Alan Moberg Biography
Alan Moberg, the “Saltwater Cowboy”.
Alan
Moberg was born in 1941 in Pender Harbour, BC. His Dad was a logger
who became a fisherman that same year. At 83, he is three years into his
ninth decade on these shores.
His mother was a city girl who
became an up coast wife and mom. She learned to slice frozen bait in
Fitzhugh Sound, shoot a marauding mink who was killing their chickens,
and raise two kids largely on her own as her husband was away fishing
for up to five months of the year.
The first word Alan spoke
was "boat." As a toddler, he could tell whose boat it was before it
came around the point by the sound of its engine. He migrated with his
mother to Rivers Inlet for the fishing season in 1945. And for three
more years with his mom and younger sister Lynda, from 1950 through
1952, he deep sea trolled with his dad in summers from the age of
eleven. And later seined both salmon and herring on bigger boats.
At
age 22, he returned to fishing with his father to make up for the sea
legs and abilities he lacked as a youngster. His dad would say that
this more mature Alan was the best man he ever had on the boat.
Recently,
John Lugsdin of the Salt Spring Sailing Club said that "Alan is one of
the few people who remembers the BC Coast as it once was" and invited
him to play a concert for the Club’s members. Alan told stories and
sang songs of his beloved West Coast. It was a smashing success. The
folks loved it.
His work has been featured on both TV and radio
across Canada, and he is a member of the BC Country Music Hall of Fame,
and winner of 3 BCCMA awards.
His greatest reward comes from the people who have continued to love his music across these many decades.
