Roots Music Barrie is excited to host multiple award winner and acclaimed East Coast songwriter Lennie Gallant on Sunday, Feb. 21.
Gallant has 16 albums of original material to his name and a long list of awards recognizing his work. His recent release Shelter From the Storms, is not only a powerful reflection on the turbulent times we live in, but also a celebration of the enduring human capacity for dealing with these times through connection, love and laughter.
Gallant was honoured with the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Award for Solo Artist of the Year, the 2026 ECMA Folk Album of the Year, and the 2026 Music PEI Folk Recording award for this remarkable album. It was also named one of the Top Ten Folk Albums of 2025 in a Roots Music critics poll and by members of the Canadian music industry.
His iconic song Peter’s Dream was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and his songwriting has reached audiences around the world – quite literally. One of his albums even accompanied astronauts aboard the International Space Station, orbiting Earth 248 times. Gallant quips that it finally gave him “high rotation worldwide!”
Over the years, he has shared the stage with symphony orchestras and performed alongside numerous well-known artists, including the late Jimmy Buffett. Gallant also performs with his partner Patricia Richard as the Francophone duo Sirène et Matelot.
A celebrated humanitarian and storyteller, Gallant was appointed to the Order of Canada, where he was honoured for songs described as “true slices of life delivered with a poet’s flair and a rugged emotional sensibility.”
