Canadian folk legend Ian Tyson comes to the Iron Horse this Saturday

Ian Tyson has long been one of Canada’s most respected singer-songwriters. His songs have been covered by Neil Young, Judy Collins, Suzy Bogguss, Gordon Lightfoot, Bobby Bare and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, among many others. He’s had two distinctly brilliant careers spanning three decades. In the ’60s, he was one of the first Canadians to succeed in the US with the legendary folk duo, Ian and Sylvia. They recorded over a dozen timeless albums including their best known and often covered hits - Ian's “Four Strong Winds” and “Someday Soon”, and Sylvia's “You Were On My Mind.” In the years that followed he hosted his own TV show, recorded some of the best “folk” albums ever made, quit the music business and became — after years of backbreaking work — a rodeo rider and a successful rancher.

Moving through the first decade of the new millennium, Ian continues to actively tour, write music, record, and garner new honors and awards. In 2006, CBC Radio declared "Four Strong Winds" the number one Canadian song of the 20th Century. In 2007, Stony Plain Records released a new CD - The Gift, A Tribute to Ian Tyson - recorded by 15 of Ian’s most respected, international peers. And in 2008, with continuing coast to coast touring in both Canada and the United States, Ian celebrates 5 decades of performance and his 75th birthday. Get tickets HERE.
