Dan St.Yves' "Roots Resonator": Calgary Songsmiths

Along with fellow key components Nancy Laberge and Joni Delaurier (plus a few other dedicated fellow songwriters), Troy Kokol is at the heart of an amazing collective dedicated to encouraging and educating songwriters here in Calgary.

Meeting monthly at a coffee shop to offer open mics that shine a light on original compositions from beginners and veterans alike, they also bring in speakers, music industry experts, and incredible musical guests to inspire and inform their members - and all this without any fee to attend!

We mention a couple of times during this conversation how to connect with this group, but if you're a songwriter in Calgary - join their Calgary Songsmiths Facebook page, or check out their hashtag on Instagram.
