News Release
Stratford, ON (June 10, 2018) – Canadian folk trio Trent Severn
is wrapping up their Ontario tour with a splendid sunset dinner cruise
aboard the MS Chi-Cheemaun in Tobermory, Ontario on Saturday, June 30,
2018 from 8:00 pm to midnight.
The trio has been performing annually
aboard the MS Chi-Cheemaun since 2015, entertaining guests with their
gorgeous harmonies, distinct sound and original songs that are pure
& proudly Canadiana.
Guests
will board the ferry in Tobermory where they will enjoy fine dining and
the splendid view of the setting sun over Georgian Bay during the
regular crossing from Tobermory to South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island.
The MS Chi-Cheemaun makes the 40 km. trip in about one hour and 45
minutes. After dinner, Trent Severn will entertain the guests on the
return trip to Tobermory. Translated, “chi-cheemaun” means “big canoe”
in Ojibwa. In 2015, the ship underwent the first phase of a major
makeover with the installation of a First Nations-themed wrap-around
vinyl decal.
Based in Stratford, Ontario, Trent Severn showcases the talents of Emm Gryner (bass, vocals), Dayna Manning (vocals, guitar, banjo) and Lindsay Schindler
(fiddle, vocals). Two-time Canadian Folk Music Award nominees, Trent
Severn’s individual band members have four Juno Award nominations among
them.
Trent
Severn feels very fortunate to count retired Canadian astronaut Chris
Hadfield among their fans and is the first band ever to receive a call
to a performance from outer space. In 2013, Colonel Hadfield called in a
song request from the International Space Station to Trent Severn’s
live show in Goderich, Ontario. They were also the first band to back up
Colonel Hadfield on his hit cover of David Bowie's “Space Oddity” in
space and on earth.

Trent
Severn’s music has taken the band on unexpected adventures, including
watching the Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration team fly to their
song “Freedom” in 2015. The trio has also collaborated with inventor
William Lishman and the award-winning Canadian indie band The
Rheostatics.
With
songs about trains, small-town charms, Canadian personalities and even a
maple syrup heist, Trent Severn shares stories about the goodness and
beauty of our nation. Since the release of their self-titled debut album
in 2012, the folk trio has won over fans from coast to coast. Their
second CD pays homage to their home province of Ontario, while their
third recording, entitled Portage, was recently released.
