Terra Spencer & Kim Dunn
- Folk, Roots, Singer-Songwriter
An off-the-cuff invitation in a Charlottetown hotel bar, a shared circle in a Canso rink, and a mutual love for questionable jokes…award-winning performers and songwriters Kim Dunn and Terra Spencer are taking their Backroads tour to the mainstage! Following an adventurous run of experimental backwoods shows in churches, homes, and festivals, they are bringing their newfound chemistry and crackling banter to listening rooms and theatres.
Ask his fellow musicians and fortunate audiences, and both will tell you that Kim Dunn’s talent is as enviable as it is undeniable. As one of the East Coast’s most respected accompanists and arrangers, he has toured internationally for over thirty years with Rita MacNeil, Laura Smith, Heather Rankin, Bruce Guthro and many others. In the spotlight, he delivers his own well-crafted, heartfelt songs anchored by a soulful pitch-perfect tenor delivery, incomparable musicianship, and sly charm.
Terra Spencer has quickly secured a spot in the Maritime songwriting ranks, with four albums released since 2018. Making the unusual leap from life as a small-town funeral director to one of the busiest musicians on the folk circuit, she has kept company with the likes of Ben Caplan, Matt Andersen, and David Francey, who recruited her for his 2024 Juno-winning album ‘The Breath Between’. Butterscotch vocals, deft guitar, piano chops, and her quick wit led to Ron Sexsmith naming her “the real deal”.
Join Kim and Terra for a celebration of new friendships, old souls, favourite songs, and kindred spirits!
