Three Songwriters, One Chapel: Live at Deep Roots - Ken Whitely, Lily Gunn, Mat Hughes
Songwriters From Here and Away: Roots & Branches, Live from Deep Roots 20 (Part 1)
This week we’re in Wolfville for the 20th anniversary of the Deep Roots Music Festival (September 24–27), which takes over the town each year with a mix of world-touring and regional artists. I was asked to emcee, co-produce and handle the audio for two one-hour songwriter concerts at the Manning Memorial Chapel at Acadia University. This is the first of those, our “Roots & Branches” song circle.
Your songwriters:
Lily Gunn is a Wolfville singer-songwriter and Acadia student. Her stripped-back, narrative-driven folk and alt-country caught attention at Nova Scotia Music Week, and her debut single “Bad Things” has been followed by more new releases. She’s one to watch.
Ken Whiteley is a multi-award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist who’s played folk, blues and gospel around the world for more than fifty years. He has seven Juno nominations, a Genie Award for best song in a Canadian film, and lifetime achievement honours from Mariposa, the Maple Blues Awards and Folk Music Ontario. He’s written over 400 songs and plays more than 20 instruments.
Mat Hughes is a piano-driven Halifax songwriter, back from BC’s Sunshine Coast, whose songs are funny and a little devastating, often in the same verse.
Part two of the concert is coming soon. Video is on the way too, so follow along at SFHAA.ca and on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Sometimes Chicken, Sometimes Feathers: A Conversation & Songs with Graham Nicholas
From the archives this week on Songwriters From Here and Away: Graham Nicholas, recorded live at Alderney Landing, with trains rumbling by (I’d like to say that was planned).
Graham is a Toronto songwriter who tells stories about flawed, funny, lovable people, and he does it with a wink. If you like John Prine, you’ll like him. We talked about Black Creek, which had just come out, and he played some songs.
A lot has happened since: a live album called Blotto In Toronto, and a Maritime tour with Birdie Whyte in the fall of 2024. Go find his music and buy a record. https://www.instagram.com/graham_nicholas_music/
