Nova Scotia singer-actor Geordie Brown will join American rock band Foreigner on their Canadian tour this fall.

The 13-date tour kicks off on Oct. 21 in St. John’s and wraps up on Nov. 7 in Kelowna, B.C.

Maritime tour stops include Oct. 23 in Sydney, N.S., Oct. 24 in Halifax and Oct. 25 in Moncton, N.B.

Brown will be featured as a guest vocalist for Foreigner’s “Jukebox Hero” tour ahead of the relaunch of the stage musical by the same name, which is set to go into production next year.

Brown originated the lead role in the 2018 workshop production of the musical in Calgary and Edmonton before a sold-out run in Toronto in 2019.

He is perhaps best known to East Coast Canadian audiences for his productions of “Stan Rogers: A Matter of Heart” at Neptune Theatre in Halifax and “Could I Have This Dance” featuring Anne Murray.

Brown previously joined Foreigner on stage in Halifax for a surprise appearance during the final night of their “Cold As Ice” tour six years ago.

“I count myself so fortunate that they’re bringing me along on this next chapter with the musical, and this Canadian tour,” Brown says.

“Right now, I’m most looking forward to our Halifax show, for my hometown crowd”.

Canadian rockers 54-40 will also hit the stage during select dates during the tour.

The pre-sale for the “Jukebox Hero” tour begins Wednesday, and general tickets go on sale Friday.
