A childhood steeped in church music in small town Alberta gave Enslen a solid technical base upon which he has explored all kinds of musical traditions. In particular, he was drawn to songs that are common to folk in the rural prairies, the kind of country music that is born of bar room storytelling. A shifting home base - Medicine Hat, Victoria, Winnipeg, and now Calgary - helped grow his practice, pushed him to find a contemporary footing for his songwriting. Along the way, Enslen’s music has taken him across North America, offering his steady-going guitar playing and heartfelt lyrics to audiences of all stripes. Those same audiences have provided countless moments of inspiration and stories of their own that feed this guitar-picking, sweetly-singing machine.
