LEGENDARY BIG SUGAR FRONT MAN BRINGS AN INTIMATE NIGHT OF MUSIC AND STORIES TO CANVAS BREWING CO.

Mr. Johnson brings his massive, well known and highly influential song book to life in this one man acoustic performance drenched in the blues and folk music that inspired his Big Sugar catalog. Singing his modern classics “Turn The Lights” and “Ride Like Hell”, the Newfoundland anthem “All Hell For A Basement” and even classics he’s written for other artists like “Highway Of Heroes”.

Over the past year and a half Gordie Johnson entertained a loyal army of fans online with anecdotes from his storied career: encounters with The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, RUSH, heroes and villains. Tales of triumph and disaster told with his impeccable comedic timing, the One Man Big Sugar Show brings all of this live to the stage.

2014 saw the highly successful album and sold out tour YARDSTYLE  “THE ACOUSTICAL SOUNDS OF BIG SUGAR”. “This will be a far more intimate presentation.” says GJ, “Come on in my kitchen and I’ll cook us up a mess of tunes.” We can see the ingredients as they go in the pot… and cook he does. Acoustic Blues served up by one of Canada’s all time great guitarists, GJ’s sardonic wit also makes for an evening of irreverent laughter and a truly memorable experience.

The Acoustical Sounds of Gordie Johnson is a ONE MAN BIG SUGAR SHOW.
