Frederick Squire is a Canadian rock singer, songwriter and guitarist. Originally from Ajax, Ontario, he is based in Sudbury following a number of years living in Sackville, New Brunswick.[1]

Formerly a member of Shotgun & Jaybird, in which he used the stage name Dick Morello,[2] he has collaborated with Julie Doiron, both on her solo albums and in the band Calm Down It's Monday.[2] Squire and Doiron, additionally, collaborated with Mount Eerie on the 2008 album Lost Wisdom and with Daniel Romano of Attack in Black on 2009's Daniel, Fred & Julie.

In 2010, Squire released a tour-only EP, March 12.[3] An expanded version of the EP was released on November 2 on Blue Fog Recordings,[3] and was later named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.[4]

In the fall of 2010, Squire & fellow Canadian songwriter Kate Maki travelled to Paco Loco Studio in El Puerto de Santa Maria to record a couple country songs. Calling It Quits/Crazy Tropical Survival Guide was released as a seven inch two-song single and digital download on March 22, 2011.

After touring Canada together in 2011 in support of their 7 inch as well as Fred's second solo album, Frederick Squire Sings Shenandoah and Other Popular Hits, and Kate's fifth solo album, Moonshine, the duo decided to take a break from touring and settled in Copper Cliff, Ontario to start a family. Squire and Maki welcomed a son, Finn Thomas Squire, on November 17, 2011, and were married on December 22, 2012.
