Shadbolt Centre for the Arts presents Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter David Francey on January 26 at 7:30 pm.

A truly authentic folk singer, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who never imagined earning a living from his music. It was when he reached his 40s that his wife, artist Beth Girdler, encouraged him to share his songs with the public.

Francey’s first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999, and was a hit in Canada. Since then, he has released 11 albums, won three Juno Awards, and had his songs covered by such artists as the Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, James Keelaghan, and Tracy Grammer.

Francey is a recipient of the SOCAN Folk Music Award, Grand Prize at the International Acoustic Music Awards, and Grand Prize in the folk category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

Tickets are available via the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
