Dan Bern - Wilderness Song

"Wilderness Song" is the soundtrack to Jonathan Demme's documentary about Everett Ruess and is based upon his poems and essays. Everett Ruess was last seen leading two burro's into the Utah wilderness in 1934. He was never seen again and his fate is, to this day a mystery. Following his death, his work was collected and published in two books, "On Dessert Trails," and "Everett Ruess: Vagabond for Beauty." It is in these books that Dan has found the inspiration for his 15 song-cycle. We invite you to be a member of the first Canadian audience to see this one-of-a-kind performance, one that Dan will not be performing anywhere else in Canada this year. div. Event Details.
