With 17 years of child-raising and two albums behind him, MFC is owning his identity as a Dad Influence on his kids and listeners everywhere and inviting other dads and kids to the celebration. Like a hot blast of breath from a Saxophone, Dad Influences is a gust of ten original songs which might be uncomfortably close and cringey, but you're still gonna want to hear it out in case there’s a sweet surprise in it for you.
My Friend Christopher explores the joys and challenges of family life through original songs with piano, acoustic guitar rags and early jazz horns. In 2024, both solo and alongside his band The Dad Influences MFC was a repeat performer in schools in Hamilton, premier Festivals like Hillside, Festival of Friends, Telling Tales, Imagine in the Park as well as local libraries and markets in Hamilton. His FACTOR-funded second album Tuba Blues was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Children’s Album.
MFC's third album "Dad Influences" is out as of June 14, 2024!
