David Francey, a Scottish-born Canadian songwriter, is "one of Canadas most revered folk poets and singers", Toronto Star. Originally from Ayrshire, Scotland, he relocated to Canada at a young age, later becoming a carpenter by trade Francey quietly composed poetry, weaving melodies in his mind, and singing to himself while on the job.
Francey is a storyteller of the common worker, initially never envisioning a career in music. His debut album, "Torn Screen Door," released in 1999, marked the start of a distinguished journey that garnered his career four Juno Awards and covers by esteemed artists like The Del McCoury Band and The Rankin Family. As noted by CBC New Brunswick, his compositions are reminiscent of a blend of common-sense philosophy intertwined with a touch of sadness and an abundance of love.
Francey also had the honour of receiving the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award [Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada] and taking home the Grand Prize in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the Folk category for the John Lennon Songwriting Award.
Franceys trio brings the stage a gorgeous mix of Banjo, Bazouki, Acoustic Guitar, Fiddle, and Franceys Scottish humour, storytelling, and vocals.
