Stephen Fearing and The Sentimentals

Event information

Our favourite Canadian singer songwriter back at Hepworth again with Danish backing group The Sentimentals. 
​
Revered Canadian songwriter Stephen Fearing and award-winning Scandinavian indie-folk band The Sentimentals share a deep passion for crafting beautiful melodies and dynamic musical interplay that transfixes audiences.  United by a shared admiration for classic Tin Pan Alley songwriting, deeply emotive lyrics and a flair for innovation, their collaboration produces a style that is both authentic and distinctly original.
Since joining forces in 2018, Fearing and The Sentimentals have lit up stages across Europe and Canada with annual performances that leave a lasting impression. Their chemistry comes to life on Fearing’s 2022 album Vejpoesi (Danish for "Road Poems"), where The Sentimentals’ graceful accompaniment interlaces seamlessly with Fearing’s haunting lyrics and melodies. Recorded over three days in Maskinhallen, a theater in Frederikshavn, Denmark, the sessions highlight The Sentimentals’ rare ability to reinterpret and revitalize Fearing’s seasoned material—delivering a sound that is both transformative and fresh.
Following a successful Spring tour of Candada, this  Autumn they are touring the UK to promote Stephen's excellent new album The Empathist.
