Serena Ryder stops by to chat about the Merry Myths Canadian Tour and what's coming in 2026.

Inspired by folklore and traditions from around the world, the Merry Myths Tour blends beloved holiday classics with Ryder’s soulful originals, exploring the rich tapestry of yuletide lore with her signature warmth and playful spirit. “Being able to sing and be together in community is a medicine that can lift our spirits and soothe our souls; especially during the holiday season (when times can feel the most tough for many),” shares Ryder. “I can’t wait to join our voices and hearts to celebrate with one another! “

Joining Ryder on stage is a handpicked ensemble of some of Canada’s most exceptional musicians: Brian Kobayakawa on bass (Jill Barber, Charlie Kaufman), Miles Gibbons on drums (The Strumbellas, Aysanabee), Christine Bougie on guitar (solo artist, Bahamas), and Lydia Persaud on vocals and acoustic strings (solo artist, Dwayne Gretzky).

A multi-platinum Canadian singer-songwriter, Serena Ryder has captivated audiences with her raw and honest songwriting, genre-defying sound, and powerhouse voice. She has earned numerous accolades, including multiple JUNO Awards, and continues to inspire with her ability to connect deeply with fans through both her recorded work and electrifying live performances.
