Event Description

"The Breath Between" is the stunning Juno-winning album from Scottish-born Canadian David Francey, celebrated on tour with Nova Scotian songwriter Terra Spencer. Spencer also plays and sings on Francey’s album, and will play an opening set and then join him on stage. Also accompanied by Chris Murphy (guitar) and Mark Sullivan (fiddle).

David Francey, carpenter-turned-songwriter, has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire, Scotland to parents who were factory workers, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. 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. 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 Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then, he has released 11 albums, won three JUNOs and his songs have been covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terra Spencer has won over audiences in Canada, the UK, and Germany since her 2018 debut. She has already crafted a catalogue of startlingly intimate songs, marrying fingerstyle guitar, gospel piano, and her butterscotch voice with sly humour and 70s wood-paneled warmth. Terra recently released her third album, CFMA nominated ‘Old News’, created with Ben Caplan and celebrated with a cross-Canada and UK tour. In a room of 5 or 500, every show is a knee-to-knee conversation with a natural storyteller.
