As part of the Kennedy Center concert series, Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Hines will perform a free show on the Millenium Stage inside the Center, on July 3 at 6 pm. The show will also be streamed live online at www.kennedy-center.org/programs/millennium.
More details in the press release:
Hines has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and has his own PBS Special all in support of his latest album, Days To Recall (Decca). In addition he has traveled the world, and played in front of sold out crowds in some of the most prestigious venues in North America. He’s even scaled down the side of a 33-story building in his wheelchair. Larsen’s syndrome, a congenital joint condition which has kept him confined to a wheelchair his entire life, has not stopped Hines from achieving greatness in fact it has inspired him to dream larger than life. “There are certain places that are so rich in history and are held in such high regard that it is nothing short of an honor to have the chance to perform there. The Kennedy Centre is definitely on that list and we’re beyond excited to have this opportunity” said Hines.
Optimism permeates throughout Days to Recall, Justin Hines U.S. debut album. The Canadian singersong-writer’s collection of heartfelt songs about life and love showcase his considerable talents, and his will to overcome insurmountable obstacles.
Even though Justin grew up singing in church, the realization of pursuing his musical dreams happened at the most unlikely of places— at a Toronto Raptors’ basketball game in his hometown 15 years ago. A then 14-year-old Justin won a vocal competition to sing the National Anthem at the game — both the Canadian and American — and his world opened up before him. “In that moment, it all seemed possible,” he recalls. Thrown in the deep end, Hines has performed professionally ever since and realized he could not only survive, but succeed.
