In this episode of The Kingstonian Podcast, Dave speaks with a Kingston-area musician, Tom Mawhinney - songwriter, and community builder - whose journey began at Queen’s University in Kingston, in the early 1970s.

Over the decades, he has released six albums for adult listeners and three children’s albums, written more than 30 songs for choirs.

  • His work in farming, environmental stewardship, and community projects
