Every year, the Juno Songwriter's Circle brings together the best songwriters in Canada to share songs and stories on stage. This year, host Dan Mangan was joined by fellow 2012 Juno Award nominees David Francey and Lindi Ortega and Juno winners Terri Clark (country album of the year), Kiran Ahluwalia (world music album of the year) and Max Kerman of the Arkells (group of the year). Here are some of the best songs from the event, held in Ottawa on Sunday afternoon before the Juno ceremony.
