Canadian indie music legends Chris Brown, Ron Hawkins and Stephen Stanley are teaming up this fall for a run of shows that will find them on stage together for the first time, delving into their vast catalogues in new ways, and sharing stories of their adventures on the road. The trio plays Grand Theatre in Fergus on Oct. 6.

The tour marks a rare reunion of sorts of Lowest Of The Low co-founders Hawkins and Stanley, while Brown’s lengthy resume includes co-founding legendary Toronto soul outfit Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, and his acclaimed folk-rock collaboration with singer/songwriter Kate Fenner.
In a joint statement, the trio says, “These shows are going to give us an opportunity to get up close and personal with audiences, play some songs we might not normally play, and share some stories going back to our bands’ formative years in the early ‘90s, all the way up to the present moment.”
Indeed, any fan of classic CanRock should not miss these shows!

Along with his own work, he has appeared both on stage and in the studio with artists ranging from The Tragically Hip to Barenaked Ladies. Currently based in Wolfe Island, Ontario, Brown operates the label Wolfe Island Records and its recording studio built in the former Wolfe Island post office.
