Two of the most compelling voices in contemporary folk—Mia Kelly (Canada), returning after opening for Good Lovelies last year, and Blair Dunlop (UK), also returning to artsPlace —continue their cross-continental collaboration this fall, bringing their tour to Western Canada and select cities in Ontario and Quebec.

Earlier this year, Kelly and Dunlop performed to captivated audiences across Ontario and Quebec following a UK tour that saw Kelly as Dunlop’s special guest. This next leg of their Canadian journey builds on that success, offering fans another opportunity to see each artist perform solo sets while celebrating their creative connection.

After meeting at Folk Alliance International in Kansas City in 2023, the two award-winning songwriters co-wrote Meaning Well, featured on Kelly’s CFMA-nominated album To Be Clear (2024). Their on-stage chemistry and shared storytelling instincts have struck a chord with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

Blair Dunlop

Blair Dunlop is an award-winning British singer-songwriter and guitarist, who has released 5 albums, 2 EPs and toured around the globe. Blair burst onto the scene with his debut album ‘Blight & Blossom’ in 2012, showcasing virtuosic musicianship and lyrical maturity, and was awarded a prestigious BBC Folk Award in the wake of its release. A string of critically acclaimed albums followed, along with headline tours and festival appearances in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. ‘Gilded’ and ‘Notes from an Island’ were released on his own label and singles ‘The Egoist’ and ‘356’ received national playlist status on BBC Radio 2. Following this, ‘Trails: Queensland’ (2021), Blair’s first live album, documented a tour of rural Australia, playing for isolated communities.

Mia Kelly

Through the lush folk and earthy Americana of her sophomore record To Be Clear, Mia Kelly establishes herself as a spellbinding voice, blurring the lines between intimate memoir and compelling semi-fictional narratives. Performing in both French and English, Kelly enthralls listeners with a distinctive blend of Folk, Rock, and Blues. Recently awarded Young Performer of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Kelly is swiftly gaining recognition as a poetic lyricist and is making her mark in the Canadian folk music scene.
