THE award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, Stephen Fearing, will promote his new album "Every Soul's a Sailor" with a gig in Worcestershire.

Stephen's tour will bring him to Elmslie House, Great Malvern on

Sunday, February 19.

A spokesman said: "For multiple JUNO Award winner Stephen Fearing, a cross-country relocation from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Victoria, British Columbia kicked off a period of reflection that inspired the songs which became Every Soul’s a Sailor, his ninth solo record.

"While they span a range of musical styles from folk to pop to boot-stomping roots, the tracks share a common focus – the value of The Journey; the various paths we take in love, life, and even after-love, and the after-life."

Stephen said: "I have travelled consistently between the two poles of solo and ensemble work. With this album I wanted to see if I could bring those two worlds together in the studio and then out on the road."

Stephen Fearing is a founding member of the Canadian super-group Blackie and The Rodeo Kings. Over the course of his celebrated career he has collaborated with a long list of artists including: Nick Lowe, Shawn Colvin, Richard Thompson, Pam Tillis, Bruce Cockburn, Sarah McLachlan, Tom Wilson, Colin Linden and Margo Timmins.
