Fred Penner, Canadian entertainer of children


and families, will give a concert at Hope Covenant
Community Church on March 15.
Though he’s been performing for decades,
Penner said his message is still the same.
“It’s ‘take good care of each other,’” he said. “The Taking care

about expressing yourself to the people who love
and care about you.”
When he was growing up, Penner said, singing
and playing music were a “major and important”
part of his life, but he didn’t know musical perfor-
mance could be his career.
So he completed an economics degree and
was pursuing a career in economics. Then, a year
apart, his 12-year-old sister, then his father, passed
away.
“That rocked my world,” Penner said, “and
caused me to re-analyze what I was going to do
with my life.”
Until that point, “music had been the only thing
that gave me any sort of personal bliss and per-
sonal strength.”
In 1972, Penner started playing in lounges and
bars, “anywhere I possibly could that gave me a
sense of purpose; ultimately leading to the family
entertainment world and my first record, The Cat
