It’s been 12 Years since Jeremy Fisher has performed at Bozzini’s and he’s back…finally in what will be an amazing night of music when his friend and ours, Ryan McMahon joins him for a great night of music
Jeremy Fisher

Jeremy Fisher is a 4-time JUNO-nominated folk-pop singer-songwriter based in Ottawa. He has released 6 studio albums and his music has been featured on radio, in film (The Big Year, Our Idiot Brother), commercials (Volkswagen, American Airlines), and as main title TV themes (Disney, Global). Over the last 20 years Jeremy has toured the world and shared the stage with artists such as Alanis Morissette, Blue Rodeo and Indigo Girls. His upbeat music with singable lyrics and heartfelt stories have earned him a dedicated fan base.
He is a co-creator, songwriter and voice actor for the CBC animated series Jeremy and Jazzy, a show about how feelings become songs, songs become stories, and music, friendship, and collaboration create joy.

Ryan McMahon
Legendary Canadian TV/Radio personality Terry David Mulligan may have summed up Ryan best:“The complete package. Singer. Songwriter. Performer. Troublemaker. Passionate human being. For me… priceless.”

Engaging and honest, Ryan McMahon’s music is written from the heart and sung from the soul. It is as rock as folk can get before it starts to roll. A blend of folk, americana and rock following the lead of his peers Jason Isbell, Nathaniel Rateliff & Warren Zevon. The singer songwriter has enough wit and charm to get through any situation and his songwriting fits every emotion into his live performance.

Born on the coast of British Columbia in a small seaside hamlet on Vancouver Island, Ryan’s first experiences performing were for family members laughing at his reiterations of comedians he loved. As he expelled versions of Eddie Murphy and Billy Connolly, McMahon fed off the energy from his audiences at such a young age and continued to dive into the music influences of his parents, which included a mix of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, The Everly Brothers and BB King. He picked up a guitar in high school and became known for playing the Battle of the Bands and sneaking into the clubs in nearby cities as an under-aged performer.

After graduating, he moved across the pond into the Vancouver scene to join a group of musicians exploring the music and nightlife of the bigger arena. He spent a decade playing small clubs, hosting open mics, writing, and recording. The songwriting and recording became his outlet for understanding the human experience and his ability to connect to audiences grew with each story he told. During his time in Vancouver, he penned the album, Weeks Months Years, produced by Mike Rogerson at Bakerstreet in North Vancouver.
The muse of life brought him back to Vancouver Island in 2008 and as a solo artist, McMahon won a record three Vancouver Island Music Awards for Album of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year in 2012 for his album ALL GOOD STORIES. After touring in support of the album, he joined forces with Cory Woodward and Christopher Arruda to create Lion Bear Fox: a folk-rock trio that showcased and toured Canada, the U.S. and in Europe until 2019. McMahon’s contributions to the band resulted in some of their most well-known songs, like “Shine,” “Freedom” and “Going, Going, Gone.”

Over the years, Ryan has opened for many iconic bands and artists from Buffy Ste. Marie and Nickelback to Canadian country artists Chad Brownlee, Brett Kissel, Dallas Smith and Aaron Pritchett. His talent, persona and musicality opened many doors to the range of genres encompassed in his songs. In 2019, as he returned from Tonder Festival in Denmark, the opportunity to play with and meet Canadian Country Music singer Aaron Pritchett marked the embarking on a new chapter in music.
Pritchett took Ryan under his wing and lit a new fire under McMahon’s feet as the pandemic settled into the hearts of people around the world. After a few attempts at telling the story, Ryan wrote “One More Fire” as a calling card for how his passion for music has been reignited.

“Of course, songs and art are subjective things, but to me ‘One More Fire’ represents that yearning to obtain connectivity to the human race around me,” says Ryan. “That feeling in my belly that I had when it was the night before battle of the bands in high school; or that notion that tomorrow I’m going into a new city to meet that community and make ’em sing, laugh, cry or dance or all of it all at the same time.”

Ryan admits that after years of scratching, clawing, winning, losing, and going through a pandemic that put the brakes on the entertainment industry, the fire to create and perform remains burning in his heart — and won’t be extinguished anytime soon.

So glad to be welcoming back the wonderful and GRAMMY award winning Colin Linden

Colin Linden’s tale is the stuff of legend, the kind told in the Coen brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou or Inside Llewyn Davis, both of which featured his guitar playing on the soundtracks. That film would begin with an 11-year-old meeting his musical idol Howlin’ Wolf at a matinee show in his native Toronto, accompanied by his mom, who took a picture of the two during a nearly two-hour long conversation before the gig, the legendary bluesman idling over coffee and cigarettes.
“I’m an old man now, and I won’t be around much longer,” Wolf told him. “It’s up to you to carry it on.”

Linden still carries that frayed photograph in his wallet, along with a Sears 5/8” socket wrench in his pocket to play slide guitar. He has taken Wolf’s plea seriously, performing since he was 12 years old, leaving home as a teenager to travel the south at the invitation of Mississippi Sheiks delta blues guitarist Sam Chatmon which took him to Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Memphis and Hollandale, Mississippi, meeting and visiting the sites of his heroes – Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Sippie Wallace, Tampa Red, Blind John Davis, the Rev. Robert Wilkins, Sleepy John Estes and Son House, visiting the landmarks and juke joints, many of which he’s played in during the course of a 45-year career producing and playing blues and roots music. As a singer/guitarist, he’s accompanied everyone from Bruce Cockburn (as his producer and touring musician) to Bob Dylan, Greg Allman, Rihannon Giddens, Pistol Annies, John Prine and more.
He was the main contributor to the music for the Nashville TV show and subsequent live tours. Along the way, Linden played on over 500 albums and produced 140, including his first-ever actual Grammy in 2020 for producing Keb Mo’s Oklahoma, winner for Best Americana Album. He has also nabbed a staggering 25 Juno Award nominations and nine wins.

Linden’s latest solo album, bLOW, the first outside artist on longtime friend Lucinda Williams’ Highway 20 label distributed by Nashville-based Thirty Tigers, is his 14th in 40 years, but first electric blues release. The title song comes from being stuck inside a flimsy motel after a casino gig somewhere in Oklahoma or Texas as a tornado was about to hit, waiting for the walls to cave in, with his wife, the novelist Janice Powers, providing not only the opening verse quoted above, but the gurgling Hammond B3 organ left to him by his former bandmate, the late Richard Bell, played, in her own words, “like a deranged church lady.”

Join Rocky Moran, Gillian Wale, and Fred Webber on the upright bass
At the beginning of 2020, Gillian and Rockland were preparing for their annual trip south, with our band “The Ranters” through the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and this year Louisiana.
Then fell the ides of March, and with it the global pandemic.
All bets were off! Being locked down, like the rest of the world and music industry, they took advantage of the downtime to write and record nine songs of a ten song album.
Taking inventory of the world around them, they wanted to bring the current events to attention in our music, as did the songwriters during the 1960’s.
Rant on, Children
In these recordings, The Ranters review subject matter of localized racism, destruction of environment, and increasing homelessness. Throughout these songs, there lies a thread of healthy contempt for religious authority, as well as a touch of humor and optimism.
“The Ranters” hope that you enjoy this musical offering of contemporary roots/blues titled “Rant on, Children”.

Blistering Slide, Killer HarpOur good friend Nigel Mack returns! Always a great show. Nigel gives it his all!

Chicago blues ‘triple threat’ (slide guitar, harmonica and vocals) Nigel Mack delivers a high-energy show that fuses blues classics with the punch of contemporary original blues. Seamlessly switching between instruments, Nigel Mack is equally proficient at them all. These are talents honed by years of relentless touring in support of his four critically-acclaimed releases; Back In Style, Devil’s Secrets, Road Rage and High Price to Play. Nigel’s new all-original album, Back In Style is receiving glowing reviews and attained #1 on the RMR Contemporary Blues Charts! His previous release, Devil’s Secrets, reached #1 on the Canadian blues charts and won ‘Best Self-Produced CD’ from the Windy City Blues Society, in Chicago.
Mack’s original compositions have been featured on television sound-tracks ‘Dawson’s Creek’, ‘The Street’ and ‘Time of Your Life’.
Nigel Mack has been living in Chicago, IL since 2003 and performing in the ‘the home of the blues’, since 1992. Over the years ‘Nigel Mack Blues Attack’ have logged over a million miles across North America and Europe and headlined top blues venues throughout. They have appeared at the world famous ‘Chicago Blues Festival’ six times and toured virtually every one of the United States and most of Canada. Mack’s dynamic stage show is a favorite at clubs and festivals everywhere.
Nigel grew up in Saskatoon, Canada, listening to the music of the ‘60’s, Bebop jazz and Big Bands emanating from his Dad’s stereo. Saskatoon’s university and location guaranteed that everybody touring western Canada played there. The types of artists were varied and eclectic: Muddy Waters, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Stevie Ray Vaughan, just to name a few.
The ‘blues explosion’ in the mid-eighties led to a weekly gig at ‘Buds on Broadway’, which featured touring blues artists from all over. As Saturday jam session host, Nigel met and performed with blues legends such as Eddy Shaw, Phil Guy, Amos Garrett, Brent Parkin and Big Dave Mclean.
In the spring of 1988 Nigel and his band relocated to the musical hotbed, Vancouver, BC. From this west coast base Mack built a strong local following and toured around western Canada.
In 1992, Nigel received a call from Chicago blues band leader Eddie Lusk inviting him to perform during the Chicago Blues Festival with ‘The Professor’s Blues Revue’. Nigel seized the opportunity and began touring the US with a vengeance, racking up seventeen American/Canadian coast to coast tours over the next ten years.
1996 saw the release of Mack’s first full length all-original CD High Price to Play. It garnered critical acclaim, a nomination for ‘Best Blues/R&B Album’ at the 1997 ‘West Coast Music Awards’ and three songs on major TV sound tracks!
Nigel Mack followed High Price to Play with Road Rage, released in 2001. Essentially a live album, Road Rage blends blues classics with original songs and three studio tracks. It continues to be a favorite among fans.
When not touring, Nigel spends the majority of time recording and performing in and around Chicago. A decade earlier, the seeds of this move had been planted. On that first trip, Eddie Lusk had said, “This is where you should be!” With the release of ‘Back In Style’, his chart-topping, all-original album, Nigel Mack is building on past successes and bringing his own brand of Chicago blues to a new generation of blues fans.

Sean Burns (Early Show)
2026-10-02 17:30 - 19:30 | Bozzini’s Restaurant (Upstairs), 4-45739 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack, British Columbia, V2P 6Z6, Canada
Sean Burns
Friday Oct 2 Doors 4:00 Show 5:30
Tickets $ 27.50 at Bozzini’s or call 604 792 0744 to reserve
So excited to have one of our original favourites back at Bozzini’s after way too long. Sean Burns last performed at Bozzini’s as we celebrated our 36’th Anniversary 8 years ago sharing the stage with heavy hitters Jim Byrnes & Gurf Morlix and he more than held his own. So, grab your tix & settle in for a night of country music (the real kind)
After paying tribute to Canada’s forgotten country music heroes on the 2023 covers album Lost Country—which Lonesome Highwaycalled “a contender for one of the best albums this year” and Country Music Peoplecalled “required listening”—Sean Burns is back with an all-original 10-song collection entitled Better Off In Time &Other Songs For The Dance Floor.
Recorded at Winnipeg’s No Fun Club with co-producers Skinny Dyck and Scott Franchuk, the album features Burns and his band, guitarist Chris Dunn,drummer Joanna Miller and pedal steel guitarist Dan Russell, along with several guests including legendary piano player FloydDomino (Asleep At The Wheel, Merle Haggard) who sent in his tracks from his home in Austin, Texas.For Burns, who also plays bass in Corb Lund’s Hurtin’ Albertans, making Better Off In Time…was in many ways a matter of taking care of unfinished business that was disrupted by the pandemic. Over half the songs were written in 2018 and 2019, while others came together over the past few years whenever Burns was inspired to write while on tour. In the end, the pieces fell into place once Burns had the right group of musicians and some time to record.
“I took the songs that were already mostly written and tuned them up,” he explains. “There were some lyrical and arrangement changes made, but it all came together pretty naturally. We hashed the songs out as a band, which culminated with a pair of gigs we’d booked that reallyserved as live rehearsal.We always try to capture a live feelwhen we record, but this album probably has more overdubs than other records I’ve made.
”Overall, fans of Sean’swork will be thrilled to hear him and the band continue to revitalize the sound of classic honky tonk, with song titles such as “When The Heartaches Call,” “I Do My Crying Alone” and “Lord, I Hate To See Myself This Way” speaking volumes. Indeed, the hard luck story told in the first single “Glory For Me” sets a high bar for the rest of Better Off In Time…, further accentuated by Sean’s soaring vocal performance.
“‘Glory For Me’ is one of three songs that Skinny and I co-wrote in that 2018-2019 period when we were touring together,” Sean says. “I think all the new songs touch on a similar theme of the protagonist being down and out, or at best, the underdog. Maybe we were seeing some of ourselves in these characters as we were out there grinding on the road to little or no fanfare.
”Such detail iscommon practice for Sean Burns, whose encyclopedicknowledgeof country music has been establishedthrough his long-running radio show and early thematic solo albums. While there certainly are some lyrical connections on Better Off In Time…, Sean says that if there is a theme to the album, it’s more in the overall sound.
“I fell deeper and deeper down the well of Texas dancehall country music made by artists like Johnny Bush and Amber Digby, as well as the earlier era of Ray Price and Faron Young. I was spinning a lot of that music on my radio program andwas immersed in the stylethose bands play down there. I could have gone to Texas to make this album, but I had assembled a good band at home so I thoughtwe could put our own spin on that Texas dancehall sound.
”As with all of Sean Burns’ work, it’s notnecessary to be familiar with the theme he’s presenting. The songs stand on their own as not only a reminder of what country once was, but what it will always be, the music that maintains our unbreakable human bonds.
What they’re saying…
“Sean Burns joins the growing number of under the radar independent artists who clearly love to listen to and play classic country; albeit from their own point of view with original songs and well chosen covers. Top notch music for all occasions – if those occasions demand a cool band building a head of steam on some hot songs.” – LONESOME HIGHWAY
“If modern country is no longer country, and alt-country is the new country, then where can possibly find new “old country”? The answer to to this is Sean Burns and Lost Country, who are exactly what I’ve been holding out for.” GREAT DARK WONDER
“Sean Burns is a hugely talented Canadian singer-songwriter who plays a brand of country music from way out on the left of the mainstream.” American Roots U.K.
“He puts his heart into every record and carries high the flag of honky-tonk that can now only be found in independent productions” – PLANET COUNTRY
“Burns has the raw yet smooth country vocals that pull together an album of this caliber, and the steel guitar sounds on the album are a reminder of what most modern country is missing.” – CANADIAN BEATS
“Burns captures the grittiness of troubadour life and creates a style that hits home to fans of Canadiana, Americana, Folk, Country, and Blues music world-wide.” – THE COUNTRY NOTE

Little Miss Higgins and her band usually play Bozzini’s but we’re gonna switch it up this year and welcome them at our sister venue at the Cultus Lake Pub – where there are “NO STAIRS”

The Harvest Tour 2026

Another celebration of the bounty through song and story with country blues artist Little Miss Higgins. With tunes of new and old, The Harvest Tour is a crisp reminder of what’s to come. Higgins cultivates not only a heartwarming stage show with a Manitoba Ruckus of a band, but also a traveling market feel on the merch table with LMH home grown garlic, handmade soap, and much more.

The premiere run of the Harvest Tour in 2024 had packed houses and an overwhelming response to the garlic–sold out before the tour was over. With double the crop waiting in the winter wings, Higgins cannot wait, not only to strut around onstage, but share the bounty of the harvest.

From the Great Northern Plains, Little Miss Higgins struts and serenades her way onto any stage playing music brewed in early country blues, jazz and folk. A Playing, touring, collaborating and recording for over 15 years, this musician and mother now navigates her time through performing and parenthood.

Her six independently released albums and artwork have received many awards and nominations, including a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for her latest collection of songs, MY HOME, MY HEART (2017). Recorded at The Song Shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this album’s sound remains true to Higgins’ roots, but ventures into new territory. Co-produced with Scott Nolan and engineered by Jamie Sitar of Outta Town Sound, this album is an effortless addition to her impressive body of work.

Little Miss Higgins (aka Jolene Higgins) was born in Brooks, Alberta, and raised in Independence, Kansas. Music entered her life early. “When I was about four my dad brought home an old mini-grand piano and told me it was mine. I carved my name in the side of it and then I had to start taking piano lessons.”
Higgins now uses guitar and voice as her main instruments as well as her theatre background to bring a refreshing sound and story to the stage. Higgins settled in Saskatchewan from 2002-2013 and that’s when music took the driver’s seat. Over that time she built her career touring across Canada performing in clubs, theatres and festivals.

As a songwriter and musician, Higgins has been influenced by a range of artists from Memphis Minnie and Billie Holiday to Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton as well as the vast array of Canadian and International musicians and bands she has had the fortune to see live or even share the stage including kd lang, Corb Lund, Buddy Guy and Maria Muldaur.

“Jolene Higgins aka Little Miss Higgins, has a sexy jazz cabaret voice which is almost more at home in the 1920s than it is today, yet is still timeless.” – L.A. Beat.

“It’s up to Miss Higgins to bring the sass and the sweet. The lady does not disappoint; revelling in the seamless backing which allows her to lay out the full range of her impressive vocal talents.” – Cashbox.

“Put on your finest duds and get ready for a night out on the town with this collection of country swing, elegantly understated blues and jazz, and a touch of honky-tonk thrown in for good measure. Sure, you might call this … old-timey, but it shouldn’t be perceived as a criticism, since it’s neither dated nor derivative. Everything … is as pleasantly charming as Higgins herself, and feels just as comfortable as your favourite pair of cowboy boots.” – New Music Canada.

The electrifying JW Jones returns along with his trio for 2 nights.The band sells out every year so don’t delay getting your tickets

Billboard Top 10 Blues Artist, 2020 IBC Winner, and JUNO Nominee, Canadian singer/guitarist JW-Jones is known for his high-energy shows!
After winning “Best Guitarist” at the 2020 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Jones started working on his 12th release ‘Everything Now’, an all-original project with special guestJimmie Vaughan, and production by Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar).
“Songs! It’s all about the songs!” said the JUNO-nominated Jones, whose searing axemanship has been praised in recent years by legendary blues artists Buddy Guy and Chuck Leavell (The Rolling Stones). “While there are plenty of burning lead guitar solos, I wanted to open up and get more personal than ever with the lyrics. From the true story ‘Papa’s in the Pen’ to ‘When You Left’ that I sang with tears rolling down my cheeks about my mother’s passing, these are stories that I feel like I can finally share through my music.” JW penned the entire album with Dick Cooper and Gordie.

This album features some heavyweight instrumental support; The Texas Horns, Stanton Moore, Aaron Sterling, Rob McNelly, and includes unchartered sonic territory for Jones with real stringson the exceptional ‘To Tell You The Truth (I Lied)”.The recordings were produced in Austin, Texas with multi-platinum-selling artist and producerGordie Johnson of Big Sugar, as well as in Ottawa with long-time collaborator Eric Eggleston. The frequent resident of Billboard’s Top 10 Blues charts and roots radio favourite continues toaccelerate his career momentum to new heights, whether it’s as a personally requested sit-in with the likes of 8-time Grammy winner Buddy Guy, opening for blues-rock icon George Thorogood, or entertaining thrilled audiences in 23 countries and four continents.

www.jw-jones.com / @jwjonesblues
Guitar World Magazine featured a CD called ‘Guitar Masters Vol. 2’ that put Jones alongside guitar stars B.B. King, Jimmy Page, and Carlos Santana among others, which led him to an endorsement deal with Gibson guitars.

Making his Chilliwack debut
Simon Kempston is ‘one of Scotland’s very best songwriters’ (The Herald on Sunday), a composer and ‘a master of fingerstyle guitar’ (The Scotsman) based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
There are very few artists who manage to create a sound on an acoustic guitar which is distinctive, instantly recognisable. Simon’s complex finger-picking style, which draws from the disparate genres of classical, celtic and blues (amongst others) confirms he is certainly one such artist, his subtle style providing the perfect accompaniment for his rich, powerful and compelling tenor vocals.
His outstanding songs showcase thought-provoking, inspiring poetic lyrics which often sidestep the usual themes of love and attraction, in favour of offering crucial, important political and social commentary. Fascinations with architecture, travel and English literature have all informed his impressive lyrical style, words which can stand alone as poetry in their own right apart from the music.
Live performances are well-known for their intensity, Simon’s true passion for music and songs shine through in his critically acclaimed shows. With more than a decade of international touring behind him in 32 European countries, Siberian Russia, Uzbekistan (the first Scottish artist to do so), Canada (10 tours), New Zealand, Argentina and Brazil he has performed at a countless number of esteemed venues, festivals, and on a plethora of international radio and television stations.
Simon’s latest album sees him reignite his relationship with Ian McCalman as producer and it is his most honest, direct and heartfelt collection of songs yet, the perfect companion piece for these troubled times. ‘My Dreams Are Theirs’, released in late 2024, showcases his sheer talent for songwriting of the highest order.
Never one to follow expectations, only his prolific, creative muse, in Summer 2023 Simon released his first album of classical guitar pieces, entitled ‘Moonrise Over Mostar’, following on from four previous instrumental acoustic guitar albums. Immerse yourself in the soundscape of this incredibly talented performer and allow his beautifully crafted music to transport you on a uniquely Scottish journey.

Patrick Alexandre is a Métis roots musician who pours heart and grit into every note. Whether on upright bass, guitar or harmonica, Alexandre delivers musical mastery with a voice that can move from a vulnerable and tender whisper to a soul-shaking roar as he crafts music that is both timeless and deeply personal. Drawing from old country, blues, rockabilly, and the raw edge of early rock and roll, Patrick’s sound is built on authenticity, a deep emotional well, and a love for live performance.
For more than ten years, Patrick has toured across Canada—fronting The F-holes, playing bass for Little Miss Higgins, or leading the Patrick Alexandre Trio. Along the way, he has released two solo albums, three albums with The F-holes, and co-produced the Juno-nominated Bison Ranch Recording Sessions by Little Miss Higgins, captured live off the floor in a barn built by his grandfather. Beyond his own projects, Patrick has recorded and produced more than ten albums, including work with Chicken-like Birds, Kevin Peters, and many others. His passion for authenticity often leads him to record in old spaces filled with character—churches, dance halls, schoolhouses, even an abandoned candy factory—where spontaneity and natural reverb breathe life into the songs.
As a songwriter, Patrick leans into storytelling. His music explores love, heartbreak, depression, addiction, Indigenous history, and even the mysteries of the cosmos. His latest project, Redboine, dives into the story of his Métis ancestors and their role in the Red River Resistance of 1869–70. Blending original songs with spoken word, Redboine brings history to life in a way that leaves audiences moved, and often walking away with both a new understanding and a lasting emotional connection. A recording of the show’s songs is set for release in winter 2025–26.
On stage, Patrick gives everything he has. As Sheldon Sveinson, Artistic Director of The Fire & Water Music Festival, once said: “By the time he was done, all that was left was his guts piled on the floor, and an audience, standing, cheering; insisting he do some more!”
Now based in the Kootenays, Patrick has found a new creative home in a century-old log cabin studio, where he is working on three upcoming albums—a colection of country classics, a set of all-new originals, and the long-awaited recording of Redboine.

“By the time he was done, all that was left was his guts piled on the floor, and an audience, standing, cheering; insisting he do some more!” -Sheldon Sveinson, Artistic Director at The fiRe & Water MusiC Festival

Bob Wiseman has spent four decades doing the thing festival audiences remember longest: making a room laugh, then making it go quiet. He co-founded Blue Rodeo in 1984 and left in 1992 to follow a solo path that has produced thirteen albums, more than forty film and television scores, a 350-page book, and a suitcase of Super 8 films he scores live on accordion, guitar and piano.
Along the way he discovered and produced Ron Sexsmith, Mimi Oz, Kid-in-the-Hall Bruce McCulloch, Lowest of the Low, Bob Snider, Kyp Harness, Anhai, Robert Priest, and Jess Reimer. He has toured with Feist, Owen Pallett and Kid-in-the-Hall Scott Thompson, and guested with Wilco, Edie Brickell and Eugene Chadbourne. His song “White Dress” was recorded by Serena Ryder; his themes open CBC’s Material World and Someone Knows Something.
He has taught courses in creative writing, music business and songwriting at Western University’s Don Wright Faculty of Music, Seneca Polytechnique and Toronto Metropolitan University, and was awarded his PhD by the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation in July 2026 — which is a formal way of saying no two of his sets have ever been the same.

What a Bob Wiseman concert feels like
A Bob Wiseman show is a night out, not just a set list. The audience arrives for the songs and stays for the conversation — between tunes, between keys, between laughter and the sudden, absolute quiet that falls when a room realizes it is hearing something unrepeatable.
