This week on Songwriters From Here and Away, we shine the spotlight entirely on Canadian songwriters, celebrating the depth, diversity, and emotional honesty that defines our music from coast to coast.

From the radiant pop-folk warmth of Steeple and the intimate reflections of Molly Ferdinand, to the roots-driven storytelling of Cheryl Gaudet, Mark Bezanson, and Tiller’s Folly, this episode is a reminder of just how rich our homegrown songwriting tradition remains. You’ll also hear compelling modern voices from Landon Morris, Sarah Segal-Lazar, Tapes In Motion, and Charlie A’Court, each bringing their own perspective, craft, and lived experience into the songs.

These are songs about belief, resilience, aging, love, and staying human in a changing world — written and performed by artists who know how to make stories linger. Tune in and rediscover why Canadian songwriters continue to matter.
