In an exciting transatlantic collaboration, alt-folk Canadian Mia Kelly and British singer-songwriter Blair Dunlop will embark on a series of intimate performances in the winter of 2025. Having met in Kansas City in 2023 Blair Dunlop and Mia Kelly found an instant connection through their songwriting. This led to them co-writing Mia’s single – Meaning Well, a standout track from her sophomore album “To Be Clear” released in October 2024. The single received a nomination for Single of the Year for the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Awards. On the heels of the emergence of this song, and with mutual interest to continue touring in each other’s countries, Blair invited Mia as special guest for five intimate shows in the UK in February 2025. Mia returns the favour as they tour Ontario a few weeks later.
