DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Roly Thompson, a veteran of the rural bar, lounge and coffee house circuit in Western Canada, performs at the Duncan Showroom on March 27.&nbsp; <br /><br />Tickets are $12 in advance at http://www.showroomproductions.ca/buy-tickets and $15 at the door.<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Info</strong><br /><br />I would describe myself as a veteran of the rural bar, lounge and coffee house circuit in the Western Canadian provinces, the Yukon, and Alaska. I have performed as a solo artist and traveled extensively throughout this area on and off since the mid 1970's.<br /><br />Originally from the small central Alberta town of Bowden, I now live on Haida Gwaii, off the North Coast of BC.&nbsp; I began by playing snare drum in the local bagpipe marching band. This quite naturally led to playing drums in Rock &amp; Roll bands and touring in Canada and the U.S. In 1974 I bought my Martin D18 acoustic guitar, and my musical direction changed...<br /><br />Although songwriting has long been a mainstay of my musical creativity, it was not until my 1999 musical mindmeld with Dennis LaRochelle that I began playing almost exclusively original material. I have found that writing songs about my own life experience has led to a greater self-understanding as an artist, and to performances delivered with passion, depth, and heartfelt emotion. I accompany my lyrics and vocal melody with my acoustic guitar and rack-mounted harmonicas.<br /><a href="http://music.cbc.ca/#!/artists/Roly-Thompson">http://music.cbc.ca/#!/artists/Roly-Thompson</a></p>
