David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-song-writer, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star).
For decades, he worked across Canada in rail yards, construction sites, and in the Yukon
bush, all the while writing poetry, setting it to melodies 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 never imagined earning a living from his music.
His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then, he has released eleven albums and won three Juno Awards.
