Mark Bérubé is one of Canada’s most captivating and unfaltering talents, having devoted himself with the spirit of a craftsman to the art of song. With one foot rooted in the folk music tradition of story-telling, the poetry of spoken-word, and the other planted in a childhood love of South African music, psychedelic folk pop and a smattering of jazz, Mark Berube has a broad and eclectic base from which to build his albums, all bound together by his warmly potent voice.
Mark has released 4 albums under his own name before forming the group KLIFFS with Kristina Koropecki in 2019. His albums have been nominated for a Western Canada Music Award, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and a GAMIQ (Québec) award in the past, and he has been touring Canada and Europe since 2004, playing some of the biggest festivals and stages, such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, Paléo (Switzerland), Printemps du Bourges Festival (France), L’Olympia (Paris, France), Xjazz Festival (Berlin, Germany), and the Vancouver Folk Festival, to name a few.
Originally from Manitoba, he spent his formative years as a musician in East Vancouver, where he was a co-founder of The Fugitives, and learned his craft bouncing back and forth from the jazz, pop, folk, and spoken word scenes, often sharing the stages with the likes of Dan Mangan, Shane Koyczan, Archie Pateman (The Breakmen) back in the day. His latest album “after the flattery” (KLIFFS) was released in early 2023 and was hailed by the German national newspaper SPIEGEL as “So flattering and beautifully done that it leaves you flabbergasted.”
Mark will be performing solo and Archie Pateman will be opening the evening. You can find more information about Mark at www.kliffs.ca.
