About Us

Bringing Music to Your Doorstep, Connecting Artists & Communities, One Route at a Time!

Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous was founded in 2007 with the direct purpose of building more infrastructure for Folk Musicians to play more concerts in more communities across Canada. This was achieved by partnering with local community members to create a network of hosts across the country who donate their time and homes, or find appropriate venues to host music events in intimate and unique settings.

We know that music has the power to unite, inspire, and create unforgettable moments, where every note finds a home, and every community becomes a stage; where music is not just heard; it’s felt. Whether you’re hosting, performing at or attending one of our concerts, let’s create harmonious moments that resonate in the hearts of communities.
