Canadian singer songwriter, Tenille Townes, describes her hometown as a place with a lot of blue sky and room to dream. Being in Alberta, it’s also winter there nine months of the year! But there was nothing cold about the community she grew up in, and we hear how it shaped her into the artist she is today.

We also hear about some of the most memorable places she has travelled with her music, including the school on a tiny island that inspired her song Jersey On The Wall, and the one-of-a-kind Holiday Train that rattled through Canada and gave life to her Train Track Worktapes. 

Tenille also shares stories from the road trip that changed her life; when she and her dad drove 47hours to move her to Music City! And one of the best full circle stories we’ve ever heard, featuring fellow Canadian and pop country icon, Shania Twain.
