Celebrating Irish heritage through the songs and stories of three Canadian folk legends
Three Roads Home brings together three of Canada’s most beloved singer-songwriters — James Keelaghan, Irish Mythen and Stephen Fearing — for an unforgettable evening of songs, stories, and shared heritage. All three artists draw on deep Irish roots that continue to shape their music, storytelling, and sense of identity.
While grounded in the Canadian folk tradition, their songs echo the melodies, language, and spirit of Ireland — a thread woven through their songwriting and stage presence. From rebel ballads and poetic laments to heartfelt reflections and moments of laughter, Three Roads Home is a celebration of Irish cultural influence and its enduring legacy in Canadian music.
Together on stage, these three acclaimed artists create an intimate, moving experience — a journey through personal history, musical kinship, and the timeless power of song to connect people across generations and oceans.
James Keelaghan is one of Canada’s most respected singer-songwriters, celebrated for his rich storytelling and eloquent contemporary folk songs. With a career spanning nearly four decades, he has earned a JUNO Award, multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards, and international acclaim for a body of work that blends historical narratives with timeless human themes. Songs such as Cold Missouri Waters, Hillcrest Mine, and Kiri’s Piano have become modern folk standards, praised for their lyrical depth and emotional resonance.
Often described as “Canada’s finest songwriter” (Rolling Stone’s Dave Marsh), Keelaghan’s artistry balances poetic beauty with historical insight, making his performances as enlightening as they are moving. He has collaborated with acclaimed artists including Oscar Lopez, Oliver Schroer, Catherine MacLellan, and David Francey, and continues to captivate audiences from Canada to Australia. A commanding presence on stage, Keelaghan invites listeners into stories that span generations, cultures, and continents.
Irish Mythen (They/Them) is a globally acclaimed artist known for their raw vocal power, magnetic stage presence, and ability to forge deep connections with audiences. Originally from Ireland and now based in Prince Edward Island, Canada, Irish’s career highlights include a JUNO nomination, multiple award wins, and performances at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House and Glastonbury Festival. Irish’s groundbreaking album Little Bones propelled them to global recognition, earning a 2020 JUNO Award nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, seven Music PEI 2020 nominations (including two wins), and the 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award for Solo Artist of the Year. Their previous self-titled album also received widespread accolades, including recognition from Music PEI, the East Coast Music Association, Folk Alliance International, and SOCAN.
Their music and artistry have been featured in Rolling Stone, Australian Guitar Magazine, and numerous other influential media outlets, cementing their reputation worldwide.
Irish Mythen’s live shows are unforgettable—immersing audiences in a whirlwind of emotion, stories, and unparalleled artistry that leave a lasting impact.
Stephen Fearing is a master storyteller and one of Canada’s most respected songwriters.
