Sting

In June 2013, during the 'Back to Bass' tour, Sting delivered a stunning live performance of 'Desert Rose' at Credit Union Place in Summerside, PEI. This concert came shortly after the release of his 2013 album 'The Last Ship,' which marked a significant step in Sting's evolution as a musician, focusing on themes of home and the working-class experience. Interestingly, 'Desert Rose,' featuring the enchanting vocals of Cheb Mami, has remained a fan favorite since its original release in 1999, showcasing Sting's knack for blending different musical cultures. At this point in his career, Sting was reflecting on his roots while still embracing new artistic directions, making the performance not just a nostalgic nod but also a vibrant exploration of his dynamic catalog.
