Hello! Just a reminder that we have this fabulous show coming up on Saturday. Shawna is coming in as our artist-in-residence, and this performance supports her stay with us. Please let us know if you plan to attend!

Shawna Caspi – Songs for the Heart, Truth for the Times

Join us on Saturday, July 19 at Birdsong for an evening of finely-crafted folk music with Toronto’s Shawna Caspi — singer-songwriter, painter, and poetic truth-teller.

Shawna’s songs are rich with story and soul, carried by warm vocals and intricate fingerstyle guitar. Her most recent album, Hurricane Coming — nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award — dives deep into burnout, healing, and the slow work of coming back to yourself.

In a world that often rushes past the real stuff, Shawna makes space for honesty, nuance, and the kind of songs that feel like they’ve been waiting just for you. Expect vivid imagery, unexpected rhymes, and melodies that move you.

This is music for quiet hearts and thoughtful listeners — for anyone who’s ever needed to slow down, take stock, and keep going.

Come and be part of something powerful and real.
