From one of Canada’s great musical storytellers and most acclaimed guitarists, multi-JUNO Award winner Stephen Fearing brings his 16th solo album, The Empathist. Co-produced by Stephen Fearing and GRAMMY-nominated drummer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo). Recorded at Coomer’s East Nashville studio, Cartoon Moon Recording, the album features nine original songs and a cover of Daniel Lanois’ Where Will I Be. With contributions from John Dymond on bass and Nashville legend Jim Hoke on a range of instruments, The Empathist embodies Fearing’s passion for crafting songs that are authentic, exhilarating, and entertaining. Each track draws from the truths he observes in the world, solidifying Fearing’s reputation as a masterful and relatable storyteller.
With special musical guests: Colin Linden, Sue Foley, Dala, and Kelly Prescott. "Fearing’s music crackles with ideas and collaborative energy…masterful guitar work from acoustic rock rhythm to elegant finger style." ~ Acoustic Guitar Magazine
