About the artist
In 2004, on the cold streets of Ottawa, Ontario, Chris Tonelli stumbled over a sleeping bag in front of the Toronto Dominion bank on Sparks street. The man inside pretended not to notice and looked away, but Chris got a good enough glimpse at him to recognise one of his musical heroes, unshaven and destitute. It took some time for Chris to convince Guy to come home with him, to let him help him get back on his feet. Guy had given up on the world that had repeatedly, despite his being a Canadian folk hero, taken economic and spiritual advantage of his trusting and generous soul. Guy got back on his feet and asked Chris to help revive his career and the result is the Guy Obrecht Duo, a musical pairing of such purity and fragility that audiences across the continent have wept uncontrollably at their contemporary delivery of the great songs of the past four hundred years of musical expression. It is your turn now to hear the Guy Obrecht Duo.
