Carol grew up on a family farm on the South Dakota prairies, which nurtured a love of nature and a desire to live in harmony with it. Her first job (waiting tables at the local bowling alley) enabled the purchase of that first guitar at age 16 and she’s been writing and playing ever since. Life has taken her to a variety of locations in the U.S. and Canada and she has been an Ontario resident since 1984. Her writing reflects a broad range of topics, but she may be best known for her humorous views of the trials & tribulations of relationships. Carol plays guitar and mandolin and adds occasional electric bass accompaniment in performance.Carol Teal & David Joyce have both been writing music since their teen years and joined forces in 1997 to share their musical interests. They perform mainly original songs mixed with a few well-loved traditional folk tunes. Their writing chronicles the joys and sorrows of life as well as carrying on the folk tradition of critical commentary on life today. Their well-crafted lyrics embrace a wide range of topics and emotions reflecting the celebrations and struggles of daily life, as well as the ability to laugh at ourselves. In May 2005 the duo released their second CD of all original songs, "Some Things You Do for Love". Their first recording “Simple Pleasures” was released on CD in June, 2000. David spent his early years in Toronto but has lived from coast to coast in Canada and traveled many parts of the world with his involvement in the mining industry. His songwriting reflects his love of the guitar as his first instrument with beautiful finger picking instrumentals adding to the charm of his melodies. His lively banjo tunes add variety to the duet’s repertoire and provide a nice change of pace in the performance. David also brings his skills on harmonica and 12-string guitar to the duo’s performance. A little laughter, a little blues, served up with love and compassion for the human state; David & Carol’s performance has something for everyone in their audience.Contact: Carol Teal & Dave Joyce (905) 836-9073www.carolanddavid.ca email: csteal@yahoo.com
