Kari Lyn Celebrates East Coast Roots on Nostalgic, Feel-Good Folk Anthem “Home”
Toronto-based, PEI-raised singer-songwriter Kari Lyn returns with “Home,” a roadtrip-ready folk anthem bursting with heart, hooks, and east coast pride. Marking her third single with producer Dan Hosh (Arkells, Wild Rivers), the track blends acoustic warmth with infectious melodies and vivid storytelling, capturing the magic of coming full circle after years of chasing something else.
Written during a songwriting session with production duo Good Grief as part of Canada’s Music Incubator, “Home” reflects on Kari Lyn’s six-year journey across 29 countries and the unexpected realization that what she was searching for had always been waiting back in PEI.
“I spent years running away from home, traveling the world, just to realize how important it was,” she shares.
The track’s rich textures – including a sneakily perfect fiddle sample and chantable la-di-da’s – mirror the song’s message: sometimes the pieces don’t make sense until you step back and take it all in.
“We wanted it to feel like people were singing along – like a kitchen party in song form,” Kari Lyn explains.
“Home” is a rally cry for anyone who’s ever left, come back, and seen it all a little differently. With her eyes on an East Coast tour and her heart firmly in the Maritimes, Kari Lyn is ready to share her story one singalong at a time.
