The much anticipated fourth album from Aaron Goodvin is coming in 2025! Following up the latest line dance sensation “Country Dance,” with over 2 million streams and counting, and the catchy romp “Written All Over It,” Aaron Goodvin releases “Your Time to Stay” this fall followed by the album release in February 2025 with additional tracks “Said No Redneck,” “Not Too Much to Hate About That,” and the title track “Drinkin’ Hand.” Each song is a journey through Aaron’s life, both lighthearted and heartbreakingly serious, telling of the challenges and celebrations that led to becoming a new father with a new outlook, and a new album in the works. With his evocative storytelling and compelling melodies, listeners recognize themselves as they laugh, cry, and sing along.As a sought-after songwriter, penning songs for Luke Bryan, Jon Pardi and Cole Swindell, Aaron has always written based on an autobiographical perspective but initially thought “Your Time to Stay” would be a standout track for another artist as it was not something he had yet experienced. He recently reflected, “When I first wrote “Your Time to Stay" with Forrest Finn and Lauren McLamb, I thought it was a huge song for someone else. It wasn’t until a few months later that I realized I had written a chapter from my own life. All relationships have ups and downs, and my wife V and I certainly had ours. It’s a miracle we are where we are today, still together, and closer than ever with a beautiful daughter who has completely changed our lives forever.” After performing the song live, fans reached out with similar stories and shared how “Your Time to Stay” encouraged them to keep their own relationships together for the right reasons.The Alberta-born, Nashville-based artist co-produced the new project, teaming up with seasoned talents Skip Black, Chris Utley, and Andrew Capra and joining forces once again with acclaimed producer Matt McClure who rounded out the esteemed line up of collaborators on the project, building up to Aaron’s most personal collection to date.Oh yes, ecstatic fans continue to enjoy the bona fide anthem “Lonely Drum,” a double-platinum global juggernaut that radio host Bobby Bones championed on his internationally syndicated show. And now Aaron Goodvin adds to his repertoire of three previous albums - that earned him 13 CCMA nominations, a CCMA Songwriter of the Year Award win, a prestigious JUNO Award Album of the Year nomination and garnered well over 106 million total streams worldwide - with a collection of songs that tells the next chapter in his life. And the best is yet to come with shows across Canada, the US, and Europe in support of the impactful new single, “Your Time to Stay” and the upcoming EP titled “Drinkin’ Hand” set for release in February 2025.Highlights Over 106 million total streams 2x’s #1 singles in Canada “Boy Like Me” and “You Are” 6 Top 10 singles in Canada Double-Platinum certification on “Lonely Drum” 13-time CCMA Nominee and 2018 CCMA Winner/Songwriter of the Year for “Lonely Drum” Songwriter cuts by Luke Bryan, Jon Pardi, Cole Swindell, Josh Gracin, Aaron Pritchett and Nice Horse

I think that’s an idea a lot of people are going to relate to.”In addition to penning and recording some of the strongest material of his career, Chris recently signed with Anthem Music Publishing, as well as new record label Sakamoto Music, distributed by Warner Music Canada.“After almost two years of writing and working harder than ever, that’s a really rewarding thing to be able to share,” he said, adding he’s been lucky enough to have a great relationship with the entire Sakamoto Agency Team over the years. “I’m so excited for this next chapter in my career, and I can't wait for everyone to hear some of the new music I've recorded with award-winning producers Jeremy Stover/Julian King and Dan Swinimer.”RADIO & STREAMING - Over 10 Million Streams on Spotify alone, with over 1.6 million listeners - Over 1.5 million streams on ALL IN Album - Latest single to radio “Holy Ground” released August 2019, featured at #19 on Country Radio Hits Playlist (Apple Music), debuted in Yangaroo’s Most Active Indies for several weeks, and appears on over 700 Spotify-curated & personal playlists - “Holy Ground” music video premiered on TheBoot.com - 5 Top 40 hits: "Good Ol Days", "That's When You Know", “Sun Sets Down”, “Leave Your Light On” “Giddy Up” - 1 Top 20 hit: "That's When You Know" (#1 most added radio single for 3 weeks & 6 mos. on SiriusXM’s “Top 10 Most Wanted”) - Currently in the Top 30 most played Canadian country artists on Spotify and CBC Country/SiriusXM - Over 800,000 views on Youtube and over 44,000 social media follows/likes (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) - “That’s When You Know” Video Premiered on CMT Canada & CMT.ca, and song trended on Shazam with over 38,000 followersHIGHLIGHTS - Featured at BreakOut West, JUNOfest, East Coast Music Awards, Country Music Association of Ontario Awards - ALL IN Album Artwork nominated for 2019 CCMA Creative Director of the Year (Feisty Creative) - Seven BCCMA Nominations in 2019 for Entertainer of The Year, Group or Duo of The Year, Interactive Artist of The Year, Album of The Year, Single of The Year (Good Ol’ Days), Songwriter of The Year, and Video of The Year (Good Ol’ Days) - Four BCCMA Nominations in 2018 for Entertainer of the Year, Fans' Choice, Group of the Year, Interactive Artist of The Year - Winners of the 2017 British Columbia Country Music Award (BCCMA) for Album of the Year - Nominated for Video of the Year at the 2017 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) - MusicBC Featured Artists at The 2017 Whistler Film Festival - Three-time Winners (2014, 2015 & 2016) of the BCCMA for Club Act of the Year - Three BCCMA Nominations in 2016 for Group of the Year, Video of the Year and Song of the Year - Winners of 1st prize in the Nashville 2016 UnSigned Only songwriting contest - Winners of the 2015 BCCMA for Group/Duo of the Year

Those who know country artist Kalsey Kulyk will tell you she’s always had musical talent and a passion for performance. Her effortlessly bright and unmistakable vocal, paired with thought-provoking lyrics and overall messaging, is something most songwriters never master. “My friends say I make people cry. I don’t want to make anyone cry, I just want to make them feel something. After my parents’ divorce, my dad would listen to ‘Nobody Knows It But Me’ by Kevin Sharp, over and over again. I knew exactly what he was feeling without him telling me what he was feeling. That’s when I knew what music could do for people. That’s what I want to do for people.”Kulyk’s Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan upbringing yielded a more organic way of life. “My whole family worked at the Plywood Mill and farmed in their spare time.” Though most of Kulyk’s family wasn’t musically inclined, the love of music was instilled in her at an early age, with family campfire sing-alongs a popular past time. Her mother was the exception. “My mom would sing at talent shows, and I’d just watch her - completely mesmerized.” At age three, with some encouragement from her grandfather, Kulyk’s mom put her on stage at a talent show and she was hooked. “That was it. Music was all wanted to do from that point on.”Over the next several years, Kulyk took part in hundreds talent shows and competitions. “I traveled all around the middle provinces with my mom, performing at different venues and competitions.” At 13, Kulyk’s mom bought her a guitar and taught her daughter to play. Shortly after, she won her first competition. “I’d written my first song on the guitar and won $2,000 to put toward recording costs. I was shocked. I heard my name, and I didn’t respond - I was so used to hearing ‘no.’ It took them a few shout outs before I realized I had won.”Then everything changed.In high school, Kulyk was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and underwent six months of chemotherapy. “I lost all my hair, but got a lot of song inspiration, because there were a lot of people I got to meet during chemo. I’d run home and write about their incredible stories. I had to get it all out, and I wanted to give that voice to people.” When she got sick, Kulyk was on the fence about what direction to take her life after high school, but the experience solidified Kulyk’s belief in a career in music. “What is life unless you’re doing what you love every single day?” Now ten years in remission, Kulyk says “I always tell people I was super blessed to get cancer, which sounds kind of crazy, but it’s true.” Shortly after her recovery, Kulyk became acquainted with Fleetwood Mac producer Richard Dashut who invited her to Las Vegas to record. “We’d write songs, talk about performances - we even pulled a band together and did some shows on the Vegas strip. He literally trained my ears.” It was also Dashut who gave Kulyk her first taste of Music City. “We did a cross-country road trip to Nashville to take some meetings. There’s such a creative blanket over Nashville - it’s everywhere. It’s such an inspiring place to be.”Her progress in the creative capital didn’t go unnoticed - Kulyk was invited to participate in both the Canadian Country Music Association’s Discovery Artist program, as well as ole’s “On the Spot” competition. She won both. “I’ll never forget it. The finals for both contests were the day of the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMAs). That afternoon, I performed my song for ole “On the Spot”, and won. That night, at the CCMAs, the winner of the Discovery Artist program was announced - and I won again. It was surreal. It was a dream.”Winning the ole contest came with both publishing and record deals, and Kulyk found herself back in Nashville to launch her career, which has already brought some amazing moments - like writing her song “Damn You Love” with Liz Rose (Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” Carrie Underwood’s “Cry Pretty”) and Phil Barton (Lee Brice’s “Woman Like You,” Eli Young Band’s “Skin and Bones”).“Liz Rose has been on my bucket list as a songwriter since I was sixteen years old. So to be able to get into a room with her… I was pretty star struck, but super grateful. I couldn’t believe it was happening.”A lot more is about to happen for this songstress, who is working on new music to be released this year. “I’m really excited about the music that I have now. I feel it really encompasses everything about me, and who I am, and what I want to give to my audience. I grew up around a lot of old school and ‘90’s country music - Lee Ann Womack, John Prine, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell… And I think that can be heard in the overall style of my music.”

Originally a 5-piece band from the Ottawa Valley, the River Town Saints have a lot to show for the last couple of years, including; millions of YouTube views and Spotify streams, a top 10 hit with their single, “Bonfire,” CCMA nominations, CMAO and Canadian Radio Music Awards, tours with Tim Hicks, Kip Moore and large-scale festivals. Known for their energetic live show, rich vocal harmonies and good times, the Saints were just getting started.When their original singer departed in 2018, and months later, their bassist and best friend Daniel Di Giacomo died tragically at 31, it would have been understandable to throw in the towel.Not a chance.Remaining members Jeremy Bortot, Chris McComb and Jordan Potvin, got to work writing songs and looking for a new lead singer. As fate would have it, newcomer Chase Kasner fit the bill. Kasner hails from Kirkland Lake, Ontario, where he was raised in a large musical family. Country music runs deep in his blood, given his grandmother, Mary Bailey, was an accomplished Canadian country singer who also discovered and mentored Shania Twain early on in her career. Lifelong friend Joe Patrois was the final piece to complete the group. An ally of the band since the beginning and a gifted bassist, it only made sense for Joe to humbly continue on in Dan’s place.With a powerful, soulful new voice to helm the group, combined with a renewed determination to pick up where they left off, RTS is reborn, recharged and ready.

They started writing songs together and formed the band, adding Doc De Groot on lead guitar and Jay Der on drums. Initially a cover band, they solidified their lineup and original sound. Bassist Mike Nash was the last to join, bringing unique influences from his father's eclectic music taste and record collection.The Prairie States' music is characterized by its "Arena Country" style—big vocals, duelling guitars, and narrative-rich lyrics. Their creative process is collaborative, with each member contributing different elements. Cardinal starts with a guitar hook or melody, Dick with lyrical ideas, and Nash with vocal melodies, forming a dynamic songwriting team.Their new single, “Not So Much No More,” is set to be the official breakup anthem of the summer, showcasing their evolving sound and dedication to continually raising the bar. With themes like love, loss, second chances, and the relentless pursuit of dreams, The Prairie States craft songs that are both personal and universally relatable.Looking ahead, The Prairie States are excited about upcoming releases and potential collaborations. Their goal is clear: to keep making great music, playing big stages, and connecting with fans worldwide. Their live shows are a testament to their commitment to their audience, ensuring every concert is an unforgettable experience.Reflecting on their career, the band takes pride in their growth, the connections with their audience, and their ability to inspire. They hope their legacy will be one of resilience, passion, and a profound impact on the music industry and their listeners. With sights set on international tours and creating the soundtrack to their fans' lives, The Prairie States are just getting started on their remarkable journey.
