About Michael C. Duguay

“Every song tells a story, but not every songwriter can tell a story the way Duguay can.” -Dominionated

Michael C. Duguay is a writer, musician, producer, and community organizer based out of Kingston/Wolfe Island. First gaining recognition as a versatile and uniquely charismatic multi-instrumental supporting player in the early 2000’s, Michael has contributed to dozens of critically acclaimed Canadian indie, folk, and experimental albums. A fervent collaborator and community builder, Michael’s genre-fluid and multidisciplinary projects feature a diverse and revolving cast of contributing members from across North America, and he is a regular collaborator of other projects including recent Polaris nominees Joyful Joyful, The Burning Hell, Sing Leaf, Weird Lines, Steven Lambke, David Parker, and award-winning Nova Scotian chamber ensemble New Hermitage. Known for his profound and literary lyrical style, Michael is a pop songsmith at his core, but with projects as far-ranging as traditional folk, avant-garde drone, and electronic music, Michael is as comfortable on bluegrass stages as he is in DIY punk and experimental music spaces. The threads which tie these diverse projects together are a consistently radical conceptual practice, inclusive collaboration, and a fearless emotional honesty.

For this performance, Michael will be joined by his friend and collaborator Jason Mercer (Ron Sexsmith, Ani Difranco, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir) on upright bass and banjo.
