Before Islands Folk Festival 2026 kicks off NEXT MONTH. (www.islandsfolkfestival.ca/tickets), Cowichan Folk Guild has just one more Coffeehouse Concert left before we pause and pick up again in September!

Our June 13th artist carries some serious cred amongst his peers and with music lovers across Canada. He is a guitar player who tells great stories in song, and a natural performer with an instinct for humour and storytelling.

“With the end of the world, Ben Sures manages to articulate with brave gallows humour, what are very legitimate concerns for us all. It reminds me of the best Loudon Wainwright songs. Funny, sad, and truthful.” -Ron Sexsmith

If you haven’t had a chance to see Ben Sures live, now’s the time! He is touring across the whole country this summer, and will stopping in to our lovely town. Bring your friends, and let’s make this final Coffeehouse Concert one to remember!
Sat June 13th, 2026
Duncan United Church Hall, 246 Ingram St, Duncan BC
Doors at 7pm, Open stage at 7:30pm. $5 Members/$10 Public.
