Merle Haggard – “the Poet of the Common Man” – is widely considered one of the most important singer-songwriters in the history of country music. During a career that lasted from the 1960s until his death in 2016, he recorded more than 70 albums and had more than 40 No. 1 singles.
Merle says that “Country music is about those things that we believe in but we can’t see – like dreams, and songs, and souls.”
Lawrence Maxwell is a PEI-born singer-songwriter, a multiple Music PEI award winner, and ECMA-nominee with three studio albums under his belt. He has toured internationally in the UK and Europe and has now developed a show that weaves songs and stories from the turbulent and triumphant life of “The Hag.” From the hits that made Merle famous to the songs that slipped by the wayside, Maxwell brings his band of Fugitives, consisting of: Peter Cann, Thomas Webb, Nick Doneff, Mark Geddes, and Ben Aitken to interpret the music of country music legend, Merle Haggard.
