Market Hall Performing Arts Centre

Acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Royal Wood is lending his considerable talents to a special charity benefit concert in Peterborough, raising funds and awareness for Our Daughters’ Home, a local organization dedicated to creating safe, permanent and supportive housing for women with developmental disabilities.

The evening will also feature rising artist Ollie Mae as the opening act, bringing together two musical talents for a concert with a meaningful purpose.

Our Daughters’ Home was founded by families determined to secure a safe and stable future for their adult daughters with developmental disabilities. Currently made up of seven families, the organization continues to grow as it connects with others facing similar challenges. Its mission is straightforward but vital: to establish immediate, permanent, supportive housing in the Peterborough area where these women can live with dignity, security and a sense of belonging.

Headlining the benefit is Royal Wood, one of Canada’s most respected independent singer-songwriters. A gifted multi-instrumentalist and producer, Wood has earned a devoted following through his distinctive voice, thoughtful songwriting and ability to move effortlessly between intimate ballads and richly arranged compositions.

His impressive career includes multiple JUNO Award nominations, five Canadian Folk Music Award nominations and three albums that debuted in the Top 30. His latest full-length studio release, What Tomorrow Brings, was submitted for consideration in the Best Folk Album category at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards.

Wood’s music has also found an international audience through television placements on popular series including Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. His recordings have attracted millions of streams, with his song A Good Enough Day surpassing four million plays on Spotify alone.

While the evening promises outstanding live music, the real purpose extends beyond the performance. For the families behind Our Daughters’ Home, the concert represents another step toward building a future in which their daughters have a place to call their own, supported by a caring community.

An evening of exceptional Canadian music supporting a cause that hits close to home.
