“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.”

Henry David Thoreau

Welcome to my notebook. This is a place to connect with a community of fellow wanderers, looking to find more of ourselves, and more love, along our way. I’ll be sharing my journal entries, my songs and the creative process behind them, behind the scenes moments on the road, my 100 new things challenge, thoughts on a napkin, poetry, and whatever else we come up with together.

I hope you’ll join our community! Participate in the comments section, send in questions or song requests, or support this work with a subscription.

ABOUT TENILLE TOWNES

For Tenille Townes, writing songs is a way of reaching out to anyone longing to make sense of a wildly confusing world. In the last five years alone, the Canada-born artist’s full-hearted and soul-searching songwriting has led to such milestones as touring with legends like Stevie Nicks, Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain and taking home two JUNO Awards — all while building up a globe-spanning fanbase irresistibly drawn to her intensely honest storytelling. With her many accolades also including 17 Canadian Country Music Association Awards and two Academy Of Country Music Awards, the Nashville-based rising star now begins a bold new chapter with her most fully realized work to date: a gorgeously sculpted batch of songs that bring a moodier and more unfettered sound to her compassionate lyrical outpouring.
