United Breaks Guitars & Other Truths: An Evening with Dave Carroll

This week on Songwriters From Here and Away, I’m thrilled to revisit a special concert and conversation with Dave Carroll — the Nova Scotia songwriter, storyteller, and social media trailblazer behind “United Breaks Guitars.”

We talk about his journey from local stages to international attention, songwriting with purpose, and how a single tune can change the world. Recorded live, this episode captures Dave’s warmth, wit, and musical range — from heartfelt ballads to folk-rock anthems that hit close to home.
