About this Event

Stage East and Festival by the Marsh present Maritime Songbirds, a musical tribute celebrating over a dozen extraordinary female singers and/or songwriters from Canada’s Maritime provinces.

Five female singer/musicians, including New Brunswick’s Queen of the Blues, Theresa Malenfant, perform over twenty songs made famous by women from Canada’s East Coast, including Sarah McLachlan, Carroll Baker, Anne Murray, Shirley Eikhard, Rita MacNeil, Holly Cole, Patsy Gallant, and Theresa herself. Joining Theresa on stage are Jennie Del Motte, Mirren Lithwick, Heather MacIntyre and Carley Varner-Joudrey, who have all appeared in other tribute shows from Stage East.

Best-selling author, Charlie Rhindress, will host the performance, sharing stories about these legendary east coast women and reading from his book, Nova Scotia’s Stars of Song, which profiles many of the featured artists. Rhindress has worked with a number of the women showcased and will share stories from his time spent with them.

Maritime Songbirds includes songs like “Working Man,” “Angel,” “Something to Talk About,” “One Drink is One Too Many,” and “You Needed Me,” and covers musical genres from country and rock to folk, opera and Celtic.

The show is general seating.

Please Note: This show was formerly known as "Sirens of Song."
