David Newland talks about his songs and the workshop he’s giving on October 26th at the Spirit of the Hills Festival of the Arts at St Peter’s Church 240 College Street, Cobourg. David was born in Ottawa, raised on the shores of Georgian Bay near Parry Sound and crisscrossed Canada and traveled the world before settling here. David still spends summers travelling with Adventure Canada as a Zodiac driver, performer and host. He also travels as a performer and speaker from coast to coast throughout the year. His musical presentation, The Northwest Passage in Story and Song has been selling out venues across Canada since 2016. He has been featured in the television programs Canada’s Greatest Ride (for which he also wrote the theme song), and Mighty Cruise Ships and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows. David is a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Not only is he giving a workshop on the Heart and Art of Song at 9.30 but he is also a panelist at the discussion of “sharing across the arts” at 12.15 Saturday October 26th.
