Thread Name: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Alright, here's a couple who none of you are probably familiar with: (Maybe they qualify more as 70's rather than 60's).

RICHARD WHITE: Played a lot in Edmonton (at The Hovel and The Edmonton Folk Club) as well as in Calgary and Winnipeg--plus the very first Frostbite Music Festival in Whitehorse. A great songwriter, the theme of many of his songs being the loss of traditional ways of life---with a Western Canadian focus. He put out 3 lp's on Tonic Records, the last one being adaptations of poetry by Icelandic/Canadian poet, Stephane Stephanson (sp?).   Currently he's a history professor in Toronto.

DALEN AND STOJAN: (Gary Dalen and Mike Stojan). From Grande Prairie, Alberta where the performed during the late 60's, early 70's--then disappeared. Great complex harmonies during a period of time when this wasn't "in". They played at the first Dawson City Music Festival in 1978 and nothing more has been heard of them.
