Damhnait Doyle has been a bright light on the Canadian music landscape since being discovered for her remarkable musical gift at the age of 17. Since then, she has gone on to write, perform, tour, advocate, collaborate, host, and stir up good trouble wherever she lands. 

Damhnait has released (at least) nine full length recordings as both a solo artist and a member of the groups Shaye and The Heartbroken, and has a new EP on the way. She has been the opening act on tours for the likes of Willie Nelson and Steve Earle, and is a Multiple ECMA, SOCAN, and Canadian Radio Music award winner, and a multi JUNO, CMAO and CCMA award nominee. 

Damhnait is currently the host of Mornings on CBC, bringing her musical passion, keen wit and wide-ranging knowledge of music to the airwaves every weekday from 6am-9am.

Enjoy this lively conversation with co-hosts Jane Gowan and Joel Stewart.
