On tour from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the choir is comprised of working and retired coal miners from the island. The group’s inception was an effort by the people of Cape Breton to preserve in song some of the rich folklore of that island’s coal mining communities. And, that comes through in their soulful songs.

The forty-year history of The Men of the Deeps has seen the group perform on major television networks in both Canada and the United States, and live performances have been given in most major concert halls as well as smaller venues across Canada like Fernie.

Tickets are $20/adult, $15/youth.

Get your tickets in Fernie at: Carosella’s, Freshies, the Art Station. In Sparwood at the Visitors Centre, and in Elkford at the Aquatic Centre. Or call: 250-423-4842, email: info@theartsstation.com
