David Francey

Canadian folk musician David Francey is bringing his new album and tour to the Souris Show Hall on August 14.

Francey released MAPS in July. The album reflects on a songwriting journey spanning more than five decades. This poignant and powerful collection includes both fan favourites and deeply personal selections—plus one brand-new track, “Corpus Christi.”

 “I have been writing songs for more than 50 years,” says Francey. “Each song is a map that helped me navigate through the ups and downs life put in my way. I’d have been lost without them.”

Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, often described as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Since releasing his debut album Torn Screen Door in 1999, he has become a fixture on the folk music scene, known for his unflinching honesty, poetic songwriting, and deep reverence for everyday life.

With four JUNO Awards, numerous international accolades, and songs covered by artists such as The Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, James Keelaghan, and Tracy Grammer, Francey’s influence stretches far beyond Canadian borders.
