David Francey
David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, whose deeply human songwriting has made him “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star).
Immigrating to Toronto at age twelve, Francey spent decades working in rail yards, construction sites, and the Yukon bush, quietly composing songs drawn from everyday life. It wasn’t until his 40s, with the encouragement of his wife, artist Beth Girdler, that he began performing publicly. His 1999 debut album Torn Screen Door was an instant success and launched a celebrated musical career.
Natalie Merchant Grateful Friends Fundraiser
Natalie Merchant
Grateful Friends Fundraiser
Natalie has graciously agreed to perform at The Cabot in support of Grateful Friends, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping adult cancer patients undergoing treatment.
Natalie accepted the invitation from Bill Beckman, husband of Grateful Friends Board President Becky Beckman. Bill and his late wife Mary Beckman were dear friends of Natalie growing up and performed musically together in the Westfield/Jamestown, NY area.
This very special concert will serve not only as a fundraiser but also as a heartfelt tribute to Mary, who passed away ten years ago from metastatic breast cancer. In her memory, Becky Beckman now leads Grateful Friends with passion and purpose. Natalie’s performance will celebrate their enduring friendship and honor Mary’s legacy, along with so many others, by supporting people on their cancer journey.
We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an inspiring and meaningful evening.
