Posted Saturday, March 8, 2008

Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter and multi award winner, Ian Tyson, is celebrating 5 decades of performance in 2008 with a full schedule of concerts, a television special, and final preparations for release of a children’s book based on his song La Primera. With shows planned from coast to coast in both Canada and the United States, Tyson continues to keep his loyal fans in awe with songs that range from his classics – Four Strong Winds, Someday Soon, and Navajo Rug to his newest works that he continues to write with inspired vigor. At age 75, Tyson maintains a performance and work schedule on his Alberta ranch, nestled in the foothills of the Rockies, that would rival men and women who are generations his junior.

As a true musical historian of the old west and a seasoned horseman, Ian Tyson treats his fans to an intimate evening of music and narrative portraits that begin with his story of the first horse to land on American soil and culminate with 50 years and more of his own life experiences.
