ABOUT LENNIE GALLANT
One of my favourite Canadian songwriters. – Jimmy Buffet
One of our country’s finest singer-songwriters, Lennie gave one of the standout performances of the National Arts Centre’s Canada Scene Festival. – Chris Dearlove: Manager, National Arts Centre, Ottawa
East Coast songwriter Lennie Gallant has released fifteen albums of original songs which have won him a host of awards and nominations from the JUNOs, Les Prix Éloizes, and The ECMAs. His songs have been described as “true slices of life delivered with a poet’s flair and a rugged emotional sensibility”.
His song Peter’s Dream, about the state of the oceans and those who harvest from it was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Lennie performs internationally and has toured, not only with his band, but also with symphony orchestras. His songs have been covered by many artists and he has performed with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers and with David Foster and his band. Lennie has two co-writes on Jimmy’s last album, and was invited to sing on it as a featured artist.
One of Lennie’s physical albums actually was taken up to the international space station and circled the planet 248 times, finally giving the artist high rotation worldwide!
His album, Time Travel, was voted a top ten Album of the Year by a panel of Canadian music industry personnel, and his recent all original Christmas album has enabled sold out tours.
He and partner Patricia Richard also record and perform as the popular Francophone duo, Sirène et Matelot. Their songs have achieved strong play on francophone radio and have consistently remained on the charts!
Lennie Gallant is a member of The Order of Canada and has been recognized for his humanitarian efforts.
