    "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

They fought against the war
By burning their own guns
And faced a Russian Csar
Who gave them no choice but to run

A safe passage from Leo Tolstoy
A chance to realize
The truth & resurrection in his words
Settled in Saskatchewan
Fertile soil in their hands
And faith & mother nature kept them alive

Now the sun goes down
And their prayers rise up
Sewing seeds of love & peace
Gentle spirit, gentle spirit wrestlers

With freedom on their side
They slowly found their way
How to toil and thrive
In harmony each day

Raising hope in an elevator
A meeting place for for generations
100 years, still it’s standing strong
Pioneers and open fields
Wood & grain & peaceful dreams
Surrendering to every kind of sky

As the sun goes down
Their prayers rise up
Sewing seeds of love & peace
Gentle spirit, gentle spirit wrestlers
