Peterborough singer-songwriter Hillary Dumoulin is returning to the Market Hall stage for a special evening of music, reflection and fresh beginnings, joined by guest opener Grainne Ryan and The Knight Riders.

For Dumoulin, this isn’t simply another concert. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with audiences after years of writing, performing and navigating the twists and turns of life, all of which have helped shape a renewed musical direction.

Known for her heartfelt songwriting and emotionally honest performances, Dumoulin has built her music around the experiences that connect us all: love, heartbreak, family, resilience and the sometimes complicated business of figuring out who we are.

Motherhood and the changes that come with it have added new perspectives to her songwriting, bringing a fresh sense of purpose to material that has always been deeply personal.

Her upcoming Market Hall performance will span her musical career, revisiting familiar favourites while introducing audiences to new songs, including her latest single, “CALL IT LOVE,” and selections from her forthcoming album, COME ONE, COME ALL.

And while intimate storytelling remains at the heart of her music, this time around she’s bringing some serious musical firepower.

Dumoulin will be backed by an impressive lineup of local talent, including Emily Burgess, Chris Hiney, Marcus Browne, Jeremy Spencley and Chris Collins. Together, they’ll give her songs the full-band treatment, adding new layers of energy, texture and musical depth.

The evening will open with Grainne Ryan and The Knight Riders, setting the stage for a night that celebrates the strength and diversity of Peterborough’s homegrown music community.

Market Hall, with its intimate atmosphere and rich musical history, provides a fitting setting for an artist whose songs are built on connecting with an audience rather than simply entertaining one.

For longtime fans, it’s a chance to hear how Dumoulin’s music has evolved. For newcomers, it’s an introduction to a songwriter who understands that some of the best material comes from living through the things you never planned.

Tickets: $35
Doors: 6:30 PM
