Everyone’s favourite childhood entertainer, Fred Penner, is coming to Vancouver in celebration of his The Cat Came BackĀ 40th Anniversary Tour.

Those who have memories of singing along to “The Cat Came Back” as a kid, are in for a massive dose of nostalgia ā€” with Penner announcing a concert atĀ North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre on April 5 during his Canada-wide tour.

In the lyrics of Penner himself, “The cat came back, they thought he was a goner. But the cat came back; he just couldn’t stay away.”

If you’re a fan of Penner and thought he wasn’t coming back, you’ll be happy to know in reality he just really couldn’t stay away ā€” from his following of millions of Canadians across the country.

Those looking to experience a trip down memory lane, or to share the hits they once knew with their own kids today, can help bring the sounds of Penner to the next generation.

Not only was Penner everyone’s beloved childhood musician behind “The Cat Came Back,” but he also produced 13 albums and tons of live shows to enthusiastic audiences, as well as 12 seasons and 900 episodes of Fred Penner’s Place.Ā 

Amongst the fame of his Juno-award-winning albums, videos, books, and concerts, Penner has been able to support organizations such as UNESCO, World Vision, UNICEF, and the Canadian Down Syndrome Society. And his message, “Never underestimate your ability to make the difference in the life of a child,” remains the strong today as it always was.
