Featuring Interviews and Songs of Songwriters from Atlantic Canada and around the World. Broadcast on the radio airwaves, online and sharing the Videos on Youtube. Robert Campbell hosts an informal show that varies from week to week, sometime just tracks and commentary, sometimes one-on-one interviews, sometimes concerts with or without an interview component. Generally it is always the song in the original songwriters voice. Please contact us if you would like to hear a particular artist and we will do our best to get them on the show!

Hank and I connected on zoom early 2023 to record this chat and a few songs. click to see www.WashboardHank.net
Washboard Hank has been playing, touring, recording and writing songs for many years and lives in his hometown of Peterborough Ontario, which is where I met him first.
He was playing with his trio and had his famous washboard and homemade percussion and a style that just doesn't quit.
This episode only has guitar and voice but check out his videos!!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the multi-award winning singer-songwriter Ian Sherwood (click to website), and a room full of fans and friends, to chat about hurricanes & billboards, burning pianos and a little bit about music, writing and the state of the world.

Why This?
In 2022 I was asked by my friend Jim if I would want to take over hosting a one hour radio show that aired on a local community station. I said, "Yes... I have no clue what I'm doing but, sure, why not? I'm not playing as much right now and I love music and people and songwriting so I'm in!"
I changed the name to Songwriters From Here And Away which is the Facebook page I've had for a long while. I've hosted probably ~70 house concert type shows over the years and that is where this podcast/radio/video project sits right now.
Sometimes the show is just tracks from artists, with a bit of info on the artist thrown in, some are zoom interviews with the artist playing songs and now I am hosting the interview & chat session in a live setting with a small audience. This gives the artist someone to play for other than just me!
Hopefully you will like where it is going. Let me know what you think, which artists you might like to here or any other ideas you may have. I value the feedback.
Send me a note!
Thanks for listening and supporting original music and the arts in general. Your support matters and makes a difference.
