Songwriters Spotlight – Women In Music

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.

May 30, 2026 – Women In Music features Laura Newman, Jennifer Dahl, Josee Brault, Sandra Giguère, Ishana Rahim, Briana Doyle, Lisa Mahabir,  Rachel Dara, and Karen Myatt.
