A lot of musicians wax rhapsodic about the vagabond life; David Francey knows better. A Scottish native and Canadian immigrant, Francey has buttered his bread as a rail worker, a carpenter, an ore carrier shipmate, and a Yukon bush wrangler. He's also won Juno Awards and has written some of the best songs you'll ever hear. "Ballad of Bowser McCrae" and "Promised Land" are spirited sea song/Celtic hybrids; whereas "Their Wedding Day" and "Under the Portland Weather" are deeply personal observations wrapped in intimate folk melodies. "New Jerusalem" stops you in your tracks by cutting through the faux piety of murder in the name of Yahweh or Allah. Every song on the Right of Passage album tells you that David Francey is a plebeian poet who can make the prosaic sublime. - Rob Weir, The Valley Advocate Doors of the West Grove Friends Meeting house open at 7:30 and the concert begins at 8:00.
