The Haven Social Club

One voice . . . one guitar. And one of Canada’s most “asked-to-come-back”* talents. Timeless, telling tributes and profound lyric…from one songwriter who has performed at festivals on the three shores of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans, and countless places in between.

John Spearn (var. Spearin) is Canadianafolkrootsceltic. Catch it all…the rich vocals, scintillating guitar, and amazing on-stage moxie. This is pure unplugged art…there’s no paint-by-number glitz!!! Three nationally-acclaimed, grant-supported CD’s Northern Sightlines (1999), Canada Songs (2002), and the new off-the-floor Lonely Heroes (2007) transcend him as a must-pick festival performer, workshop host…and multiple award-nominee.

Here you have it…a true foot-stompin’, heart-grabbin’ troubadour: forgotten but deserving heroes, the humility and hilarity in our international image, and stories that need to be told.
