JOHN HEWITT DUO

There are few songwriters on the Canadian music scene today with as much stage hours as Edmonton's John Hewitt. Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and raised under the gleaming light of local mentor Rusty McCarthy (Mary Margaret O'Hara) John's teenage fingers bled six nights a week at Reggie's Tavern (One of the last places in Canada to do week long residencies). Back when you were underage and had to hang out in the kitchen on your breaks (John had a beard and got away with staying inside the club).

​

After a five year stint in the Big Smoke John packed up his memories and headed west to the land of Americana, Canadiana and everything in-between. You could say his work ethic comes from the fact that songwriting and performing is like breathing to John, there's no living without it.

John has toured the US and Canada extensively…
