    David Francey
    Ontario folk singer David Francey comes to the Kings Playhouse in Georgetown, June 1. David’s Francey’s latest CD Right of Passage was honoured with a JUNO in the Roots and Traditional—Solo in Calgary this year. Right of Passage is an intimate recording of thirteen original David Francey tunes. “The songs on this album address the different paths my life has taken, both good and bad. Some were written from experience gained aboard an Algoma Central ore carrier. Some were written about people I met out on the road or the places I ended up. Some are memories recalled and described. All deal with transitional moments in life, mileposts on the hopefully long march where we all earn our ‘right’ of passage,” says David.
