Join us when doors open at 7PM

Songwriters sharing their songs and stories about the songs being performed. 

The stage is setup with 4 songwriters working in a rotation, with each presenting a song, then moving to the next songwriter, which offers a variety of songs within 2 rounds, followed by a short intermission and then another rotation to complete the concert evening.

Alison Hogan has written songs in just about every genre, and these days she likes to call what she’s doing as “legacy folk” because she’s been writing and performing since she was a teen. We’re delighted to have Alison at Bez for SongStage. https://alisonhogan.com

A force to be reckoned with…” – Catholine Butler, The Celtic Connection

“… a name we will be hearing again.” – John Murphy, Shite ‘N Onions (USA)

“ I Confess delivers a dash of Dublin and a taste of Texas… Paddle Your Own Canoe reels like Dublin’s Temple Bar on a Saturday night… Chessell fares just as well with his originals.” – Mike Usinger, The Georgia Straight
