Songwriters Spotlight – Duos & Collaborations

Our Songwriters Spotlight concert series, hosted by Briana Doyle and Seiji Gutierrez, celebrates the depth, diversity, and heart of our local songwriting community.

Inspired by the classic Nashville-style song circle, this intimate concert brings diverse groups of local songwriters together on stage, taking turns performing their original songs. Some will play solo, others may support one another — creating a collaborative, in-the-round experience where the songs (and the stories behind them) take centre stage.

Please note these are matinee shows: doors at 1pm, show at 2pm.

August 22, 2026 – Duos & Collaborations features Sandra Giguère & John Murray, Normand Fullum & Donna-Rae Martirano, Karen Myatt & Stephen Patrick Clare, Michelle Munroe & Yanick Goudreau, Ellen Shizgal & Dave Clarke with Lucinda Chodan, Briana Doyle & Seiji Gutierrez.
