His skillful guitar playing provides a compelling backdrop for his rich and uniquely soothing voice. His original songs, engaging anecdotes, and inspired violin instrumentals invite listeners of all ages into a world that celebrates the poetry of life. Lowry's ability to play a wide range of musical styles makes his shows interesting and surprising. In addition, his songs move easily through a variety of themes - family and home, including the audience favourites "Ship of Dreams" and "If You Are an Angel"; "Annabelle" - a civil war tale of conscription; "Pier 21," the story of an immigrant orphan boy's arrival in Halifax in 1929; and his trademark love songs such as "Feels Like Forever" and "Sunday Afternoon". Lowry is also a gifted teacher. His songwriting workshop and school concert From the Page to the Stage in One Day! is receiving rave reviews throughout western Canada from school principals, teachers, students and parents alike. It has given hundreds of elementary and high school students the chance to co-write and perform a song they can call their own, and many thousands more the opportunity to experience Lowry's captivating and fun-filled school concert performance. Lowry Olafson has released seven CDs and tours worldwide. He performs at theatres, festivals, clubs, community halls and house concerts. He has opened for, or shared the stage with, Odetta, Dar Williams, Eric Bogle, Valdy, Pierce Pettis, Bill Morrissey, and Annie Gallup. Lowry makes his home in Gibsons Landing on British Columbia's beautiful Sunshine Coast. He is available for concert performances, workshops and private events.
