Henry Adam Svec’s performances blend a variety of forms, including the academic lecture, singer-songwriter stage banter, and folk music. His recent projects (Peter Mansbridge and the CBCs, The CFL Sessions) have toured all over Canada. He currently is working on a PhD at the University of Western Ontario.
