SUMMARY:Pierre Bensusan
DESCRIPTION:QUOTES \n“With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich\, affecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it back to you restored and renewed. As he did to mine tonight. A true giant.” James Volpe Rotondi (editor at Guitar Player Magazine) \n“This is beautiful… Pierre is one of the GREATS!!!” Tommy Emmanuel Cgp. \n“Pierre Bensusan’s music is a true inspiration.” Suzanne Vega \n“Pierre is one of my favorite guitarists. He has created a new way of playing and is the king of the DADGAD tuning.” Michael Hedges \nABOUT \nAfter releasing ‘Azwan’\, an album about our oneness and interconnectivity in the midst of a unifying global crisis\, French-Algerian guitarist\, vocalist and composer\, Pierre Bensusan is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his career. \nWhen Michael Hedges titles one of his compositions “Bensusan”\, you know that the inspiration behind it must be special and Pierre Bensusan certainly is. Guitarists from Leo Kottke to Larry Corryel\, to Tuck Andress\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Mark Knopfler\, Julian Lage\, Andrew York\, Andy Timmons\, to Steve Lukather… have sung his praises\, and Steve Vai released three Bensusan albums on his label Favored Nations. And it’s not just guitarists who are so inspired by Pierre’s music\, as a recent studio collaboration with him on Donny Osmond’s latest album “Start Again” goes to show. \nIf World Music means the fusion of traditional\, contemporary\, jazz\, classical and pop music\, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent World Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-taught on the guitar\, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s greatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “The Prince of DADGAD”\, his story is far from trivial and it is on stage that this artist has earned his stripes: among others\, the Rose d’Or of the Montreux Festival\, and being elected Best Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine! His triple album “Encore” won the Grand Prix of the Independent Music Awards in the category Best Live Album… Since his first performances in 1974 in France\, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and given thousands of concerts around the globe\, both solo and through numerous collaborations. \nPierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His almost “sacred” music is an intimate and orchestral hymn\, a solo crossing on a multi-shell Lowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound molecules and finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning – an unique and transparent technique\, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim. \nhttp://www.pierrebensusan.com

After a decade in music\, David Francey is known as one of Canada’s finest tunesmiths and a champion of the Everyman\, admired for his less-is-more approach to writing. It’s amazing how he manages to address deep stuff with such spare ingredients” \n… The Edmonton Journal \n“One of Canada’s outstanding poets\, songwriters\, storytellers. That’s David Francey with a lovely little tribute to tonight.”\n… Ron MacLean\, Hockey Night in Canada Following the Canadian Heritage Classic Hockey Game \nDavid 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. \nA 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 eleven albums\, won three Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band\, The Rankin Family\, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer. \nFrancey 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. \n“David’s straightforward songs tell honest stories of real people and real places. Poetic perception and a keen eye for the heart of the matter are trademarks of the man and his music. His songs and stories are a direct connection for audiences seeking depth and meaning in the day-to-day.” Shelter Valley Folk Festival \nDavid Francey was born in Ayrshire\, Scotland where he got his first taste of the working life as a paperboy. At age 10 he was devouring the newspapers he delivered\, establishing a life-long interest in politics and world events while developing the social conscience that forms the backdrop of his songs. \nHe was twelve when his family immigrated to Toronto. He says he can trace his love of the land\, the history\, and the people of his adopted country to weekend family drives exploring southern Ontario. Music played a large part in these family outings. They sang traditional Scottish tunes as they drove through the Canadian countryside. Dad and sister Muriel sang melody\, while mother and David sang harmonies. \nHis attachment to Canada grew with travel. He hitched across the country three times\, then thumbed his way to the Yukon. This attachment surfaces in his songs of rail lines\, farms\, and the St. Lawrence Seaway. He grew to understand the people while working in Toronto train yards\, the Yukon bush\, and as a carpenter in the Eastern Townships. These experiences colour his first CD\, Torn Screen Door\, with songs like Hard Steel Mill\, Gypsy Boys\, and Working Poor and his second\, Far End of Summer\, with Highway\, Flowers of Saskatchewan and February Morning Drive. \nIn concert David is a singer and a storyteller. His wry humour and astute observations combined with his openhearted singing style have earned him a loyal following. \nDavid lives with his wife\, artist Beth Girdler in the quiet but charming Lanark Highlands in southern Ontario. They are visited often by their son Colin\, daughters Amy and Julia and grandkids Tristan\, Alice and Millicent. \n© 2019 Beth Girdler \nhttps://www.davidfrancey.com/

SUMMARY:The Nields
DESCRIPTION:If there’s one constant here\, it’s The Nields sisters’ beautifully sweet vocal harmonies that sound eerily like the Roches singing Lush in a really big room. It’s infectious stuff.\n-Austin Chronicle \nWhat’s A Nields? The Nields story begins with the two sisters. Nerissa and Katryn a grew up singing folk songs in the kitchen and in the back seat of the family car. Katryna learned to sing melody with their father\, eventually making her an ideal front person for the band. Nerissa\, on the other hand\, tackled the harmonies; with that skill\, she provided a natural counterpoint to her sister’s vibrant lead. “I knew I wanted to be a singer and songwriter from the time I was 7\,” explains Nerissa. “I remember I wrote my first song that I was really proud of when I was 13\, and right away I had a harmony for it\, so I dragged Katryna out of her room and taught her the harmony. It was instinct — I knew that my sister should be there.” In the late ’80s\, Nerissa and Katryna met a graduate student named David Jones\, who had always longed for a career in music. Playing acoustic guitar through an electric pedal board\, he joined the sisters as they played open mics in the Washington\, DC area. Later\, he married Nerissa and took HER last name (“Just like the Ramones!\,” he said). The trio then moved to New England and released their first two recordings\, 66 Hoxsey St. (named after the house in Williamstown\, MA that Nerissa and David were living in when they started the band. \nBy the fall of ’94\, The Nields were a full-fledged five-piece acoustic rock explosion. The critical kudos were coming in\, with The Boston Globe commenting simply\, “The Nields are young. They are hip. They are hot. \nSo much more to their story at  https://nields.com/ \nXVII\, the Nields’ seventeenth album\, is both their most personal and their most community-minded. Well into their third decade as a musical partners and—judging by this sublime album––at the very top of their game\, the Nields turn to meditations on time\, and turning points\, their roots and community – both musical and personal – but they also express joy in the present\, faith in the future\, and a whole lot of hope and promise.
