He has released 22 singles, has two Juno Awards (Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year), a total of seven Juno nominations, and four Gold albums to his credit. A man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Cape Breton Island to Texas to New Zealand, he’s a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life.
