“A Place in the Choir” is the second single from 3x Parent’s Choice Award Winner Chris McKhool’s upcoming family album entitled “Little Leaf”.

“’A Place in the Choir’ sings of belonging, where every creature - large or small, ordinary or strange - has a note to add to life’s great chorus” says Chris. “The variety of animal voices is a metaphor for the many shapes of human difference, and reminds us that what seems odd or uncommon is beautiful when joined with others.”

This song is a celebration of community: the magic that emerges when each distinct voice, instead of being hidden, is woven into a shared harmony. Chris continues: “In today’s fractured world, where everyone is living in their silos, diversity can seem like a challenge, but is actually the very source of strength and joy in society”.

“Little Leaf” is the new family album from 3x Parent’s Choice Award Winner Chris McKhool, his first since releasing the CFMA winning and JUNO nominated “FiddleFire!” 17 years ago. The album is released on November 7, 2025 with the title cut out now.

Burlington has a rich history of arts and culture that has played a key role in the city’s success, dating back to the historical Brant Inn that featured jazz legends such as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. For years, Burlington artists and community leaders have upheld this tradition while laying the groundwork for the next generation of cultural innovators.

The Burlington Performing Arts Centre (‘BPAC’) established its Hall of Fame in 2013. Every year since then, the Hall of Fame has recognized artists who have made significant contributions to the performing arts in Burlington, including the internationally acclaimed conductor Boris Brott, and legendary Canadian comedian and broadcaster Gordie Tapp.

The latest addition to this list is Burlington-based singer-songwriter Chris McKhool. McKhool is a 7-time winner of the Canadian Folk Music Awards and a 4-time JUNO Award nominee for both his music for young people and his involvement in the band Sultans of String. He is a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient, and has received numerous awards from Folk Music Ontario, Canadian Independent Music Association and SiriusXM.
