Race Festival of Traditional Folk Music, held in historic downtown 
Cambridge.

Biography: Eddie Douglas - singer/songwriter

Described by his peers as "a sensitive and intelligent songwriter 
and an equally talented musician", Eddie Douglas is a versatile acoustic 
finger-style guitarist whose work is rooted in traditional and
contemporary folk styles. In recent years, Eddie (originally from 
Glasgow, Scotland) has appeared at a variety of music venues and 
community festivals throughout Southwestern Ontario, both solo and in 
duo with Guelph vocalist, Brenda Lewis. He has gained recognition for 
his "warm and emotive voice, delicate guitar playing, and thoughtful 
musical settings", while his vibrant original ballads and arrangements 
of the works of such poets as Robert Burns, Christina Rossetti, and 
Robert Louis Stevenson signify "an important measure of care and 
nurturing for the landscape of the imagination that Eddie brings to his 
work."

Eddie's programme of songs for children showcases a growing repertoire 
of memorable original compositions as well as some tuneful adaptations 
of children's verse and traditional songs of the British Isles. Eddie is 
presently recording his first CD - a selection of poems by award-winning
Canadian author, Dennis Lee, that he has crafted into a delightful 
collection of songs.

His musical interpretations of these quirky and imaginative poems are a 
standout feature of his current performances, and are guaranteed to have 
everyone quickly singing along! He will be joined on the children's 
stage at Mill Race by bassist, Robin Shaw-Lukavsky.
