Event Details

Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley is best known from his many years as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with The Lowest of the Low. After years of touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, The Jayhawks and Lloyd Cole, a gold record for their “genuinely timeless album” (Exclaim!) Shakespeare My Butt, Stanley now leads his own band, The Stephen Stanley Band and has logged other monumental shows with 54•40, Bob Mould, Cracker, Lee Ann Womak, Jake Clemons and Willie Nile. The band also played at the 2018 Static Roots Festival in Germany and then went on to tour the UK and Ireland. Americana UK described the band's 2018 album Jimmy & The Moon and Stephen's artistry this way: “The songs are big and bold, unafraid, unashamed to flaunt their heritage… Stanley’s voice being not a thing of beauty but a workman’s tool skillfully used to create just the right effect...” Stephen will be joined by longtime collaborator, bandmate, and guitarist, Chris Bennett.  A new record called "Before the Collapse of the Hive" is currently is being prepped for release in the fall of 2023.

Harry and Abby from Uncle Harry and the Kickstands will be our opening guests!

Funds raised from the show will support the ongoing development and outreach of the Fergus Highland Rugby Club
