William Prince Live ... Full Set at Vancouver Island Musicfest 2022

www.williamprincemusic.com/
William Prince approaches the big questions with humility and curiosity. Prince’s influences, from the gospel of his childhood to the pantheon of classic outlaw country singers, baseball and the great beyond, shape his approach to songcraft, a masterclass in skilful simplicity.
Prince’s JUNO Award winning debut Earthly Days introduced the songwriter’s poignant philosophy and rich baritone to the world. His breakout song “Breathless,” found audiences worldwide. Prince followed up with Reliever, released February 2020. For this album, Prince began with a single word, Reliever, which informed a collection that explored how peace is found.
Relievers come in all forms; for Prince, it is song. Prince surprised fans with a second new album in 2020. Gospel First Nation, released in October, is a “21st Century Northern Interlake Country Gospel” collection that tells stories of family and faith in the age of grief. The album explores Prince’s own family tree, the places and music that shaped his childhood, and explores the extremely complicated relationship of faith and colonialism with grace and empathy.

I was volunteering at this festival and got a chance to see this set close to. What was amazing was the diversity of the crowd who were appreciating the music. Teenage girls singing along knowing all the lyrics right through to old farts like me. As I was heading out William Prince was at the front gate waiting in the shade tent for the shuttle bus. He and my wife are both from the Peguis First Nation, Manitoba Canada and he was happy to pause a while and chat - a genuine guy.

It’s a cliché to say but, William Prince could sing the phone book and I’d listen gladly to that gorgeously rich caramel voice! Heard you at Peterborough Folk Festival a few years ago now and have loved you ever since!❤
