It’s safe to say that David Francey is one of the better known artists in the Eastern Townships, but chances are that the three-time JUNO winner’s next show in the region is a little bit different than what people have come to expect.
Faced, in the summer of 2017, with voice issues so severe that he cut a tour short, Francey put down his microphone and picked up a paintbrush.
“My wife is a really brilliant watercolourist and she got me into painting,” the artist said, explaining that although he is best known as a singer-songwriter, he has been painting on the side for the last 25 years. “It’s been a constant source of enjoyment for me.”
Francey’s paintings, much like his music, come out of the inspiration he draws from the sweeping Canadian landscapes he has travelled over the years. See full story in the Friday, July 13 edition of The Record.
