07:00 PM — 09:30 PM

East Coaster Studios in conjunction with Chippewa Secondary School is proud to present the celebrated Nova Scotian singer-songwriter Dave Gunning with special guest, Rose Morrison. All proceeds from this charity event will be used to benefit the music program at Chippewa and make upgrades to the theatre.
With fourteen albums to his credit, Dave Gunning’s remarkable body of work marks him as a true luminary in the Canadian folk music scene. Dave's awards and accolades speak for themselves: ten East Coast Music Awards, two Canadian Folk Music Awards, four Music Nova Scotia Awards, and a Juno Award nomination for his tribute album to the late John Allan Cameron. As one reviewer aptly noted, “Gunning’s ability to blend humour with poignancy makes his performances unforgettable.” Dave will be performing with the incredibly talented Rose Morrison who is a seasoned singer-songwriter and fiddler.

The evening will feature some opening performances organized by the Chippewa music program and will showcase some of the talent coming from the music program!

There will also be a silent auction with several items to bid on with all proceeds going to Chippewa. Silent auction viewing and bidding will be from 6 P.M. to 7 P.M. with show start at 7 P.M.
