Biography
Ian has been performing for the last five years throughout New England. He was selected for and performed as part of the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's 2008 Emerging Artists Showcase. His song "Lillian" came in first place at the 2009 Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest. In addition, Ian has played a smattering of shows in Atlantic Canada, where audiences are noted connoisseurs of two things: salt cod and singer-songwriters.
In that time, Ian has released three albums independently and a fourth, his latest record, on Dirt Floor Records. Upon hearing one of Ian's songs ("Concrete Mirror"), Vance Gilbert commented, "He can obviously construct a lyric better than I ever could." Other less famous people have said some very nice things, too.
