Music From Big Pink: The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir

Event Description

Bourbons play Big Pink: A special night to benefit the Pros & Cons Prison Arts program

If you were a music head in the 1990s, chances are you remember Bourbon Tabernacle Choir. With a devoted following and a sound unlike anything else on the scene, they weren't just a band—they were a phenomenon. Featuring the magnetic combination of Chris Brown on keys, Kate Fenner and Dave Wall on vocals, and Jason Mercer on bass, their infectious mix of musicianship, energy, soul, and funk filled clubs and won hearts across the continent.

Now they're back.

Three members of the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir (Jason, Dave, and Chris) are reuniting with stellar backup from Liam Cole and Kevin Lacroix, performing music from the beloved album Big Pink at the Hotel on Wednesday, June 17 at 8:00 PM. Fresh faces, timeless songs, and the same joyous spirit that made the band unforgettable. Come see what all the fuss was about—or relive it all over again. A concert tribute to The Band’s legendary album, Music From Big Pink.

This show will be a benefit concert for the Pros and Cons Program, which helps create music in prisons to support healing, restorative justice, victim support, and education. Participants obtain practical knowledge and skills across platforms of music, engineering and computer literacy. Funds raised by Pros and Cons provide instruments, recording equipment and mentors to teach skills, promote healing in situ for incarcerated people.

Come out to support this incredible work, and come early for dinner! Ferry leaves Kingston on the hour, it’s free, and it docks just steps from the Hotel!
