Stan Rogers is widely recognized as one of the very finest singer-songwriters that Canada has ever produced, and while it has been over forty years since he was tragically taken from us, his music lives on and is being heard around the world. Just over twenty years ago, Stan’s record producer, Paul Mills and his widow Ariel Rogers, were approached by Hugh’s Room about putting together a Stan tribute concert at the club. They put together a group of eight artists who performed a collection of Stan’s wonderful songs. The show was a huge hit with the Hugh’s Room audience to the point where they were asked to make it an annual event.
The Stan tribute show became a tradition and has been presented by Hugh’s Room ever since. After a brief hiatus, Paul and Ariel are delighted to be bringing it to our stage again. The November show features six singers: James Keelaghan, Treasa Levasseur, Bill Craig, Ariel Rogers, Trevor Mills and Beth Rogers. It also features an all-star back-up band which includes Paul Mills (guitar), David Woodhead (bass), Tom Leighton (piano and accordion) and Don Reed (fiddle).
These will be evenings of magic, nostalgia and a resounding celebration of Stan Rogers’ outstanding musical legacy. There will be two performances not to be missed, Friday November 15 at Rosedale Centre.
$45 (plus tax and fees) in advance, $55 (plus tax) at the door
