Lunch & Lecture: Shane Pendergast – Sculpted by the Sea: Telling Island Stories Through Song

September 1, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Island Folk Singer-Songwriter Shane Pendergast presents a selection of his sea-related Island folk songs, with a discussion of the history behind the compositions. He will also touch on some of the Island’s early “songmakers” and how their work was preserved.

Shane Pendergast has folk music in his blood. Hailing from a long lineage of storytellers and musicians in Prince Edward Island, he is keeping the Maritime folk tradition alive with his honest and insightful compositions. From the small halls of PEI to acclaimed folk festivals across the world, Shane has cemented himself as one of Atlantic Canada’s finest folk troubadours. His 2021 album ‘Second Wind” won Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music PEI Awards, and his live album “The House Before the Bridge” was nominated for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year at the 2023 ECMA Awards.
