This week on Songwriters From Here and Away, I sat for a chat with Lennie Gallant, one of Atlantic Canada’s most acclaimed and enduring songwriters. With over a dozen albums, countless awards, and songs that have traveled from PEI to the International Space Station, Lennie’s music continues to resonate across generations.
In our wide-ranging conversation, Lennie opens up about the craft of songwriting, his connections to legends like Jimmy Buffett and Matt Minglewood, his forays into theatre, and even the surprising link between music and clams 🦪.
Along the way, we share songs from across his vast collection of recordings, including:
- Man of Steel
- Sirène de Matelot
- It Takes A Lot of Whisky
- Portugal to PEI (a tribute to Jimmy Buffett)
- Counting on Angels
- Please Wait
- Uncle Harold
- God's Reply
- Pieces Of You
- Peter's Dream (a true East Coast classic)
- Sequoia
- Black Spruce River (a nod to Matt Minglewood)
- Shelter From The Storms
This episode is as much about stories as it is about songs: tales of growing up on PEI, the inspirations behind the music, and Lennie’s reflections on how art connects us all.
🎧 Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering him for the first time, this deep dive into Lennie Gallant’s music is not to be missed.
