About Me |
|
| Dave Carmichael is a Canadian singer/songwriter currently based in Montreal, Quebec.
Dave has released 3 critically acclaimed albums and received several ECMA and MIANS nominations along the way. His latest CD, SPIRIT DANCE was nominated for a 2006 Canadian Folk Music award. SPIRIT DANCE features stellar performances from some of Dave's favorite musician's on the East Coast (where he recorded all of his albums to date) including vocal harmonies by Melissa Trottier, whose beautiful voice blends perfectly with Dave's. Her singing is now an integral part of their performances.
Dave and Melissa have toured in support of SPIRIT DANCE throughout the Maritimes as well as Quebec and Ontario. In 2006 they were very happy to be artists in residence in Luzern, Switzerland for 6 weeks and are looking forward to returning there in the near future.
Still very active in theatre, Dave developed a tribute to Gene MacLellan and presented it at Festival Antigonish in August 2006 with members of Gene's original band, where he was musical director the previous season for the presentation of Joni Mitchell:River which drew rave reviews. He also recently starred in a tribute to Buddy Holly at the Stephenville Theatre Festival as well as in a revival of the "Singalong Jubilee" at Eastern Front Theatre.
