David Francey

Get ready for an afternoon of music that’s as real as it gets with Scottish born Canadian, David Francey, at the Albany Entertainment Centre!

A master storyteller, David turns life’s everyday moments into unforgettable stories with lots of laughs between his gorgeous folk songs. 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. With a voice like warm whisky and stories that’ll make you laugh, cry, and everything in between, David’s show feels like catching up with an old friend.
