JORY NASH – THE LIGHT STILL SHINES ON THE MAIN.

This week, JORY NASH THE LIGHT STILL SHINES ON THE MAIN.

October 24, 2025 - After stepping away from music in 2019, acclaimed folk singer-songwriter Jory Nash returns with his 10th album, The Light Still Shines On The Main, co-produced with longtime friend Chris Stringer (The Wooden Sky, Elliott Brood, Timber Timbre, Megan Bonnell, Holly McNarland).

The road to this record has been anything but easy. In 2019, Nash experienced a breakdown that led him to quit music, facing depression and financial struggles. The pandemic

compounded these struggles, and in early 2021, his partner, Brittany, was diagnosed with multiple cancers, beginning an intensive journey through chemotherapy and surgeries. That
summer, a fire damaged their Toronto rental, prompting a move to Cobourg, ON, where Brittany
could focus on recovery and their young son could start kindergarten. “This album is about
coming through the darkness,” says Nash. “It’s about hope, resilience, loss, and finding beauty
in new beginnings.”
