Event Description
Two of the most compelling voices in contemporary folk—Mia Kelly (Canada), returning after opening for Good Lovelies last year, and Blair Dunlop (UK), also returning to artsPlace —continue their cross-continental collaboration this fall, bringing their tour to Western Canada and select cities in Ontario and Quebec.
Earlier this year, Kelly and Dunlop performed to captivated audiences across Ontario and Quebec following a UK tour that saw Kelly as Dunlop’s special guest. This next leg of their Canadian journey builds on that success, offering fans another opportunity to see each artist perform solo sets while celebrating their creative connection.
After meeting at Folk Alliance International in Kansas City in 2023, the two award-winning songwriters co-wrote Meaning Well, featured on Kelly’s CFMA-nominated album To Be Clear (2024). Their on-stage chemistry and shared storytelling instincts have struck a chord with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
