Souris Show Hall presents

Fiddlers’ Sons – Thursday May 15th @7:30PM Tickets $25
Eddy Quinn, John Webster and Keelin Wedge perform together in the award winning folk music group Fiddlers’ Sons.

They are well known across PEI for their blend of traditional Maritime music and their own contemporary compositions about Island life.

Silver Wolf Band – Saturday May 24th @7:30PM Tickets $20
Silver Wolf Band is a four-piece Indigenous folk-rock band from Labrador. Lively, engaging, and self-assured performances of honest and sincere lyrical music is what makes Silver Wolf Band one of the most in-demand music groups from Labrador. Their music is piano driven and rich in harmony. Lyrically, their songs are shaped and informed by family, community, love, and their homeland itself.

Dusted and Kim Barlow – Saturday May 31st @7:30PM Tickets $20
Brian Borcherdt embarked on an entirely new path in 2012 with the release of his debut Dusted album, Total Dust, on Polyvinyl. The transition between these two projects was described as the comedown to the wild night before. Dusted’s surprise hit, Property Lines, led to further soundtrack work as well as frequent collaborations with the late director Jean-Marc Vallee.
Kim Barlow is an enduring presence in the Canadian indie-folk scene, who launched her acclaimed first album Humminah in Whitehorse in the last century. Recently returned to Nova Scotia, Barlow continues to be a creative and eccentric songwriter, skillful on guitar and clawhammer banjo, with several projects underway at all times.

What is Spud Fest?

Spud Fest is a shoestring, DIY, backyard music festival, established in the summer of 2020. This summer will mark Spud Fest’s sixth year! It’s nothing fancy, but it has a ton of heart. The festival is built on a celebration of inclusivity and creativity, and aims to bring together community members of all ages and backgrounds to appreciate art and music.

Just as there are many varieties of potato, Spud aims to program a wide range of music genres that’ll keep the mashes boogying all day and night long. Spud Fest is a completely non-profit event, with all proceeds besides those required for operation costs to be donated to charity.

Proceeds from Spud Fest VI will be donated to Harbourview Training Center – a non-profit organization located in Souris, Prince Edward Island, which provides on site employment and job training as well as a broad range of support services to clients with intellectual disabilities.
