Biography
Long before this Manitoba, Winnipeg-native was granted a loan by the Manitoba Film and Sound organization (with financial assistance from CBC Radio) for the production of his 1999 debut recording, Greg MacPherson was already an established and much-toured musical entity throughout Canada. Career highlights include co-scoring the soundtrack for Jeff Erbach's 1995 film, Gavin Frogboy; opening for Canadian folk singer David Wilcox and again for Chris DeBurgh in 1996; and 1998 performances at Ontario's Trout Forest Music Festival, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and Much Music's Much West showcase. In 1999, MacPherson attained headliner status and performed at the Altona Activist Concert, the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Canadian Pop Night, and Winnipeg's May Works Festival. Balanced on a Pin, MacPherson's debut, was released in December 1999 to critical acclaim. ~ Roxanne Blanford, RoviWikipedia on Answers.com:
