David Francey was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, where he got his first taste of working life as a paperboy. Reading the newspapers he delivered, he began a life-long interest in politics and world events while developing the social conscience that forms the backdrop for many of his songs. Francey was 12 when his family immigrated to Toronto. Music played a large part in family outings when the Franceys sang traditional Scottish tunes as they drove through the Canadian countryside, David singing harmony.
In concert, Francey is a singer and a storyteller. His wry humor and astute observations combine with an openhearted singing style, earning him a loyal following.
Naked City Brewery, 8564 Greenwood Ave. N., hosts an Oscar watching party with Don Webb featuring D.O.A. (Don’s Oscar Ale) from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Sunday.
