Ferron Foisy (born Deborah Foisy on 1 June 1952; known professionally as Ferron) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and poet.[1] In addition to gaining fame as one of Canada's most respected songwriters,[2][3] Ferron, who is openly lesbian, became one of the earliest and most influential lyrical songwriters of the women's music circuit,[4][5] and an important influence on later musicians such as Ani DiFranco,[6] Mary Gauthier and the Indigo Girls.[7] From the mid-eighties on, Ferron's songwriting talents have been recognized and appreciated by music critics[8] and broader audiences,[9] with comparisons being made to the writing talents of Van Morrison,[2] Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen.[10]
