An off-the-cuff invitation in a Charlottetown hotel bar, a shared stage in a Canso rink, and a mutual love for questionable jokes…award-winning performers Kim Dunn and Terra Spencer paired up for a run of intimate shows off the beaten path in early 2025. Following the rave reception from that tour and the easy friendship that quickly grew, they are bringing the Backroads to the main stage.

Ask his fellow musicians and fortunate audiences, and both will tell you that Kim Dunn’s talent is as enviable as it is undeniable. As one of the East Coast’s most respected accompanists and arrangers, he has toured internationally for over thirty years with Rita MacNeil, Laura Smith, Heather Rankin, Bruce Guthro and many others. In the spotlight, he delivers his own well-crafted, heartfelt songs anchored by a soulful pitch-perfect tenor delivery, incomparable musicianship, and sly charm.

Currently nominated for Music Nova Scotia Entertainer of the Year, Terra Spencer has quickly secured a spot in the Maritime songwriting ranks, with four albums released since 2018. Making the unusual leap from life as a small-town funeral director to one of the busiest musicians on the folk circuit, she has kept company with the likes of Ben Caplan, Matt Andersen, and David Francey, who recruited her for his 2024 Juno-winning album ‘The Breath Between’. Butterscotch vocals, deft guitar, piano chops, and her quick wit led to Ron Sexsmith naming her “the real deal”.

Join Kim and Terra for a celebration of new friendships, old souls, favourite songs, and irrepressible laughs.

Join us at Church Brewing Co. for a night of great music and Neil Young tribute songs with The Olympic Symphonium and special guests including Terra Spencer, Freya Milliken, Jeff Hennessy, Kim Barlow and more! ** We are sorry to announce that Kim Beggs will not be able to perform.

Since late 2006, The Olympic Symphonium has crafted a full, lush sound that is entirely their own. A sound that features emotional musical flourishes, soaring harmonies that float in and out, and dramatic lyrical content. It is the sound of a strange and beautiful tension. They have been performing this Neil Young tribute for a while now and are rock solid interpreters of his songs.

Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, hairy dogs, questionable tattoos…all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer. And the songs are good ones, judging from the stack of awards her four albums have received, and from the caliber of her collaborators, which include David Francey, Ben Caplan, and Matt Andersen. Although her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician, it’s her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation. In 2026, Terra won Canadian Folk Music Award English Songwriter of the Year.

Two master storytellers share one intimate night at New Moon Folk Club as Terra Spencer and Ken Stead bring their songs under the same roof. Terra's butterscotch vocals, wry Maritime humour, and cinematic folk songs feel like leafing through a box of old letters, full of small details and big emotions. Ken's warm, roots‑folk anthems turn any room into a living room singalong, blending charged lyricism, lived experience, and easy banter with the crowd. Together they offer an evening of harmony, heart, and unforgettable stories—two full concerts, one cozy New Moon stage.
