Jully Black, Sara Farb, Kelly Holiff And More to Headline UNCOVERED 2023

The Musical Stage Company has revealed the star-studded lineup and dates for the 17thedition of their highly-anticipated signature UNCOVERED concert event.  This year's concert spotlights the music of two of the most influential bands of the past 50 years – Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles. This annual sell-out concert is developed and performed by some of Canada's most celebrated musical theatre artists as they re-imagine the songbooks of legendary singers/songwriters through a storytelling lens. UNCOVERED: FLEETWOOD MAC & THE EAGLES runs November 14 – 17 at Toronto's prestigious Koerner Hall. 
 
From Fleetwood Mac's iconic harmonies, soaring vocals, and tumultuous relationships to the raw, hard-hitting rhythm and country-rock sound of The Eagles, the music of these legendary artists has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Audiences of this year's UNCOVERED concert can expect to hear hit songs like “Rhiannon,” “Desperado,” “Hotel California,” and “Dreams”, reinterpreted to unearth the narrative richness within the symbolic lyrics. 
 
This season's UNCOVERED concert also marks the beginning of Kevin Wong's creative direction of this must-see series. "I have been a fan of and have worked behind-the-scenes on UNCOVERED for years. I am thrilled to be picking up from where the incomparable Reza Jacobs left off to carry this beautiful concert series forward, " says Kevin Wong, UNCOVERED Creative Director. “Fleetwood Mac is one of the few bands that has remained culturally relevant more than 50 years after they formed, and The Eagles are one of the most influential bands in rock history. Their back catalogues provide a rich body of work to explore with complex narratives that I'm already loving exploring with our incredible cast.”
 
UNCOVERED: FLEETWOOD MAC & THE EAGLES also features an award-winning cast of artists who have graced international stages and screens, including Jully Black, Sara Farb, Kelly Holiff, Nathan Carroll, Eva Foote, Lydia Persaud and this year's Syd and Shirley Banks Prize Winners Vinnie Alberto and Taylor Garwood. UNCOVERED: FLEETWOOD MAC & THE EAGLES promises to be an incredible experience for fans, old and new.
 
"The Musical Stage Company is so excited to bring the UNCOVERED magic to the nostalgic sounds of Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles,” comments Musical Stage Company Artistic Director Ray Hogg. “After many years as an artistic support for the show, this is Kevin Wong's first season as the creative visionary behind UNCOVERED, and it will be thrilling to witness his fresh and vibrant approach to the beloved UNCOVERED format. For Kevin's first season, we are also pleased to be welcoming back favourite UNCOVERED icons: Jully Black, Sara Farb and Kelly Holiff
