GOOD GRIEF PRESENTS:

THE INNER CIRCLE

Check Out Upcoming Shows Here

A one-of-a-kind writers’ round hosted by Toronto-based songwriting and production duo Good Grief (Bryn McCutcheon and Kirstyn Johnson). Set inside their on-stage living room and backed by their house band, The Inner Circle invites you behind the songs and into the heart of the writing room.

SO WHAT IS IT

Since founding Good Grief, Bryn and Kirstyn have built a creative ecosystem where artists are invited to write, heal, and reconnect with their craft—spanning immersive songwriting retreats, mentorship programs, and curated live experiences. Good Grief Presents is the stage where that ecosystem comes to life, bringing the writing room into the spotlight and celebrating the songs, stories, and community that have grown from it.

  • Good Grief Presents: The Inner Circle is located at TD Music Hall in The Allied Music Centre

  • You can find any information on upcoming shows on the TD Music Hall Website, BandsinTown, or on the Good Grief Instagram.

  • The songwriting and production duo Good Grief (Bryn McCutcheon and Kirstyn Johnson) are joined by their incredible house band: Jacob Kovacevic, Mike Celia, Kevin Howley, and Mike Tompa.

    Each installment spotlights a new group of artists from the Good Grief writing community.
