This is our 100th concert and it will be our most talked about show of 2019! We saw it in Charlottetown and it’s truly a first-class production.
Catherine will be accompanied by a marvelous band that is comprised of Kim Dunn (a fabulous pianist and a very soulful singer), guitarist Chris Gauthier (who is seen in Catherine's videos), and bassist Remi Arsenault. This is a multimedia concert that features narration as well as photos and videos on a large screen. In 2017 and 2018 this show was presented in Charlottetown three nights a week during July, August, and September. It was sold out almost every night. This is the first time that Catherine will perform this show outside Charlottetown.
Gene McLellan has written some very big hits such as Snowbird and Put Your Hand in the Hand and found success with many other songs as well, including The Call, Bidin’ My Time, Thorn in My Shoe, If It’s Alright With You, etc. Well over a hundred artists have recorded his songs, including Anne Murray, Elvis Presley, Loretta Lynn, Chet Atkins, Joan Baez, Count Basie, Lynn Anderson, Bing Crosby, etc.
These are not excerpts from the show itself but the songs are obviously featured in it:
Catherine sings "If It’s Alright with You"

La presse parle de Catherine/Media praise for Catherine MacLellan
"A voice like honey dusted in gold". (Boston Herald)
"Her album will melt more than a few hearts this miserable winter." (The Niagara Falls Review)
"An exceedingly blessed singer/songwriter…she has an unforgettable voice that simply breathes depth of feeling into her songs." (Folk Words, UK)
Comments heard by people walking out at the end of If It’s Alright With You show:
"One of the most professional concerts I’ve seen in a very long time!"
"That was a very moving experience!"
"Parts of that show gave me goosebumps!"
"Catherine MacLellan's stage show 'If it's Alright with You' is an honest, poignant and joyous celebration of the music and the father that was Gene Maclellan. At the same time the show admits to the emotional and personal challenges of performance and of life - and begins a discussion of well-being that we all need. Do see it while you can!" -Ernest J. Dick, author of 'Remembering Singalong Jubilee: The Story of the CBC Show that Launched East Coast Music'
