On Episode 24, I talk to singer-songwriter, Paige Rutledge! We met at the University of Guelph during our time at the open mics in the historic Bullring venue. I was hosting the open mics when I met Paige and instantly loved her style of honest songwriting, and I have always wanted to co-write or chat about music, so I’m excited to hear her perspective on everything. Paige is actively involved in co-writing, and often heads to Nashville to collaborate and grow her network of songwriters for building her discography and songwriting experience.

Check out her latest single, Gone Ain’t Really Gone, on Spotify, or wherever you stream!
