About this listen

This week on Songwriters From Here and Away, www.sfhaa.ca we’re proud to present a coast-to-coast showcase of Canadian songwriting — from rootsy folk to indie-pop, heartfelt ballads to dynamic storytelling. Dive into songs that reflect home, heartbreak, hope and everything in between. And fulfilling some requests too!
