✨Song of the Week✨

John Borra - “Here in my Heart”

A longstanding and widely respected voice in Ontario’s roots, folk, and Americana scenes, recently released his new (sixth) album, Last Dance at The E Room — a project shaped by reflection, loss, and creative renewal. Last Dance at the E Room is a testament to Borra’s unwavering commitment to authenticity, his legacy in the Canadian music scene, and his ability to create art that resonates deeply with listeners. The rousing, minor-key “Here in My Heart,” one of three singles/videos from the LP, features accompaniment from keyboardist Michael Boguski and drummer Glenn Milchem, as well as band alumnus Cleave Anderson. It was also filmed at some of Borra’s favourite, enduring, independent Toronto music-club haunts, and .cameronhouse
