The Stirling Festival Theatre is kicking off its 2023 season with some big names.
Canadian country music star, Jason McCoy comes to Stirling on Saturday, April 1. No stranger to country music fans, McCoy is a two-time winner of CCMA Male Vocalist of the Year and a five-time Juno Award nominee. He is also founder of the Road Hammers, a popular country-rock band.
The star of the hugely popular TV show Corner Gas, Brent Butt brings his stand-up comedy to the Stirling Festival Theatre on Thursday April 27 at 8 p.m. Butt has long been considered one of the funniest people in Canada, with a career in stand-up comedy that stretches into five decades, including numerous appearances at major festivals and being voted Best Male Stand-up in Canada by his peers in the profession. It is sure to be an evening full of laughs with one of Canada’s most popular comedians.
Those aren’t the only shows coming to the Stirling Festival Theatre this spring.
On March 4, Across the Pond – The British Invasion comes to town starring Leisa Way and The Lonely Hearts Band. Way has been touring several different tribute acts for years now and she entertained Stirling audiences last year with her Grand Ole Opry Show. In Across the Pond, the band performs hits of The Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Petula Clark, Tom Jones, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Shirley Bassey, The Animals, Dusty Springfield, Adele, Van Morrison, Annie Lennox, Led Zeppelin, Joe Cocker, The Hollies – and more.
Paquette Productions return to SFT with the always popular Buddy Holly Tribute starring the charismatic Zachary Stevenson on Saturday, April 15. This show always brings the house down and is sure to sell out.
What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with local Celtic band, Seventh Town from Prince Edward County on March 17 at 7 p.m. Seventh Town blends traditional Irish, Scottish and Canadian songs and fiddle tunes with fiddle, guitar, double bass and Irish whistles to back up four-part vocal harmonies.
From country to Celtic music to comedy, there is something for everyone this spring at the Stirling Festival Theatre.
