The Heart of Songwriting Retreat
July 15-19, 2026
North EastonNorth Easton is an accomplished performer and award-winning Canadian songwriter with an aptitude for writing evocative, thought-provoking lyrics and melodies. This, coupled with his powerful, heartfelt vocals, delivers a listening and visual experience that is not only emotional but it gets into your soul. “A performance to me is a journey into the storybook of my heart. What I’ve seen, felt and taken part in. I am caught up in the spell of creativity and fascinated by the human condition and the stage is a place where I can fearlessly share those feelings with a live audience…I love it!” With 6 studio albums, 1000’s of shows under his belt including International performances, music on U.S. Syndicated T.V., and a number of songwriting accolades, North shows no signs of slowing down. Much of his music can be found online, but if you have not caught one of his live shows, up close and personal, that is where the true magic of his craft lives. North Easton is a modern day Bard with an anthology that continues to grow. |
