David Parry (18 June 1942 - 13 June 1995) was a Canadian folk musician, storyteller, actor, stage director, and teacher. He was an important presence in the Canadian folk music scene from the mid-1970s up until his death in 1995. He worked both as a solo artist and as a member of the Friends of Fiddler's Green, a Toronto-based ceilidh band. He was married to writer and musician Caroline Balderston Parry.〔(Biography of David Parry at allmusic.com )〕 Their son Richard Reed Parry (born 1977) is a member of the rock band Arcade Fire and their daughter Evalyn Parry is a prominent spoken-word performer and musician.
Born in London, England, Parry received his formal training in theater, ultimately earning a Ph.D. in historical drama. He began his career as a stage actor in England during the early 1960s. He soon moved into directing plays as well and also began working as a semi-professional musician. During the 1960s and early 1970s he acted in and directed plays in England, Europe, India, and North America.〔
In the mid-'70s, Parry moved with his wife to Toronto, Canada where he began playing solo dates as a singer and storyteller. He soon became a fixture on Toronto's folk scene. He became a member of the Toronto Morris Men and then later joined the Friends of Fiddler's Green in the early 1980s. He also occasionally performed in concerts with Ian Robb. Parry released two solo albums: ''Wind That Tramps the World'' (1985) and ''The Man From Eldorado: Songs and Stories of Robert W. Service'' (1993). He was also heavily featured on the Friends of Fiddler's Green albums ''This Side of the Ocean'' (1978) and ''Road to Mandalay'' (1994) A posthumous album ''E Liked It All!'' (1995) was released when Parry died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 52.〔
