Across the Tracks: Graham Nicholas Live + a Dave Gunning Bonus

This week on Songwriters From Here and Away, we revisit a memorable live interview with Ontario songwriter Graham Nicholas, recorded over the railroad tracks at Alderney Landing in Nova Scotia. Graham’s storytelling, wit, and deeply observant lyrics shine in conversation and performance, painting portraits of life’s long roads and human heartaches with equal grace. To round out the hour, we’ve added a track from Dave Gunning — one of Canada’s most beloved folk voices — whose work reflects decades of craftsmanship, community connection, and storytelling rooted in everyday heroes and hard truths. Tune in for songs and stories that cross borders, generations, and emotional terrain — from live spontaneity to seasoned reflection. 🎶 Featured Artists & Links Graham Nicholas A Toronto-area folk/roots songwriter with a rich gift for character-driven narratives and evocative lyricism.
