Next Concert Is On July 29th Featuring
DAVID FRANCEY
David Francey has now stood in the vanguard of Canadian folk music for
the best part of 30 years. “An outstanding songwriter,” as Hockey Night
in Canada host Ron MacLean described him. A late starter, the former
house carpenter released his debut album, Torn Screen Door, in his
mid-forties. Thirteen discs followed which earned an incredible five Juno Awards. The likes of The Rankin Family and James Keelaghan have drawn from Francey’s repertoire. And the iconic bluegrass combo, The Travellin’ McCrourys, put Francey’s Borderline on their self-titled, 2018, Grammy
Award-winning disc. A resolute chronicler of working class life, his social and political commentary covers humanity’s shortcomings and triumphs with a heart-felt poignancy. Yet, he’s as much a storyteller as a singer and frequently regales his audiences with insightful, and often hilarious, anecdotes about how
his songs are crafted.

and on August 14th
DANA SIPOS
Numerous descriptions of Dana Sipos’ songs produce a litany of compelling phrases. Try: “Gently fierce.” “Cosmic folk.” “Earthen imagery.” “Intimate and otherworldly.” Or how about simply: “Deeply moving”?
Clearly, she’s a songwriter that thrives on originality while embracing elements of folk, country, blues, shades of Americana, and a hint of jazz.
Yet, she’s bound by none. She cites such inspirations as Nick Drake,
Beverley Glenn-Copeland, and the reclusive genius of Mary Margaret O’Hara, who contributed to Sipos’ 2018 disc, Trick of the Light. Somewhat of a gypsy soul, she has travelled extensively throughout North America before finally settling on Vancouver Island. And her numerous colorful adventures often take flight in her idiosyncratic songs. Normally, Dana Sipos performs solo
but, arriving direct from a weekend at the prestigious Edmonton Folk Music Festival, she will perform with a full band for the Kelowna Folk Roots Music Society.
