Someone please give this guy an award for his regular golden performances on the corner of 50th Avenue and 49th Street Yellowknife! And someone else tell a recording company to record this guy. Everyday at lunch I leave my office and walk past this passionate street musician. And I have to say this outloud – he is better than many of the live musical acts I have seen or heard in recent years. He has a wonderful singing voice and he has the quality of a true storytelling singer. I often want to stop and talk to him about his music but I feel I would be interupting his vibe and disrupting people from dropping money into his guitar case.

It would seem that this young street musician has become a fixture of Yellowknife’s busiest downtown corner and created a positive musical atmosphere at an otherwise cold and drab intersection (and downtown). So much so, that he has made it into the day-to-day conversations of everyday Yellowknifer’s - who are more and more starting to acknowledge his talents and for bringing something creative life to the dusty streets of the city.

I am just going to put it out there. Stop and say hello to him once and a while. Give him the man the props he deserves.
