ABOUT THE SHOW
Following is a description of the six-episode Secret Songs documentary with the name of the artist the episode is about, the song they sing and a brief description about the episode:
• Dylan Menzie, Lost in Dreams: After getting burned out on the road, Menzie was inspired to write Lost in Dreams as an homage to the place he came from and couldn’t wait to get back to. He reflects on what he’s learned about navigating anxiety and giving way to being carried along by the currents around him.
• Meaghan Blanchard, Seed Song: When she hit a wall as an artist, Blanchard had to reassess why she was making music. She stepped into a challenging new phase — relocating to a coastal family farm and giving birth to her first child. Seed Song maps the journey of discovery she is in the middle of and embraces the flourishing of new life and new artistic freedom.
• Logan Richard, Learning to Love: Richard is just getting started on a promising music career, but the death of a family friend made him look at the world through new eyes. Learning to Love explains his new perspective on taking nothing for granted with people you are close to.
• Vishtèn, Turlutte Acadienne: For Emmanuelle and Pastelle LeBlanc, kitchen parties were a regular part of life. Their musical heritage wasn’t something they had to discover — they’d been immersed in it from birth. Now, at a midpoint in their career as a band, they are exploring new opportunities and collaborations. Turlette Acadienne hints at where they’ve come from and points the way to what’s next.
• Kierrah, Sky Blue: When she arrived in P.E.I., Kierrah found herself separated from the family she relies on. Sky
Blue is a song she wrote to help herself stay afloat in a period of grief. A community of friends helped her to bring it to life.
• Tara MacLean, Love Never Dies: MacLean grew up off the grid in P.E.I. with her sister, Shaye. She charts the story of their close relationship as it winds its way through separation, reunions and moments of tragedy. Love Never Dies speaks to the underlying bond between the two of them.
