| Name: | Stewart Fay | | City/Town: | Winnipeg | | Email: | stewartfay@shaw.ca | | Instruments: | 12-string guitar, bass | | Qualifications: | Live/Studio/vocals and harmonies | | Website: | http://baltimoreroad.com | | Bio/Extra info: | Listen closely and you’ll hear the influences that have shaped Stew’s songwriting over the years: the country and folk sensibilities of Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson and Tom Russell; the great story-telling of Harry Chapin, Al Stewart and James Keelaghan; the thematic clarity of Don Henley and Mary Chapin Carpenter. And weaving through it all, you’ll hear the unmistakable sound of a 12-string guitar or a great bass line, binding everything together.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Stew grew up listening to the legendary country artists and rock ‘n rollers of the 50’s and spent a lot of time singing along with the radio. Blessed with a rich baritone and a love of singing just about anything, Stew was also a part of those great Daniel McIntyre High School choirs of the 60’s that performed Bach and Handel and those intricate madrigal cantatas. That classical training produced the affinity for good melody and an uncanny sense of harmony that you hear in his work today.
Stew is a consummate storyteller who will tell you about the magic that often goes unnoticed in the pursuit of the ordinary and the everyday. His songs reflect the reality of his life, so it should come as no surprise that his lyrics capture the wry and sometimes raw observations of someone who’s been around the planet for a while. As a result, whether working solo, or with his bandmates in “Baltimore Road”, Stew’s songs regularly connect with his audiences on a familiar level, bringing laughter and tears to those who have “been there-done that”.
A big man with a big, friendly stage presence, Stew easily captures the sentiments that have delighted his audiences for the past two decades with each performance. |
