For more than 40 years, Canadian Country Music Hall of Famer Gary Fjellgaard has been making a living on the road with a guitar and a song.
He delights his audiences throughout North America and Europe with his masterful acoustic guitar, gentle vocals, riveting yodeling and tales of his life in the woods.
Fjellgaard brings his harmonies to the Legion Hall Saturday, accompanied by award-winning prairie roots singers Saskia & Darryl.
Raised on the Canadian Prairies, this award winning singer songwriter is a champion of vanishing values and the frontier spirit. Cattle drives, wagon treks, windswept prairies, rushing rivers and working folks with ties to the land have all been a source of inspiration for his songs.
His western roots music has survived categorization, and a move to Canada's West Coast has brought a universal quality to his song writing.
Fjellgaard makes his home on Gabriola Island with wife Lynne. His lifelong love for his wife, their four daughters and many grandchildren is lovingly illustrated in many of his songs.
Fjellgaard shows range from the intimacy of the small theatre to the excitement of main stage appearances at Canada's top festivals.
Tickets $20 at Books & Company, 1685 Third Avenue and the Legion, 1335 Seventh Avenue.
