Artist: Dean Brody
Hometown: Jaffray, BC
Genre: Country
Related: Dallas Smith, Emerson Drive, High Valley
Song: Bucket List
Notes: Dean Brody may be the best in country music when it comes to signing drinking songs that aren’t obnoxious and over the top. Bucket List is the latest in the library, and if you’re looking for a late-summer addition to your backyard party playlist, this is it. Atta be, Dean.

Artist: JJ Wilde
Hometown: Kitchener, ON
Genre: Rock
Related: The Beaches, Emily Wolfe, Crown Lands
Song: Best Boy
Notes: JJ Wilde is one of the biggest new stars in Canadian rock and roll. She’s topped the charts, made history, and now she’s back for more. Best Boy is JJ’s first single since the release of her album Ruthless, and it’s a banger. With a stunning video to go along with it, the track flips the narrative on its head and lets Wilde and women take the lead in their story and do whatever the hell they want. Turn it up, rock out, and be ready to celebrate JJ Wilde as she takes over the rock and roll scene.

Artist: Donovan Woods
Hometown: Sarnia/Toronto, ON
Genre: Singer-Songwriter / Roots
Related: Dan Mangan, Wold Rivers, Craig Cardiff
Song: Seeing Other People
Notes: Seeing Other People comes as a pre-release single from Donovan Woods upcoming album, Without People (November 6, 2020) and the award-winning singer-songwriter goes right for the feelings again on this one. Woods is one of the premiere writers in the country, and when he sings his own songs and puts the feelings into them that he hears when we writes them, he doesn’t miss. Be ready for feelings.

Artist: Roman Clarke
Hometown: Winnipeg, MB
Genre: Pop
Related: Joey Landreth, The Bros Landreth, The Middle Coast
Song: Scared Of Everything
Notes: We’ve been in on Roman Clarke for the last few years now, always waiting to see what’s next. Scared Of Everything lands on us now as a pop jam from the Winnipeg artist, and we’re still in. As a writer, musician, and writer, Clarke isn’t afraid to try new things (contrary to the song’s title) and if there’s more like this coming on an album or EP in the future, we’ll be ready for it. You should be too.

Genre: Pop
Related: Allison Leah, Sonia D, Jill Winter
Song: 3’s A Crowd
Notes: Madison Olds drops a fun one for a Friday if you’re looking for something to dance to, sing-along with form the B.C. pop singer. 3’s A Crowd is a groove that moves from start to finish and is just a straight up good time. Enjoy.
