SUMMARY:David Francey
DESCRIPTION:David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-so
 ngwriter\, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk po
 ets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire\, Scotland to parents 
 who were factory workers\, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For de
 cades\, he worked across Canada in rail yards\, construction sites\, and
  in the Yukon bush\, all the while writing poetry\, setting it to melodi
 es in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. A truly authentic
  folk singer\, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who neve
 r imagined earning a living from his music. But when he was in his 40s\,
  his wife\, artist Beth Girdler\, encouraged him to share his songs and 
 sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Do
 or came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then\, David has rele
 ased thirteen albums\, won four Juno Awards and has had his songs covere
 d by such artists as The Del McCoury Band\, The Rankin Family\, James Ke
 elaghan and Tracy Grammer. Francey also had the honour of receiving the 
 prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award as well as taking home the Grand Priz
 e in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the Folk categor
 y for the John Lennon Songwriting Award. In concert David is a singer an
 d a storyteller. His wry humour and astute observations combined with hi
 s openhearted singing style have earned him a loyal following. David liv
 es with his wife\, artist Beth Girdler in the quiet but charming Lanark 
 Highlands in southern Ontario. They are visited often by their son Colin
 \, daughters Amy and Julia and grandkids Tristan\, Alice and Millicent.
