The Arts Station is bringing Steve Gates to Fernie for a show on Tuesday, March 6 at 8 p.m.

“The songs offer a sense of humour and compassion alongside his appreciation of where he comes from and the songs that helped him find his voice.  The title track ooses Prine; Gates sings of true love, passion and drunken stumbles without regret or judgement.” – Herohill.

Well said.  Steve Gates will perform the aforementioned songs, in addition to tracks from his upcoming full length album, which he has carried with him from Nova Scotia to his busking days in Vancouver and back again.

If you already know Steve Gates and are a fan of his band, Caledonia, be prepared for something completely different when he performs tracks from his solo EP “Hello Jesus”.  His vocals and music arrangements have been compared to John Prine and even The King himself, Elvis Presley. He is set to release a full length album in 2012 but until then his four track album is available online for download and includes a his own version of the Brenda Lee classic, “You Were Always On My Mind” which was made famous by Willie Nelson.  For more, go to www.stevegates.ca.
