Glimpse Productions used their SNAP! funding to produce Glimpse Into the Heart of a Singer-Songwriter LIVE on August 30, 2024 at the Rec Room Square One, which brought together local talent and over 120 attendees in a celebration of Mississauga’s singer-songwriter community.
The event offered an intimate evening of raw, heartfelt performances, emphasizing the power of vulnerability and storytelling in songwriting. With seven musical acts and an additional six musicians supporting, the showcase highlighted Mississauga’s talented music scene. Featured performers included Natalie G (opener), Adina V, Alessia Cohle, Melanie Cabral, Cassidy Taylor, Andrew Wilson, and Matt Zaddy.
“To me, showcasing local singer-songwriters is about the amplification of an art that has the power to bring people together. We can truly change the world one song at a time by building community through a shared appreciation of the vulnerability within lyrics that remind us of our shared stories. GLIMPSE INTO THE HEART OF A SINGER-SONGWRITER- LIVE MUSIC SHOWCASE exceeded all my expectations. The energy in the room was undeniably incredible! Together, everyone in attendance accomplished something really special that evening!”

Sharing your own personal work as a songwriter can feel intimidating and vulnerable, but the
space Rob created felt safe and welcoming. It encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone
and share some of my most personal songs, ultimately helping me grow as a performer and
musician.”
