“Like his previous album, 2004's In My Rearview Mirror: A Story from a Small Gaspé Town, his new release will reflect the Gaspé culture in which Boyle grew up.

Dale Boyle : Acoustic Roots


Influences:

My songwriting in my acoustic roots music is largely influenced by the lives and experiences of everyday people, many of which are from my hometown in Gaspe, Quebec (Canada).

For example, a song like The Wilbert Coffin Story, is grounded in the Gaspe and tells the true story about Wilbert Coffin, wrongly convicted and executed for murder in 1956. Another song, Small Town van Gogh, is about Tennyson Johnson, a painter from my hometown area, is another example of my writing reflecting my Gaspe influence. Aside from clear hometown influences are songs like Over 100 Years, which is about William Duke Proctor, one of the few remaining Canadian WWI veterans who passed away in December 2005.
