The Barrie Folk Society is thrilled to have Ian Tamblyn kick off 2009 with a house concert on Jan. 31.
Ian Tamblyn began writing songs, short stories and plays at the age of seventeen. Since that time he has recorded 29 albums, cassettes, and CDs and written over 1,500 songs. Many of these songs have been recorded by other artists and he has received and been nominated for several awards, most recently a nomination for Best Artist by the Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2007.
Currently Ian is working on a new CD of songs and has just returned from a teaching and guiding position in Antarctica with a group called Students on Ice. He has just finished producing a double CD celebrating the songwriting of William Hawkins. This past September, Ian guided on the ice breaker Polar Star from Iceland to Newfoundland. In August of 2008 Ian released the second of his Four Coast project CD – Raincoast set on the Northwest coast of B.C. and Alaska.
