Which Side Are You On? (2025)
A 10 song solo folk record filled with deep poetry and Canadian stories of the past from Canada's first use of "Battered Spouse" as a defence, The chilling murder of Jackie Bates in Saskatchewan during the Great Depression and thoughts on the music industry. It's a true folk record for those who understand the depths of folk music.
"Dedicated simply doesn't do Hewitt justice""
-Americana UK
"With artfully crafted songs, masterful musicianship and humbled authenticity, John Hewitt is the full package and the real deal."
- Rhea March, CJSR
"A very gifted artist"
-Tony King, CKUA
"One of the hardest working musicians in Alberta"
- Tom Coxworth, Folk Routes CKUA
"He's so prolific that even his recent record is no longer a recent record!"
-Oskar Zybart, CKUA
"It’s rare for a musician to maintain a prodigious output from year to year, and even rarer to have two releases within a year and have both of them be highly acclaimed, yet that’s exactly what John Hewitt pulled off in 2023. Hewitt’s "Broken Rebels" and "Wonderlust" are among the year’s best releases"
- Chad Huculak, Edmonton Journal
"Reading Hewitt’s lyrics, one repeatedly encounters a poetic storyteller."
-Fish Griwkowsky, Edmonton Journal
