🎙️ This week on When The Music Mattered, we sit down with indie singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mike Haggith—an artist whose journey spans Windsor, Sault Ste. Marie, Thompson, and now Barrie. Each city left its imprint on his sound and his sense of community, and Mike shares how those experiences shaped him as both a musician and a mental-health advocate.

We dive into the surprise release of Bridges (2021), a record born out of isolation and self-reflection in Thompson, and the powerful imagery behind The Nature Of The Times video. Mike opens up about his unique writing process—balancing upbeat grooves with deeply introspective lyrics—and walks us through how he decides what to keep raw and what to polish in the studio.

From pushing through a freak knee dislocation at Rotaryfest, to launching MorningStar Records as a new model for indie collaboration, to his commitment to mental-health advocacy for artists in remote and smaller markets, Mike proves that his tagline—“just an honest guy with his guitar, sending love from the 44th Parallel”—is more than just words. It’s his mission.

Tune in for an honest, inspiring, and heartfelt conversation.
