Canadian country music artist Dean Brody will bring his brand of down-home music to centre stage at the Shawville Fair on Sunday night.
The country crooner is touring in support of his sixth studio album Beautiful Freakshow.
Brody’s latest album is nominated for five Canadian Country Music Association Awards including: Fan’s Choice, Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Video of the Year.
After a Country Album of the Year Juno win earlier this year for his fifth studio album Gypsy Road, Brody has been touring since April and just completed an extended stretch with the CP Canada 150 Train.
The train made 13 stops across Canada with Brody, champion Aboriginal hoop dancer Dallas Arcand, and country singer Kelly Prescott.
The CP Canada 150 Train pulled into its final stop in Ottawa on Aug. 20.
Fresh off his performance in Ottawa, Brody will head to Toronto for a performance before making the trip back for his Shawville appearance.
According to Brody’s website, “the new record is a fascinating mashup of Brody’s range of musical preferences, best epitomized by the title track, “Beautiful Freakshow”, which features a rap vocal contribution by Halifax native, Shevy Price.”
The show starts at 9:15 on Sunday night on the main stage.
