Stephen Fearing was born in 1963 in Vancouver, British Columbia and grew up in Dublin, Ireland where his schoolmates included future members of U2. In 1981, he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and immersed himself in the music scene, learning the fundamentals of song writing and performing, whilst washing dishes to stay alive. By 1984, he was back in Vancouver, determined to become a professional musician. In the years since, he's been named as one of the finest songwriters in Canada and has built a national - and international - audience for his music, doing it old school through countless performances at intimate venues and on the concert stages of festivals across Canada, the US, the UK and Europe, with appearances at major events like the Reading Festival and WOMAD.
