David Francey at Huntsville Festival of the Arts

David Francey is a Scottish-born, Canadian-raised carpenter-turned-songwriter known as one of Canada’s most revered folk voices. A former rail yard and bush worker, he began writing poetic songs on the job and only started performing in his 40s with encouragement from his wife, artist Beth Girdler. His 1999 debut Torn Screen Door became a Canadian hit, launching a career that includes 13 albums, four JUNO Awards, and multiple international songwriting prizes. Francey’s songs capture the grit, beauty, and humanity of working-class life, told with honesty, humour, and heart. He now lives in Ontario’s Lanark Highlands with his family.

The concert takes place in Greenhouse #4 at Sandhill Nursery. This 1800 sq ft space features an intimate performance space with charming rustic décor and great acoustics. The audience space is floor level sturdy folding chairs facing a raised stage. Seating is by General Admission. There is standing room on sides and in the back.
