The Stan Rogers Folk Festival (Stanfest) is pleased to announce that much-loved Canadian artist Jim Cuddy will perform in Canso, Nova Scotia on Friday, July 26.

Both as a solo artist and as one of the creative forces in Blue Rodeo, Jim Cuddy has received nearly every accolade Canada can bestow upon a musician, including 15 JUNO Awards, The Order of Canada and, along with band mates Blue Rodeo, has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, received the Governor General Performing Arts Award and a Star on the Walk of Fame. Cuddy has written many of the songs that have become indelible in the soundtrack of Canadian lives. With the release of his fifth solo album, Countrywide Soul, he continues to contribute to that extraordinary songbook and on this record, Cuddy continues to find new ways to balance personal reflection and plainspoken storytelling, remaining both intimate and accessible.

“We pride ourselves on being Canada’s Songwriter Festival and Jim’s catalog of songs, both solo and with Blue Rodeo, stand out from the pack. He is one of our most frequently requested artists and we are excited to welcome him back,” says festival producer Troy Greencorn.

The 27th edition of Stanfest officially begins on Thursday, July 25 with a kick-off concert (to be announced soon) and runs until Sunday, July 28. Paying tribute to Stan Rogers’ legacy by celebrating songwriters, the festival continues to offer an eclectic mix of musical genres, and styles.

Paying it forward, I am co-producing this year’s festival with Steve MacIntyre, who has joined our team as Artistic Director. This is an exciting step, allowing us to steer the festival in some exciting new directions. Steve has programmed an incredible festival, balanced on many levels.
