“Jarvis Church can be defined in one word: SOUL. From the beginning of his musical career as the frontman of groundbreaking group the Philosopher Kings, to his career as a successful and sought-after producer (Nelly Furtado, K’Naan), to the solo projects which gave birth to the Jarvis Church moniker – the power of Soul has been present in everything he has done. Join Jarvis Church and his 10-piece band The Soul Station as he sings soulful classics, Philosopher Kings hits and the best of his solo originals for one night only – a show not to be missed! www.jarvischurch.ca Presented by Meaford Hall.” Source, Visit South Georgian Bay
