David Francey was born in Scotland and moved to Canada, with his family, as a young boy. He now lives in Ayer's Cliff, about an hour or so east of Montreal, so I like to think of him as one of the locals that we're proud of here.

David is a carpenter by trade and turned to songwriting and performing only in the past few years. Having burst onto the scene in middle age (David and I are the same age and I've been around for 30+ years), his songs have a much greater depth and maturity than most songwriters at the beginning of their careers. They are very, very good and are well-grounded in traditional styles.
