"He is a poet of the extravagantly good side of the human spirit; breathtakingly sane and compassionate."

Gary Fjellgaard

Born on the Canadian prairies in Rose Valley, Saskatchewan, Gary Fjellgaard moved west to Prince George, B.C. as a teenager and got his first break in show business when he barnstormed with Hall of Famer Evan Kemp & his B.C. Trailriders. As a champion of vanishing values and frontier spirit, Gary's songs about lone horsemen riding through verdant valleys and along moonlit mountainside trails are not fabricated solely from his imagination. He keeps in touch with his roots riding in the Annual Kamloops Cattle Drive, and has entertained at Cowboy gatherings from Calgary to Tucson. After 30 years as a professional musician, with seven of his songs being picked as Song of the Year, Gary Fjellgaard looks back on a rewarding career and gratefully acknowledges with fondness, the hundreds of towns and cities, and thousands of listeners who have been touched by his music.

Grande Olde Ride" is a collection of songs inspired by those western roots, cattle drives, wagon treks and Zane Grey novels. To quote Gary, "The romance and adventure of the west has been a part of me since I was a kid riding bareback across the prairies yodeling up a storm." Gary is proud of the fact that after thirty years is still making a living on the road with a guitar and a song.
