Howdy!
Glad you found your way to my website! Hope you can stay and browse a while…
That’s me in the photo… I am folk singer, best known, I guess for a song I wrote called Woman Of Labrador which was recorded by the Newfoundland group Figgy Duff and published in The Great Canadian Songbook, a collection of 50 best-loved Canadian songs.
My film maker friend Tim Seyfi has a website with some videos he made of a concert I did at Cafe Montmartre, in Vancouver last fall. Take a look…
I am also a keen sailor and I guess that’s why I love John Masefield’s famous poem Sea Fever. In fact I like it so much I turned it into a song. You can take a listen here.
I live in Vancouver, where I perform at folk clubs and community events, often accompanied by my wife Danielle Arcand on vocals and percussion. I also play with a band, Island Time, featuring Paul Bergman on bass and Meredith Bates on fiddle.
Recent recordings…
- Excuse Me Your Planet Is Burning, an ironic and hard hitting message aimed at those who are still in denial about climate change (lyrics)
- Duped, a bitter take on the war in Iraq from the perspective of a US serviceman. (lyrics)
- Man With Blue Dolphin, Stan Rogers classic tale of a man obsessed with saving an old wooden schooner.
