Songs, Concerts and Interviews with Songwriters from Atlantic Canada and around the World. 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. The show is broadcast on the radio airwaves, on all podcast platforms and occasionally sharing video on Youtube. Please contact us if you would like to hear a particular artist and we will do our best to get them on the show!

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.
