Saturday Sessions: Anthea Feaver

Every Saturday starting late June, enjoy performances from a variety of genres by some of your favourite local musicians in Confederation Park from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm! Grab an ice cream set down your shopping bags and let these catchy local tunes take you away.Anthea Feaver is a songwriter passionate about traditional folk music, a teacher with a degree in community arts education, and an old-time fiddle and banjo player. On stage, she is as likely to sing a bittersweet love song as she is to give a quick history lesson, tell a long-winded joke, or break into an upbeat tune. Whether at an intimate house concert or on a festival stage, she draws people together and has them singing along. Her first full-length album “Summer’s Morning” (released September 2024) is “a broad and luxurious array of folk-inspired gems” driven by lush string arrangements, poignant lyricism, and Anthea’s deft fingerpicking (Lock Magazine). Notable past performances include Blue Skies Music Festival, Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, North Carolina Folk Festival, and showcases at Folk Canada and Northeastern Regional Folk Alliance conferences. An emerging voice in the folk community, “Anthea Feaver is one to watch” (Americana UK).
