ROSE COUSINS ADDED TO 'IN THE DEAD OF WINTER' LINEUP - JANUARY 18, 19, AND 20, 2018 IN HALIFAX

(Halifax, NS) Rose Cousins will join headliners Waxahatchee, and Kaia Kater on the In the Dead of Winter Festival lineup, replacing Terra Lightfoot who cannot perform due to unforeseen circumstances.  The annual IDOW Festival runs January 18, 19, and 20, 2018. Rose Cousins will perform twice on Saturday, January 20, 2018: at the Carleton Music Bar, at 10:30pm, and Songcircle #3 with Kaia Kater 7pm - 8pm at Good Robot Brewing Company.

A native of Prince Edward Island, Rose Cousins lives in Halifax. She deeply values being part of multiple music communities, and is constantly fueled by collaboration. Cousins’ 2012 album We Have Made A Spark celebrated her Boston community and featured a cast of musicians Cousins had known and played music with for a decade. It won a JUNO Award, three East Coast Music Awards, a Canadian Folk Music Award, was nominated for the Polaris Music Prize, and made picks/best of lists in USA Today, NPR Music and Oprah Magazine.  Her music has found its way into several TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy.

IDOW returns to Halifax for its 13th year showcasing an array of outstanding local, national, and international bands, singer-songwriters, and acoustic performers. This year’s all-star roster of performers contains something for everyone, full schedule and links to purchase tickets are below.
