TERRY TUFTS has been playing professionally for three decades. His music
is inspired and his lyrics speak straight from the heart. A fine solo
musician, Terry is also a well-respected side musician and session
player. He has worked with such artists as Susan Aglukark, Don Ross,
Stephen Fearing, David Wiffin, Laura Smith, George Fox, Charlie Major,
The Arrogant Worms, Lynn Miles, and members of Rawlins Cross. Born on
Lake Erie in Gasline, Ontario, his talents have carried him all over the
world. Known as a virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist, he is also adept at
acoustic and electric slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, autoharp,
dobro, lap steel, mandola, tabla, and more. He has released four
independently produced albums. His fifth album, WALK ON, was released in
February of 2001 on the Borealis record label, produced by Ian Tamblyn.
Terry is the 1997 regional winner of Standard Radio's National
Songwriting Competition and the only two-time winner of the Ontario
Council Of Folk Festival's Songs From The Heart competition, taking that
honour in 1998 and 2001. Welcome him to his first Cloud outing!

As a very special treat we are happy to present fellow Borealis
recording artist Clay Tyson. Clay is a Toronto based singer, guitarist
and songwriter who happens to be the son of the legendary folk duo Ian &
Sylvia. While he has been influenced by the musical world of his
parents, Clay's music is all his own: earthy, rootsy music that draws on
country, rock, and folk influences. From a Billboard Review "Clay can
play fast, sharp and clean, or languid and pretty -- whatever suits the
song. From the warm, gospel feel of "Good Intentions" to the folk
finger-picking of "Stitch in Time", to the thumb-busting,
unplugged-Hendrix groove of "Kick it Down"", it all fits naturally under
the canopy of his pop sensibilities."
