolve since his award winning self-titled solo debut EP in 2013. In 2016 Baldwin released his first full length album No Telling When (Precisely Nineteen Eight-Five) featuring the singles “Daylight” and “Anytime”. In 2019 he released the follow up No Rest for the Wicked, including “Salvation” and “Dark Beside the Dawn”.

In March 2020, with in person performances impossible due to COVID-19, Baldwin launched his Cross-Country Chin Up concert series, almost every Friday evening on YouTube. In addition to making this weekly opportunity to connect virtually with fans, he also raised funds for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia, Red Cross Stronger Together Nova Scotia Fund, RCMP Fallen Officer Fund, and the Black Cultural Society for Nova Scotia. The online concert series also produced two digital EPs: Chin Up Sessions (originals) and Songs for the Parlour (covers)

Derek Seguin Unmasked and Uncensored 🎤

January 14, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Back from the ashes of a Covid-19 comedy career, Derek Seguin is back out on tour with a vengeance. He shares his lock-down experience with his family, how he was somehow chosen by the Quebec government to be the spokesperson on how to stay safe and sound during the pandemic (Seems the government didn’t do its research on role-model candidates), and some new adventures he’s been on during and since the (hopefully) end of the pandemic.

And there will probably be some swearing, and a few dirty stories sprinkled in there too. One thing is for certain; Derek is back with a re-invigored enthusiasm and excitement at being back on stage in front of live people. A show not to be missed for anyone who loves stand-up comedy.

*Please be advised this performance contains frequent use of strong language and is intended for mature audiences.

$40 – $60

The audience is the star of the show in DuffleBag Theatre’s hilarious twist on the classic tale of Robin Hood and his merry band!

While the King is away the people of England suffer under the oppressive rule of his tax-happy brother, Prince John.

By stealing from the rich and giving back to the poor, Robin keeps the spirit of justice alive, with the help of a few friends along the way, including Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, and Little John. But what if the Prince and the dreaded Sheriff of Nottingham lay a trap for our hero? With all the humour and fun you’ve come to expect, DuffleBag hits the mark with this on-target tale of derring-do!
