Award-winning singer Mark Stuart performs in the acoustically beautiful surroundings of the Providence Farm chapel on Friday, April 29.
The concert is being held to raise money for the Cowichan Folk Guild as well as Providence Farm itself.
Stuart is often seen touring with his wife singer songwriter Stacey Earle, but this time round he is touring Canada solo.
His show consists of storytelling, flashy guitar chops and original songs delivered with a soulful singing voice, according to CFG publicist Bobbie Blue.
The co-owner of Gearle Records, Stuart has produced many albums, but a busy touring schedule has him continuously traveling throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and the U.K.
The Cowichan Folk Guild is a dynamic organization dedicated to bringing great music to the Cowichan Valley community throughout the year.
