Searching For Abegweit: The Island Songs & Stories of Lennie Gallant

  • Marigold Cultural Centre 605 Prince Street Truro, NS, B2N 1G2 Canada (map)

$35


Woven around the music of the award-winning Island songwriter, this P.E.I. love-letter stars Gallant himself, and presents his folk, roots and pop music, alongside comedic stories, Island legends, and poignant tales in a multimedia format that utilizes film, and visual works from well-known painter Karen Gallant. This dynamic, energetic show is storytelling at its best and includes Acadian and Celtic numbers that will have you dancing in your seat in celebration of Canada's cradle on the waves. The colourful spectacle will offer Lennie Gallant favourites such as 'Peter's Dream' 'Tales of the Phantom Ship' and 'Island Clay' along with new Island-themed songs.

The show stars Lennie Gallant with an amazing supporting band comprised of Sean Kemp (violin), Jeremy Gallant (keyboard and percussion), Jonathan Gallant (backing vocals, drums, percussion and mandolin) and Patricia Richard (bodhran, mandolin, banjo, and vocals). Directed by Jac Gautreau.
