Artist description I'm a singer-songwriter who's been influenced heavily by the folk/pop sounds of Crowded House and Gordon Lightfoot.My new album, "Persephone", is perhaps a bit more pop-leaning, but my live sound is firmly rooted in the folk tradition, with acoustic and resonator guitar to the fore.

Artist History I'm originally from Nova Scotia, and came west to British Columbia to study. After a few years my interest in music was re-kindled after the breakup of a serious relationship (how typical!).Since September 1999 I've released two albums, "The Spinning World" and "Persephone", and I've recently completed a "live" CD, to be released shortly, which tracks the folk sound more closely. My current music incorporates more experimental sounds, but still remains rooted in the singer-songwriter tradition.

Group Members Ian Dawe (vocals, guitar, dobro, synthesizers, programming, percussion)

Instruments Acoustic guitar, Electric guitar, Resonator guitar, synthesizer

Additional Info I'm not as active as I once was in music (life, etc.), but I'm always looking for new challenges, such as soundtrack work.
