Sean Panting is a triple threat – songwriter, musician, and actor, from St. Johns. In over 35 years of musicianship, Sean’s work has spanned from sex, drugs and rock & roll to some more unusual left turns into the world of vampires, sea monsters, poisonous sandwiches, and stackable washer-dryer technology. Always a crowd-pleaser, Sean Panting is stepping out of our Broadside studio and onto the Folk Night stage!

Once again, the incredible Daniel Champagne charts a path to St. John’s!  

A gifted songwriter and an astonishing guitarist, Daniel’s concerts are a celebration of fearlessness and possibility, and marked by a true generosity of spirit. It is a rare artist who leaves his guitar on stage for anyone to play after the show while he hangs with the fans but, as he says…

“If I haven’t broken it, you probably won’t!”

Please note, this is a “do not miss” concert in every sense of the word and we’ve capped the venue at a 350 capacity to allow the best possible experience for everyone.

Consider yourself invited!
