about

The Wayward Singers were a folk trio formed in Winnipeg in 1962 by Len Vopnfjord, Karen (Thorlakson) Vopnfjord and Ted Smith. The group met and performed regularly at a popular folk venue, “The Fourth Dimension Coffee House”, which frequently featured home town favourite, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and the trio’s good friend, Valdy. During their years together the Wayward Singers performed at many festivals and events in Winnipeg and Manitoba before college and careers came calling.

“The Album” is a selection of ten of the trio’s fan favourites recorded in 1964 during rehearsal on Ted’s ‘high quality’ cassette recorder, lovingly kept by Ted in pristine condition and just recently professionally, digitally enhanced by Kris Vopnfjord in his recording studio.
Now, after all these years, please welcome back.. the Wayward Singers! P.S. We’re still together! Ted and Mary Smith and Len and Karen Vopnfjord are best friends and neighbours now living on Patricia Bay just north of Victoria, British Columbia.
