“Playing and composing traditionals and originals, Canadian singer-songwriter Brian Paul D.G. has over 20 years experience presenting music and poetry in a story-telling-inspirational-folk-roots-acoustic-blues-easy-listening-seriously funny kind of way! Integrating his art throughout various audiences and collaborative communities mostly in the province of Saskatchewan and also throughout Canada. Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, and primarily centered in Saskatoon (with a fair balance of city and northern country/forest living) since 2005, Brian Paul D.G. and/or his ever-evolving musical friends all ways seem to be up for sharing their musical and poetic joys one way or another!

As a primarily self taught musician, Brian has produced 5 professionally released albums as of the Summer of 2024, (with a 6th on the way out soon!) self produced about 15 demo albums of original songs before that on his own, and also accomplished a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy which he finished in 2001 in London, Ontario, not to mention the many continued years of self-education he continued and continues to engage with!
