Mohsin Zaman

Alberta's great singer/songwriter has had an amazing year: he performed at the Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Calgary Folk Festivals; was appointed "Artist-in-Residence" with the Edmonton Folk Festival; and was voted Edmonton's Male Artist of the Year.  He's making his first trip to Vancouver to play St. James Hall -- but we are lucky enough to get him the night before.  This Wednesday night show promises to be something very special.

​

Mohsin, whose family hails from Pakistan and who emigrated to Canada from the UAE only nine short years ago, describes himself as, "an old hand at being a new comer." In the two years since giving-up a career in banking to pursue music, he's been widely celebrated -- I could fill the rest of this profile with just the nominations and awards he's earned -- and asked to perform at many of Canada's biggest summer music festivals.  His albums, Waking Up (2015) and Fly Home (2016), have earned widespread, well-deserved critical acclaim.
