    "possibly the most Canadian album on Canada's most historic instrument." TORONTO STAR

    “Voyageur In Song” is a concept record, each song inspired by unique pieces from the Six String Nation guitar, nick-named Voyageur. The project came about after hearing the Six String Nation project creator Jowi Taylor’s moving multimedia presentation and being given the opportunity to spend time writing songs on Voyageur. The album artwork features an original painting from Paul W Thompson depicting the pieces in the guitar written about on the record.

lyrics

Just like an iceberg
Deep in water
You keep your feet wet
You know the trauma

You hold the memories
From sea and soil
You’ve seen the centuries
Bloom and spoil

In all the lines written on your face
No sign of a fall from grace
Fighting darkness against the grain
Still letting light come in

Cascading shadows
You and the mountains
Rain & sunshine
Nature’s fountain

Like elders singing
For generations
A brand new skin
In a six string nation

With all the lines written on your face
There’s no sign of a fall from grace
Fighting darkness against the grain
Still letting light come in

With all the lines written on your face
There’s no sign of a fall from grace
Fighting darkness against the grain
Still letting light come in, still letting light come in
Still letting light, still letting light, still letting light come in
