Fafard has released six albums featuring original and traditional folk/blues instrumentals and songs. He won a Western Canadian Music Award in 2006 and was nominated for a Juno in 2007 for his album ...and another thing... In 2009, he was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for his album Three Hens Escape Oblivion. With Fafard's latest album, Fowl Mood, he builds on his previous success, with a collection of new songs in the southern blues and Appalachian traditions.
Fafard studied guitar with Jack Semple and music at Capilano College in British Columbia, and was a member of the Manitoba-based band Scruj MacDuhk, which later evolved into the internationally acclaimed Celtic fusion band, The Duhks.
Fafard's 2013 album, Borrowed Horses, was a collaboration with Toronto-based guitarist Joel Schwartz. Schwartz and Fafard toured with Canadian sculptor Joe Fafard, performing at the sculptor's exhibition openings across Canada. The album's title, Borrowed Horses, is a reference to Joe Fafard's sculpture of running horses, which graces the CD cover.
