Event Details

Live in concert, We Unite! Promo & Design presents 'An Evening with Greg MacPherson' at St Patrick's Museum on Sunday June 6. The concert, which will feature MacPherson playing an extended set of songs, is his first with a full band since his remarkable August 2007 performance at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre.

There is a certain authenticity in Greg MacPherson's music. Maybe it's the tremor in his voice, or his carefully crafted lyrics, or his unpretentious stage presence. To compare MacPherson to the likes of Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan would be blasphemy if it weren't for the combination of pure talent and sincerity in MacPherson's songs and performances. The voices of those great singer-songwriters are legendary in their distinctiveness. With his latest full-length album entitled Mr. Invitation (Smallman Records), Greg MacPherson distinguishes himself as one of the most compelling and distinctive voices in Canadian independent rock.

Mr. Invitation marks a newfound assuredness in Greg MacPherson's music, as his intentions have caught up with his aesthetic ambitions. He explains, "I do feel that this is the first time I have a recording that truly speaks with the force and soul of the material as I have always intended. As an artist I've struggled for years to find my voice in the language of recording. I've hit the mark or come close on many occasions, but not until this recording have I felt satisfied that my intentions as an artist have been fully realized by both the process and the results."

Also performing at St Patrick's are indie rock foursome The Roots and Rhythm Remain and songwriter Steve Fifield, with one more act to be announced. Early bird tickets will be available from Friday May 7 to Thursday May 20 (or until supplies last) for $10 at Time Machine Candy Works on Charlotte St (cash only) and http://gregmacpherson.eventbrite.com (credit card).

The following Wednesday, June 9th, the Greg MacPherson Band will be performing at The Upstairs Club. This will be a normal club length set featuring many new songs and select favorites. Accompanying the band on this date will be local rock band And Here We Go and songstress Alicia Penney, with one more band to be announced.
