The show was great. Terra Spencer has SUCH a relaxing vibe about her. Great voice and lovely songs. David seemed a bit nervous during his song intros/storytelling, but he’s a gifted songwriter and we’ll be looking forward to seeing more of both artists. David only played during one song, so I’d like to see him play more, but his material is great and his backup musicians were exquisite. Great show!

About the venue
When we say there’s an intimate atmosphere at The Ark, we’re not just picking a word from a list of marketing terms. Most seats put you within a few feet of the performer...

David Francey Biography
David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, who 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, David has released thirteen albums, won four Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer.
Francey also had the honour of receiving the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award as well as taking home the Grand Prize in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the Folk category for the John Lennon Songwriting Award.
