Shane Pendergast in Concert
Live on the Found Stage: April 16, 2026
There’s something special about music at Found (if we don’t say so ourselves). This comes from the way the room gathers around a voice, how the lights soften, how neighbours and strangers end up sharing a table and a moment. Our stage was built for nights exactly like this: intimate, close-up, and filled with that electric hush you only get when live music feels personal.
On April 16, we welcome Shane Pendergast to the Found Stage.
Shane Pendergast is a folksinger from Tracadie Cross, Prince Edward Island. Hailing from a long lineage of storytellers and musicians in Prince Edward Island, he is keeping the Maritime folk tradition alive with his honest and insightful compositions. From acclaimed folk festivals across the world to the small halls of PEI, Shane has cemented himself as one of Atlantic Canada’s finest folk troubadours. His 2021 album ‘Second Wind” won Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music PEI Awards. Shane released his fourth album “Winter Grace” in January of 2025.
Expect a cozy winter night of music, wine, and community – the kind of evening that reminds you why live music matters and why this little stage in Cochrane, Alberta has become such a beloved spot.
