Juno-nominated singer and songwriter Dayna Manning exemplifies the very best that Canadian folk music can be. Manning's three-decade career has taken her from coast to coast in many forms, from major label recording artist to independent producer and engineer. As a modern renaissance artist, Dayna will debut her memoir Many Moons along with the sweets sounds of her chamber-folk project in the fall of 2019 on her new album, Morning Light. She is already starting to work with several Canadian songwriters on her next book.

"Dayna Manning's memoir Many Moons is a journey in song. It's a time capsule in lyrics. It's liner notes amplified to the tune of a life in music. She lets us behind the curtain of her origin, and chapter after chapter weaves the melodic tapestry of her life's blueprint."
