Guy Plecash recorded the album "no Ordinary Man" at Jim Lewis Studios

Guy Plecash has developed the Gospel-Jazz project with John Reid who is the Prairie Regional Director of the Canadian Music Centre in Calgary and singer Marie Bridge-Digney of Central United Church in Calgary, Alberta.

Born: Tofino, B.C. (1953). Piano training: Dad, and Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto teachers in Vancouver and Kamloops. First professional gig around age 12. Had been to Japan and Toronto as a french horn player by age 18. Then discovered rock and roll and R&B.

Started pre-engineering courses at Cariboo College. Spent inordinate amounts of class-time singing harmonies in stairwells with like-minded freaks. Learned how to craft a decent lyric from an appropriately-gifted English prof. Eventually hit the road with several different rock-bands, seeking reputation as alien life-form.

Landed in Calgary finally. Played lucrative corporate party-market for over a decade. Then came face-to-face with some personal demons. Found himself (after some major upheavals) playing gritty, rowdy Gospel-music at Calgary's "Mustard Seed Street Ministry" outreach---and loving it! The staff thought he was a 'guest' himself at first. They weren't far wrong.

Lately he plays a "recovery" service for fellow co-dependents and addicts, as well as various street-out-reach functions. He's "opened" for such rare birds as Long John Baldry, Valdy, U.H.F., (Shari Ulrich, Bill Henderson, and Bim - or Roy Forbes if you prefer), The Paperboys, Moxy Fruvous, Murray McLaughlin - and the list goes on. But he doesn't really know anything, of course, he's just the janitor.

When the rare and miraculous opportunity comes by to record, he jumps on it. In short: He IS an alien life-form. And he's finally learning to enjoy his visit! (source:http://www.divinepresskits.ca/plecash.php)
