For at least the next six months, Edmonton's folk and roots music scene will have a powerful new addition playing its venues. Steven Bowers, a singer, songwriter and award-winning producer, has transported himself from Nova Scotia, where he made five critically acclaimed recordings.

A two-time ECMA nominee (pop and folk categories) and two-time Producer of the Year recipient from MusicNS, Bowers is a captivating performer with a powerful, versatile voice. He has garnered a strong following throughout Atlantic Canada and is quickly gaining popularity across Canada and beyond.

Steven has been a featured performer at events such as Junofest, Canadian Music Week,  Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Atlantic Film Festival, MusicNS Bringin’ It Home Tours, ECMA Songwriter Circle and the Songwriter Association of Canada's "Bluebird North," among others.

He will be performing his first local show since relocating at the venerable Haven Social Club on Feb. 10, 2012. Doors open at 8:00 p.m., showtime at 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

It's his second concert at the Haven, having played the venue in 2010 during a cross-Canada tour. The opening act — ME! — although an unlikely pairing, marks our five-year friendship.
