Starting in the summer of 2009, Southern Souls began by capturing unique performances by musicians that call southern Ontario home. Seeing musicians play in the places that they live and breathe, places they themselves have chosen—in the street, in a store, in a kitchen or bedroom—is almost a homecoming for the music itself, returning it to the places in which it started.

Southern Souls is self-funded—it’s done for the love of music.

Much like the music it’s captured, Southern Souls has branched out beyond southern Ontario, recording the performances of all sorts of souls.

Southern Souls takes its inspiration from La Blogoteque's Take Away Shows, and Just So's Black Cab Sessions, and is recorded and edited by Mitch Fillion.

Mitch recently had the chance to work with La Blogotheque on their Canada portion of the Black XS Take Away Show series which can be viewed here.
