All Nick concerts are held at the Crescent Heights Community Hall, 1101 2nd St. N.W. Doors open at 7:00 and showtime is 7:30.

Rose Cousins’ CD We Have Made A Spark won the 2012 Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. She has also won two Canadian Folk Music Awards for Best Contemporary Singer. She’s the winner of six East Coast Music Awards, three Nova Scotia Music Awards and three PEI Music Awards. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice, and the devastating emotions her music evokes, you feel as though Rose Cousins sings for you, about your life. It is that sincerity that leads some to compare Cousins to our most beloved songwriters and yet her passionate delivery is distinctly Rose. From writing songs in a tiny cabin without electricity on a New Hampshire island to the stage on one of her many international tours, her lone voice reaches out to listeners, all of us surrounded by our own forms of darkness, and charges us to have the courage to forge ahead.
