ABOUT DAISY DEBOLT |
ABOUT MARGARET STOWE |
Her energy, humo ur and power as a vocalist have been affecting audiences since the 1960’s and prompted critic Peter Goddard to write: “Her music doesn’t showcase its roots, it contributes to them.” Her mother and father were both musicians, and in high school Daisy studied guitar with the legendary Lenny Breau. In 1968, at the Mariposa Folk Festival, she met Allan Fraser and soon after they began touring as Fraser & DeBolt and were signed to Columbia Records in New York. Two albums followed. Daisy has also written film scores for the National Film Board of Canada and worked with dance company Ballet Ys.
In the late 1980’s Daisy released her first solo CD Soulstalking, toured the folk festival circuit in Canada and made many appearances on CBC radio programs .
Since then she has produced four other albums, each exploring different aspects of her muse.
Recently, Daisy has returned to her acoustic roots on her NEW CD Lovers & Fantasies. Here she accompanies herself, but you also hear from bassist George Koller and guitarist Margaret Stowe. It includes two songs co-written with the acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje and a stunning version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow dedicated to Canadian bluesman Jackie Washington.
