Fernie celebrates with a special St. Patrick’s Day performance at the Pub from local favorite, Charles Benjamin.

Originally from Port Elgin Ontario, Charles moved to Fernie in early 2022. An accomplished musician, he combines authentic songwriting with his laid back indie-folk persona. Pulling inspiration from travelling, relationships, and the many ups and downs that life entails. He plays a mix of both his original music as well as a wide variety of covers from folk, indie, rock and country. Since moving to Fernie he has definitely established himself as one of this towns finest musicians.

Patrick’s Day, feast day of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432ce to convert the Irish to Christianity.
