STEPHEN FEARING & THE SENTIMENTALS TOURING IN SUPPORT OF THE EMPATHIST

Born in Vancouver and raised in both Dublin and back in British Columbia, Stephen Fearing has been named one of Canada’s finest singer-songwriters. In the vast tapestry of musical troubadours, Fearing stands as a singular figure. Revered for his vivid, lyrical songwriting, masterful guitar work, and a voice described as melodic and cobalt. He has released critically acclaimed albums, earned two JUNO Awards, and collaborated with legends of modern roots music. As co-founder of the Canadian roots-rock giants Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Fearing has built a legacy of genre-busting music that captures the human condition in all its messy splendour. His latest project, The Empathist, was co-produced by Grammy-nominated drummer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) at his East Nashville studio. Recorded over a whirlwind week, The Empathist features contributions from longtime Blackie & The Rodeo Kings bassist John Dymond and Nashville multi-instrumentalist Jim Hoke, whose mastery of pedal steel, piano, and saxophone adds depth and texture to the album. The album showcases Fearing’s ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with rich, immersive soundscapes. Recorded in Nashville over a whirlwind week, The Empathist features contributions from longtime Blackie & The Rodeo Kings bassist John Dymond and Nashville multi-instrumentalist Jim Hoke, whose mastery of pedal steel, piano, and saxophone adds depth and texture to the album. Following the release of The Empathist, Fearing hit the road with his longtime collaborators, the award-winning Danish indie-folk band The Sentimentals. Their dynamic partnership, which began in 2018, has lit up stages across Europe and Canada, bringing a unique fusion of classic Tin Pan Alley songwriting and innovative folk elements to life. Their collaboration was first celebrated on Fearing's 2022 album Vejpoesi (Danish for "Road Poems"), recorded over three days in Denmark’s Maskinhallen theater. Fearing and The Sentimentals have developed a distinctive sound, blending tradition and experimentation into performances that captivate audiences night after night. As Stephen Fearing and The Sentimentals tour The Empathist, fans can expect an emotionally charged live experience highlighting the creative risks and bold musical interplay that have defined Fearing’s career. With each performance, they continue to push the boundaries of roots music, weaving together authenticity and innovation in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.
