Your Host: Lisa Sheppard

Lisa is a singer-songwriter and musician from Montreal. She started writing songs as a teenager—a passion that still lights her up today. She studied classical and jazz guitar at Vanier College. She also studied piano, bass, and arranging independently. Lisa co-founded the OKChorale community choir and co-lead it until end of 2023. She released an acoustic, solo album of originals songs in 2000. Her latest EP To Being is out now.

The Montreal Songwriters' Circle is dedicated to supporting songwriters in honing their craft. The events foster creativity, accountability, and meaningful connections within the songwriting community.

I got to share a bit about my workshops and love of songwriting on CBC’s Daybreak!
