David Francey is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1954, who emigrated with his family to Ontario at age 12. He spent decades working as a carpenter and rail yard labourer, quietly writing songs all the while, and did not begin performing publicly until he was 45. Since his 1999 debut he has released thirteen albums, won four Juno Awards and three Canadian Folk Music Awards, and his songs have been covered by artists including The Del McCoury Band and The Rankin Family.
David Francey released the double album MAPS on July 22, 2025 - a collection of 36 remastered songs from 50 years of career plus a new bonus track, 'Corpus Christi'.
Cashbox Canada described MAPS as a retrospective of a songwriting journey spanning more than five decades, featuring both audience favorites and Francey's own personal selections.
Americana Highways reviewed MAPS positively and highlighted the 36 remastered tracks as well as Francey's ability to tell stories through melodies and lyrics of high quality.
David Francey is touring Canada and the USA in 2026 with scheduled concerts in Grande Prairie and St. John's, among other locations.
