​Three storytelling songwriters sharing stories, songs and accompanying each other.

​

Matt Patershuk

​

Matt has always been a great singer and songwriter, gifted with a warm voice and natural musical intuition. He never over thinks a lyric or pushes a melody. When he sings it, a line such as ‘if you love me, why do you wantto make me cry?,’ takes on a gravitas and authenticity that would completely elude another artist. Whether he’s singing about a loyal dog departing, an unrequited love, or the miles disappearing under the wheels of a fast car on a good road, Patershuk’s songs glide along as naturally as the situations he describes.

Ben Sures

Ben Sures is a guitar player who tells great stories in song. A natural performer with an instinct for humour and storytelling. Ben Sures writes songs about everything from imaginary rayguns to sandwiches prepared for him by his father when he was a child visiting on weekends. Sures is immersed in the history of roots music, the old traditions informing this contemporary songwriter’s music. His most recent album ‘The Story That Lived Here’ was number one for consecutive weeks on the CKUA radio chart and was in the top ten of the national college charts in Canada.

Sures is a winner of numerous international songwriting contests. He has performed across Canada, in Beirut, Lebanon and Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Ben Sures is also the author of the children’s book ‘The Boy Who Walked Backwards published by The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre.

Suzie Ungerleider

After 23 years away chasing dreams in Toronto, three-time JUNO nominee Suzie Ungerleider (formerly Oh Susanna) returned home to Vancouver, drawn by its salt air and towering trees.

Suzie brings her stories to life with her captivating voice and raw honesty. Inviting you into her world through poetic lyricism and mesmerizing melodies, she shares her experiences from teenage-hood to motherhood. “Here I am making songs back among the evergreens, a prodigal daughter, who is now a mother, asking, who was I then and who am I now, where have I been and what did I learn along the way?”

Expect an evening of heartfelt music and vivid storytelling that lingers long after the last note fades, leaving you among the evergreens, dreaming and remembering.
