Hey everyone! This week, we're doing something a little different. Instead of our regular On The Porch episode, we're bringing you a full episode of our limited series, mastered. The Business of Music.

mastered. pulls back the curtain on the music industry, with real conversations about labels, touring, booking, and what it actually takes to build a career as an artist. It's all about giving you practical, real-world advice from people working in the business every day.

We're excited to share this episode with you, and don't worry. We'll be back with our regular On The Porch format next week. You can also head over to the mastered. feed to catch the rest of the series.

Patrick Guay is a booker and promoter based in Montreal who works with Evenko, one of Canada's leading live entertainment companies. He's behind some of the biggest festivals in the country, including Lasso, Osheaga, and Ilesoniq, as well as roughly 1,600 shows a year across arenas and clubs throughout Quebec and Atlantic Canada.

In this episode, Patrick and Jenna dig into what it actually takes to get booked on a major festival stage and why most artists aren't thinking about it the right way.

They talk about how bookers evaluate artists, why ticket sales matter more than social media numbers, the importance of building your market from the ground up, and what a realistic path to a big stage actually looks like. Patrick also shares how he got his start in the industry, what he looks for when an artist pitches him, and why relationships and reputation go a long way in a music scene as small as Canada's.

If you've ever wondered how to get on a festival lineup, or whether you're actually ready, this one is a must-listen.

From the voice that brought you the On The Porch theme song, is our 100th episode with Owen Riegling. 

If you have been listening since the early days, we did proclaim our 100th episode would be with Shania Twain, we even called it the "Road to Shania". Somewhere along the way we got distracted by all of the incredibly talented artists across Canada.

We're thrilled to be celebrating our 100th episode with Owen. He has a lot to show for the last four years. From recording in his parents' driving shed with a handful of self-produced songs out - to a record deal, publishing deal, years of touring under his belt, multiple CCMA Awards and two albums. I'm sure I missed something. Oh yes - he made his Grand Ole Opry debut April 22nd.

We caught up on all the crazy that has been Owen's life the last few years. 

We've got Owen slotted for episode 200, in real life, on a front porch, with a bottle of whiskey.

Brettyn Rose grew up in Okotoks, Alberta. A very small town girl who enjoys the quiet, she now calls High River home. Just close enough to get to Calgary for gigs, but far enough away from the city to enjoy peace, quiet, and no traffic.

Finding out pretty early that sports weren't for her, but music was, Brettyn started her music journey sitting at the piano. She began singing, and eventually picked up guitar.

Brettyn released her first single in 2019 and has been an emerging independent artist since, slowly building, releasing singles, and playing live shows.

Brettyn is also a 2025 SiriusXM Top of the Country alumni. Brettyn was nominated Horizon Female Artist and Songwriter of the Year (Wild West), at the Country Music Alberta Awards this year. 

We talked about her education, and how it lends itself to music, some of her bucket list items as an artist, West Coast festivals that she's played and would love to play, and more.

Mike Denney has spent over 30 years in the music industry, working at major labels like Sony Music and Universal Music Canada before founding MDM Recordings.

In this episode, Mike and Jenna dive into what labels are actually looking for when they sign artists — and what it really takes to be ready for that moment.

They talk about building a strong foundation as an independent artist, the importance of work ethic, developing your brand and identity, and why not every artist is ready for radio or a record deal as early as they think.

Mike also shares insight into how the industry spots emerging talent, common mistakes artists make, and why patience, consistency, and long-term thinking are key to building a sustainable career.

This week, Jenna sat down with Braden Lam for coffee and a conversation about his career in music.

Braden grew up in Uxbridge, Ontario, but has called Halifax home for a decade. He headed East to go to school for Biology & Environmental Science at Dalhousie. He immersed himself in the Halifax and East Coast music scene, and has enjoyed living next to the Atlantic ever since.

Braden was first introduced to our radars when he was a semifinalist in SiriusXM's Top of the Country contest but has been cutting his teeth since his university years.

RELATED: Braden Lam is a Front Porch Artist to Watch in 2026...

We talked a lot about his debut album The Cloudmaker's Cry, which is a nod to the difficulty of navigating early adulthood. We also talked about the side quest business he and his wife started during the pandemic (listen to find out). 

We talked about Folk as a genre and finding his sound through some of the late 2000s, early 2010s folk music. His sound balances these influences with some contemporary country.

Braden's exciting announcement recently was his signing of a major record deal with Universal Music Cananda! He's excited to be working with a large team and working on his next album.

Braden is currently on tour with School House for the Freewheelin' Field Trip tour for March.

On this episode of On The Porch, Danielle shares her journey through church stages, musical theatre, and The Next Star, how she taught herself guitar to tell her own stories, and what it felt like hearing her music on the radio for the first time.

We talk family support, songwriting with her brother, releasing her first (Christmas!) single, and the work ethic that comes from growing up on a farm.

High Valley has been around …a lot longer than you think! The family band started long before their first album in 2010. 

We chatted with Brad Rempel about the early days of High Valley, as in when he was just four years old, and where the band is today. 

High Valley has become a household name across Canadian country music families. From hits like “Grew Up On That”, “Make You Mine”, and “She’s With Me”, the band has collected accolades over the years spanning across not just Canada, but the United States as well. They’ve been nominated for ACM, CMT and JUNO Awards and have earned multiple CCMA Awards. 

Brad recently scored his first US number one as a songwriter on Josh Ross’ “Single Again”. We chatted about this, along with his balance with being a football dad and artist, and the compromise he made very early in his career to be a parent first.

The band hits the road for all of March across Canada on the Paradise & Hurricanes tour.

Tenille Townes is one of Canada's most decorated Country music artists. With 17 Canadian Country Music Awards, 2 JUNO Awards, and 2 Academy of Country Music Awards, she has navigated the the music industry for over ten years.

Her breakout single "Somebody's Daughter" has been a mainstay in Canadian country music. We talked about the timeless impact of this and "Jersey on the Wall". 

We also talked about the roller coaster of a year she's had, transitioning back to being an independent artist, and the feelings around that. She's really felt the sense of community and embrace from her fans during this transition.

Tenille's newest single "enabling" is a self-produced, stripped back song that kicks off a new chapter, with an album in the works for sometime this year.

Tenille will be hitting the road for the "Living Room Tour" this spring; just a girl and her guitar.

School House is a folk band from Ottawa comprised of Joel, Mitch, and Dave. It's hard to sum up how their friendship's all connected and led them to become roommates and live in an old school house - but they tell us everything in our episode of the podcast.

From the drum kit in the living room, to exploring the attic and finding an old box of clothes; to that box of clothes becoming part of their identity.

The band recorded their first album right inside the old school house they lived in - that and a number of loud parties involving 300 lbs of old speakers, and a few more antics happened in that house.

We had a great time chatting with School House about their musical influences and upbringing, winning Mariposa Music Fest's Artist Showcase and following that up with winning the Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase in 2025.

This year, the band has a lot on the go. 

They just dropped their brand new single "Live While I'm Alive", with their second full length album, Homeland releasing February 27th.

You can also catch the band on tour with their pal (and another Front Porch Artist to Watch), Braden Lam this spring!

Welcome back for the Season 5 premiere of On The Porch with Front Porch Music! A brand new season, a fresh chapter for the podcast, and an episode that perfectly sets the tone for what’s ahead.

We’re kicking things off with a multi-CCMA nominated, back to back Female Artist of the Year, multi-instrumentalist, and 6-time number one at Canadian country radio. With a credit reel like that, we're more than excited to have MacKenzie Porter to kick off Season 5. 

A Canadian country star, Nashville-based artist, actress, and mom joins us for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about creativity, career evolution, and doing things on your own terms.

In this episode, MacKenzie takes us back to her roots in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where growing up in a musical family laid the foundation for everything that followed. From classical training at a young age to chasing big dreams far from home, her story is one built on family support, resilience, and trusting her instincts.

We also dive into how motherhood has influenced her career ... not by slowing her down, but by sharpening her focus and creativity. MacKenzie shares what it really looks like to balance family life with touring, recording, and acting, and why she hopes her story encourages other women in the industry to believe they don’t have to choose one or the other.

Another highlight of our chat was recounting the insane 2025 that happened for Thelma and James, the band she formed alongside her husband. What started as a spontaneous creative moment turned into a full-fledged project, reminding us that some of the best ideas come when you stop following the rules, or throw them out entirely.

We also talk about what’s next for MacKenzie, including new music, an upcoming tour with Luke Combs, and her growing role in the series 9-1-1: Nashville.

Hey everyone! This week, we’re doing something a little different — instead of our regular On The Porch episode, we’re bringing you the first full episode of our new limited series, Mastered: The Business of Music.

Mastered pulls back the curtain on the music industry, talking with major players about marketing, touring, sync licensing, being a DIY artist, and so much more — all the real-world advice artists and industry professionals need.

We’re excited to share this full episode with you today, and don’t worry — we’ll be back with our regular On The Porch format next week. You can also head over to the Mastered feed to catch the rest of the series.

Joelle May’s career has spanned across public relations, label management, events, and more. One area she’s worked in for over a decade is sync and licensing. 

And I know what you’re thinking - wtf is sync and licensing? This is exactly why we thought it’d be great to sit down with Joelle and really unpack that.

Joelle has placed music across television, video games, and commercials in North America and Europe.

In this episode, we get to the bottom of what sync and licensing is, how to get your music placed (spoiler: it’s not easy, especially on your own), and a little bit about the legalities and how royalties work.

Annika Catharina's family background influenced her love for performance. Growing up in a family that was partial to music, theatre, and the arts, she herself was also a dancer.

Theatre and live performance is what actually helped her to overcome shyness, something she still manages to this day.

Speaking of the big stage, Annika has had quite the year. She was a semi-finalist in SiriusXM's Top of the Country competition, and also a semi-finalist in this year's Emerging Artist Showcase at Boots and Hearts Music Festival.

Her single "Love and Hate" is at radio now, was just featured as Bell's iHeartFutureStar, and is currently Rogers One To Watch. The single is her first Top 50 at Canadian country radio.

With lots more music on the way, her latest single "Under Covers" is out now!

This week On The Porch, we’re joined by Mac Rumbolt. Mac is the winner of the Cottage Springs Country Rising contest, where he took home the grand prize of $10,000, and an artist development package with Starseed Entertainment.

Mac comes from small-town Nova Scotia, where he learned to play guitar at just five years old. Unsure of how a career in music may unfold, he initially headed to Alberta for an apprenticeship as a Harley Davidson mechanic. One drive by shooting and a leg amputation later, Mac found himself back at home working in behavioural health.

Unable to play sports anymore, Mac turned back to his guitar and writing music, a place of comfort while he rehabbed his injuries. A Facebook ad and a dream later, Mac applied for the Country Rising contest and found himself the winner.

This summer, he opened for the Reklaws in Windsor, along with their back to back sold out shows at the legendary Kee To Bala.

We can’t wait to see what’s next from Mac, including a single release in the near future!

This week’s episode of On The Porch with Front Porch Music is a little extra special. We packed up our mics and headed straight to Oro-Medonte for Boots and Hearts Music Festival!

If you’ve been, you know the weather here never plays nice. This year was no different ... Friday brought storms, and the weekend turned into two of the hottest days of the summer so far. But hey, that’s all part of the festival magic, right? Mud, sweat, country music ... and more sweat.

Boots and Hearts 2025 brought some major talent to the stage, including Bailey Zimmerman, Cameron Whitcomb, Hardy, Sam Hunt, The Band Perry, and so many more.

One of our favourite parts of the weekend is always the Emerging Artist Showcase. A chance to hear the future stars of Canadian country before they take over the airwaves. This year’s winner? School House, an incredible band from Ottawa who blew the crowd away.

In this episode, you’ll hear from some of our favourite Canadian friends, including:

• Tyler Joe Miller
• Zach McPhee
• Kelsi Mayne
• Jessie T
• Hailey Benedict
• Owen Riegling
• Last year’s EAS winner Sarah Vanderzon

Jake Vaadeland is from Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, and has always appreciated his rural upbringing. From playing music with his family, to working on the farm, bailing hay, Jake’s roots really are a reflection of the traditional style of music he brings to the stage.

He has had an impressive year already as a 2025 Juno Award Winner, while also making history as the youngest artist to achieve Road Gold Certification by selling 25,000 tickets in twelve months across Canada. 

Along with his band, The Sturgeon River Boys (named after the river running through his rural hometown), Jake has been on a global tour, performing in the U.K., Spain, Denmark, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada.

We talked about a lot on our episode with Jake, from his traditional style music, to what his style and suits really represent to him; it’s more than just a stage fit. We talked about his love of country music from the 40s and 50s.

We also talked about the Top of the Country competition, where Jake is a finalist and will play at LASSO Music Festival in August, and compete in the finale during Country Music Week in Kelowna.

Mitch Zorn has been celebrating the release of his debut EP Mitch Zorn. We caught up with him during his Calgary Stampede adventures.

Mitch grew up in a town of 1000 people, rural Nakusp, British Columbia, where he joined his family band at just eight years old. It wasn’t long before he was headed South to work in the oil fields in Texas. Mitch would spend five years going between there and Nashville to write songs on his weeks off.

We talked a lot about how working in the oil fields really inspired and shaped his songwriting. 

Mitch decided to move home after five years down South and really started to work on recording music. A chance encounter with representatives of 604 Records at his show led to him celebrating his first record deal in mid 2024.

Since then, Mitch has released singles leading up to his EP, started touring throughout Canada, and participated as a semi-finalist in SiriusXM’s Top Of The Country competition.

Sully Burrows grew up in Parry Sound, Ontario, surrounded by small-town charm and a family that pushed him to pursue music from an early age. Starting out on piano, he shifted to drums before finally picking up a guitar and learning to sing.

His first co-write with Owen Riegling opened a whole new world and kicked off his journey into songwriting. He’s big on practice and repetition, always working to sharpen his skills and write songs that feel real and relatable.

Sully pulls a lot of inspiration from his own life and his hometown roots, and you can hear it in the stories he tells through his music. 

It has been a big year for Sully. And being one of the finalists for the Top of the Country competition, it's clear that he is going to have an even bigger end to the year. 

RELATED: Learn more about the Top of the Country competition ...

We talked to Sully about all of this, plus the support he gets from his family and community, and the excitement around his latest single, “Rally Around.” This sports anthem has been turning heads and rallying fans everywhere, showing off Sully’s knack for creating songs that bring people together.

His mission? To write songs that tell a story and make people feel something.

His current single “Rally Around” is out now and follows his journey of building momentum in the Canadian country scene.

Pat Kordyback discovered his voice after losing interest in hockey and skateboarding. Learning to sing in his teens, Pat was inspired by the sounds of motown, which would foreshadow a little ‘doo wop’ in his future.

Getting together with Miles Holmwood, Robert Chalifoux, Daniel Johnson, and Aaron Verdonk, Pat would spend his early 20’s as the frontman for Canadian pop punk rock band Stereos. The band blew up after being featured on Much Music’s “disBAND”, and winning over Gene Simmons. 

Stereos would teach Pat a lot about life in a band, being a rockstar (and unlearning the rockstar attitude), and hard work rehearsing five day a week paying off. Hits like “Summer Girl”, “Throw Ya Hands Up” and “Butterflies” would send the band up the charts.

After his punk rock days would come to a close, Pat decided to lean into his Alberta side, and begin writing and recording country music. 

We talked with Pat about his career highs, lows, and more. We talked about the Stereos whirlwind, lessons learned from that exact whirlwind, and how his country music career aims to spark something new.

We also talked about the Oilers….and his lifelong dedication to his hometown NHL team.

His current single “Drive 85” is out now, which follows previous singles, “Outta Money, Outta Mind”, “Pour A Little My Way” and “Whiskey Like You”.

At just 21 years old, Noeline knows the vitality of building community as a young artist. After playing her local Alberta circuit for a few years, managing jobs at the grocery store and on a ranch, and attending school, Noeline set her sights on a career in music. 

In just one year, Noeline has toured with Charlie Crockett, Wyatt Flores, Zach Bryan, Turnpike Troubadours and more. She made her Stagecoach debut this year, and just had a full circle moment at Railbird Festival (find out why in the episode).

We talked to Noeline about the whirlwind she’s been on over the last two years, from packing up her car and heading for Kentucky and Tennessee, to a duet with Zach Bryan, her current busy schedule on the road, and more.

She also taught us how she manages to keep her schedule straight; a few weeks at a time.

Noeline is also Sirius XM Top of the Country finalist and we can’t wait to catch her at the finale in Kelowna this September.

Antonio Larosa hails from British Columbia, inspired by the classics he discovered both on his own, and through his mom who always had music going in the house.

Initially a musical theatre major, Antonio spent six months in New York before deciding that wasn’t his path. He ended up studying Jazz. 

During our chat, we talked about how he became the “family jukebox”, has been a gigging musician for a number of years, and dove into his catalog; as far back as his first album, even though he asked us not to!

Antonio recently released his single “Tried and True”, which follows “Close To You”, both from his upcoming project.

Antonio is a BCCMA winner for Roots Artist Of The Year, has just recently toured with Kyle McKearney, and will be opening for Parker Graye on her Vancouver date of the Halfway To a Tour Tour.

Riley Taylor first joined us On the Porch in 2022; he was the latest Boots and Hearts Showcase winner, he was on the precipice of releasing his first single, and he didn’t have a website.

We kicked off the latest episode with how far Riley has come since then. He was coming to us live from a hotel room, as he toured across Ontario with Kip Moore.

His debut album Story To Tell is out everywhere now. 

If you’re listening to Riley for the first time, he recommends “Fucked Up”, “Hometowns” and “Off The Liquor”.

Riley will be heading out on the “Hometowns” tour this May

On this week’s episode of On The Porch, we’re hanging out with Canadian country artist Melissa Livingstone, and let’s just say—this conversation is as fun as it is heartwarming.

Melissa joins us from Nashville, but her roots run deep in the small town of Ucluelet, BC (which she kindly teaches us how to pronounce). Geography isn’t exactly our strong suit, but we get there... eventually.

We chat about her journey from coastal Canada to the heart of country music, her early influences—including her mom teaching her to play piano—and the moment she knew music was the path she had to follow.

RELATED: Melissa is one of our artists to watch for this year. See the rest of the list ...

Melissa shares her hard-earned wisdom from playing in the bars on Broadway, and gives honest, helpful advice for anyone thinking about making the big move to Nashville. Spoiler: it’s okay to not go out every single night—rest is part of the grind, too.

We also dive into her catalogue of music, doing a little vibe check on how each release reflected where she was at in life and in her artistry. 

Whether you're a fan of Canadian country, dreaming of Nashville, or just here for some good porch talk—this episode has a little something for everyone.

We invited Taylor-Rae back to the podcast - it’s been four years since we first chatted with her On The Porch!

It’s safe to say a lot has changed since then. Taylor-Rae has since released her EP titled Honest and started working on a brand new project that will be out this spring. She’s won BCCMA Awards for Female Artist of the Year and Song of the Year (If This Is Love). She also made her CMA Fest debut in 2024.

Taylor-Rae also made some “Alberta Plan” with tour stops in Calgary and Edmonton in February, where she brought along friend, Antonio Larosa.

Her latest single “Bittersweet”, written with Lydia Sutherland, Aaron Pollock and David Evans, is about cutting off a relationship when it’s time and not dragging things out longer than necessary.

Lucas Mason grew up in a musical household - so much so that his brother is part of his band. It wasn’t until he was bound and determined to get on stage with Zach Bryan, and it actually happening, that he began to crave a career performing.

Lucas released his debut EP in January titled Almost 18, where he dives into the feelings and frustrations of being, well, 18. 

It all started when Lucas went viral on TikTok for his performance at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto with Zach Bryan on the Quittin’ Time tour. In 2024, he wrote his first songs, played his first live shows, including the North of Nowhere Music Festival, and released his first EP.

RELATED: Lucas is one of our Artists to Watch in 2025 …

Our chat with Lucas was a reminder of just how long ago high school was for our entire team (sigh). 

Now, Lucas is working on more music and has released his brand new single “Messed Up Kid”.

We sat down with Kyle McKearney to talk about his journey through the alternative country music scene, from growing up in Northern British Columbia to making waves in Nashville and beyond. Kyle shared how his early musical influences, including his family band, shaped his sound and led him to where he is today.

He opened up about his evolution as an artist—moving from rock to Americana and country—and why creating music for personal joy has become his focus. Kyle also reflected on Calgary’s supportive music community and the special bond he shares with his wife, Sarah, who is a key collaborator in his career.

We got into his recent career milestones, including his music being featured on Heartland and winning Alternative Country Album of the Year at the CCMAs. He also talked about the highs and lows of songwriting, the creative process, and the balancing act between family life and touring.

Oh, and did you know Kyle has a passion for construction and renovation? Turns out, music isn’t the only thing he builds.

We spent release day with Jess Moskaluke as she celebrated her first single in over a year. Jess recently released her single “Life For Me”; a creative departure that remains true to her evolved sound.

She mentioned how “Life For Me” is if her 2020 single “Map Dot” had a cool older sister. We also talked about how “Map Dot” connected with so many people across Canada - whether they were from small map dot towns, or had some small town that was special for them.

We talked about Jess’ “eras”, and what that means for her. She’s been releasing music for a long time, and for her, it’s about her own evolution, the things she’s experienced, and being true to herself - no matter the era.

For her - that’s pretty important too. She’s received criticism over the years for not being country enough and being too Nashville.

We also touched on her venture into the business side and management. After over a decade in the business, she’s got a lot of experience under her belt and has decided to share that with some emerging artists she’s working with.

Tim and the Glory Boys have had quite a busy year - especially the last few weeks, as they’ve been on the West Coast leg of their “Canoegrass” tour

Tim Neufeld, band founder and lead singer, joined us for our season three finale (another season finale….crazy), and we had such a great time sitting down with him.

Tim and The Glory Boys have won multiple Juno Awards and CCMA Awards, including for their debut self-titled album.

Tim talked about his own path over the years, having musicians as parents, and his other band “Starfield”, which he started with his brother.

Also - Tim and the Glory Boys were once called “Tim Neufeld and the Hallelujah Glory Boys”! It was just a little bit long if they wanted to be on the radio.

Tim and the Glory Boys have a new single coming….very soon! They’re also bringing the Canoegrass tour to the East side of Canada in 2025!

Lydia Sutherland has had a whirlwind year - or a few, to say the least.

This year, she released her EP pretty girls don’t cry, has written with some her favourite songwriters - and got dropped from her first major record deal.

Lydia reached out prior to the release of her latest single “Nashville, Nashville” to talk about her year.

In the best place she’s ever been mentally, with a healthy routine, writing the best songs she’s written, losing her record deal turned out to be something she needed.

We talked about the lessons she’s learned through this journey, the investment in her mental health, and what she has in store as she continues to make her way as a songwriter.

Sarah Vanderzon grew up south of Montreal, Quebec. Blending her influences and style, Sarah’s sound infuses folk, pop, and country music.

Being very shy growing up, stepping out of her shell has been a process. We talked about Sarah’s journey to the spotlight at center stage - even if she still hides behind her instruments.

In 2023, Sarah was a finalist on Quebec’s spin off of The Voice, “La deuxième voix” and was coached by Quebec icon Roxane Bruneau. She used this experience to grow her fanbase, increasing her presence on social media and releasing her EP “Same Sad Eyes”.

This year, Sarah took to the stage at Boots and Hearts Music Festival for the Emerging Artist Showcase. Not only did she make it to Sunday and perform on the main stage before Nate Smith, but she took home the title for the year.

Dawson Gray wasn’t always set on a music career ...

Growing up playing baseball, his eyes were on going pro. An issue with his eyesight preventing him from this dream, he discovered a new love, with a little help from his friends.

Dawson dove right in to the world of creating music, songwriting and performing.

We also talked about the privilege of having people listen to your music - in fact, Mariya made a great point, and perhaps a life lesson to many. “I’m not entitled to attention”. 

It was an interesting perspective.

This week on the podcast we have the busiest touring band that we are aware of in Canada ... the country duo Nice Horse.

Brandi and Katie, otherwise known as Nice Horse, joined us ahead of the release of their self-titled album.

We started with talking about our morning routines ... and teetered on the edge of becoming a beverage podcast. But once we were all well caffeinated (except for Katie ... she somehow doesn't drink caffeine) we dug in to the music.

Katie and Brandi have been friends for years.

Bonded through their love for music and writing, these two exude passion and it remains the pillar in the band. This band has gone through a couple of evolutions, but it all led them to this point. The release of their album.

We hope you love this episode as much as we loved recording it.

Zach McPhee grew up in Kelowna, British Columbia with his eyes set on a career in hockey. He grew up in a musically inclined family, with both parents and his brother playing guitar, piano and singing. This was easily passed along to Zach.

He first started singing as therapy for a speech impediment. Teammates from his hockey team happened to notice he was pretty good, created a YouTube account and started posting videos of him singing.

After years of writing, posting cover songs, and connecting with some folks in the local music community, Zach started working on music that would become his debut EP, Bring On, which he released in 2023.

Zach was featured on our annual Artists To Watch in 2023, alongside talented emerging Canadian artists. He is also a semi-finalist in this SiriusXM's Top Of The Country Contest.

Somehow we blinked and we’re at the season finale for Season 2 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music.

We’re so excited to have multi-CCMA award winning country artist Dallas Smith.

Dallas dove into music after overcoming his fear of singing in front of people. Within a year, he went from jamming in the garage with his band (Default) to having a record deal and hitting the road as a frontman.

Dallas grew up with two very musical parents, recalling his house filled with Reba, k.d. Lang, Martina McBryde, The Judds, Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, and Vince Gill. While he was into the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, he credits his mom’s favourite music even in influencing Default’s music.

Dallas shared a lot about his journey and relationship with the music business, getting involved through management and Local Hay Records, and investing time in mentoring emerging artists.

Dallas shared the “country record?” text that set off his solo career, and the organic experience of finding his way into Canadian country music.

We also dive into his self-titled fourth studio album, Dallas Smith.

Alee first popped onto the country music scene with singles like “Only The Strong Survive”, “Don’t Say You Love Me”, and “Moonshine”. Earning multiple CCMA and CMAB nominations, along with multiple Top 20 singles are just some of the highlights of Alee’s career.

We sat down with Alee to recap some of her finest moments, including door-knocking on radio programmer’s doors with her CDs (teaching us the fine line between persistence and harassment), working construction, and finally deciding to make the move to Nashville.

Alee is a classically trained pianist who didn’t pick up the guitar until a little later. She talked about songwriting on both instruments and finding her home at the piano.

Alee’s newest single “Love Songs” has an interesting story behind its inspiration. She told the story for TikTok of how she was playing “When You Say Nothing At All” and mid-song a woman interrupted and said she would pay her to stop playing.

Why did she do that?

You’ll have to tune into the episode where she tells us the full story.

The latest episode of “On The Porch with Front Porch Music” features broadway artist turned country singer, Graham Scott Fleming.

Graham’s newest single “Toughest Act To Follow” drops everywhere this Friday!

After the huge success of his 2021 single “Better Man”, 2022 saw the signing of Graham’s first record and management deal, and singles “Life Of The After Party” and “Somedays”.

We sat down with Graham to catch up, where he had the audacity to tune in from Los Angeles while we sat in a snowstorm! Jenna emphasized the importance of SPF after Graham’s sunburn was on full display (yeah, you should be wearing it every day). Someone called him Clay Aiken in an elevator….what a compliment.

We also talked about how excited he is to hit the stage this summer for some exciting shows, including Boots and Hearts Music Festival.

Sitting down with Graham is always fun; we get a little chaotic. We hope you enjoy our chat with GSF!

On this week's episode of On The Porch with Front Porch Music, we are joined by accomplished country artist and songwriter Steven Lee Olsen.

Steven Lee Olsen has become one of Nashville's most consistent and sought after songwriters. But he also puts on a hell of a show as a solo artist too.

We had the best time chatting with SLO and getting to know him more. We talked about what it feels like to have stars like Keith Urban recording his music, and how it felt when he watched "Blue Ain't Your Color" climb the charts.

He has been on tour with Old Dominion, and we talked about how it felt to perform in his hometown on such a huge tour. We look back at that night and what it meant to look out and see his city show up for him on that stage.

We really enjoyed our chat with Steven Lee Olsen, and we know you will too.

Continuing with the second season of On The Porch with Front Porch Music, we had Dayna Reid - a newcomer to the Canadian country music scene. 

2023 is going to be a breakout year for Dayna. 

She was introduced to us as Open Road Recordings' latest signing in September of 2022 at the CCMA Awards in Calgary. Since that introduction, she released her debut ep Back To The Trailer, released her debut single "She's Me" to country radio, and was announced as the iHeart Radio Future Star. 

We're just at the beginning of the year, but as one of our Artists To Watch in 2023, we predict that this will be a huge year for her.

Dayna joined us for an episode of the podcast, and it was so nice to get to know her! 

Have a listen to the episode and try not to fall in love with her like we have!

Josh Ross helps us kick off season 2 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music! He spent 2022 in an absolute whirlwind.

He kicked off the year with the signing of his first record deal with Universal Music Canada, his single “First Taste Of Gone” going Top 5 at Canadian Radio, taking a finalist slot at SiriusXM’s Top Of The Country contest, and playing the Grey Cup Halftime Show.

We sat down with Josh to run the highlight reel of his busy year and chat more about what’s to come. We talked about how Josh leveraged heartache into songwriting and leveling his writing up when working with co-writer Mason Thornley and producer Matt Geroux.

Josh will play a number of festivals this summer, including Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Cavendish Beach Music Festival, and a number of shows on the Country Thunder circuit. He is spending much of early 2023 supporting Bailey Zimmerman on tour.

Season 1 of our podcast On The Porch with Front Porch Music consisted of 22 episodes. 22 episodes where we talked to some of Canada’s biggest artists and top emerging talent.

There were so many great moments and we wanted a way to share some of the moments that stood out from season 1.

So the producer and editor of the podcast, Jason, decided to put together an episode that features moments from the podcast.

We had so many great moments … moments that made us laugh, made us emotional, and gave us insight into the music industry and the stories behind the songs. Jason picked out a handful of stories from our interviews and created this bonus episode.

Our best moments include clips from interviews with Hunter Brothers, Dustin Bird, Elyse Saunders, Taylor-Rae, Alli Walker, Owen Riegling, Riley Taylor, Dani Strong, and Nate Haller.

We have made big plans for season 2. The New Year will bring more great conversations with some of Canada’s biggest artists, and the independent artists at the forefront of the industry. We will be back in the second week of January bigger and better!

We did it ... we made it to the season finale of season 1 for On The Porch with Front Porch Music. We closed out the season with the perfect guest. Tim Hicks joined us for our final episode of 2022!

Tim Hicks is one of Canada's biggest country stars, and we had lots of questions for him. We wanted to get down to it and figure out what drives him and how he got to where he is. 

Tim takes us back to his bar days. He played in bars for 18 years making a living as a full time musician. He shared some of his stories, including one where he gets sick on stage. You'll have to hear it to believe it. 

He's one of the nicest guys in the biz, so we're excited for you to get to know him a little more ... here's our episode with Tim Hicks.

This week, we talk to Canadian country artist Madeline Merlo. It's been a whirlwind of a time for Madeline in the last few years ... so we wanted to talk to her about it.

From signing a new Nashville record deal, to winning Songland on NBC, to having Lady A take one of her songs to number 1, we talk about it all.

Together, we try and figure out what the secret sauce is that makes Madeline's music resonate so strongly with audiences. She shares the inspiration behind songs like "It Didn't", "War Paint", "Champagne Night", and more.

This is the first time we've had Madeline join us "On The Porch" for a live conversation. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we did recording it.

So here's our conversation with Madeline Merlo.

On this week's episode of On The Porch with Front Porch Music we speak with Canadian country artist Kalsey Kulyk.

Kalsey has been through a lot in her life and it has all lead to where she is today. She always loved music, but when she was 14 was diagnosed with cancer. A diagnosis that changed her life ... talk about gaining perspective from a young age.

We spoke about how that affected her life, how her mom's love for music influenced her, living in a van with her husband and baby, and so much more!

This was the first time we had a chat with Kalsey, and we could have talked for hours. But here's our chat with Canadian country artist Kalsey Kulyk.

On this week’s episode of our podcast, we spoke with one of the greatest storytellers in country music. Dani Strong joined us for our longest, but most open, honest and funny conversations we’ve had.

Dani has had a very interesting, and unusual journey to success in the country music industry. Getting her start with the trombone, moving to rock music, then finally settling in to the world of country music, Dani has seen it all.

We talked about the Calgary Stampede, helping younger artists, starting her own company, and how she had a song stolen … like, actually … someone took her song (AND VOICE) and pretended it was theirs.

RELATED: Have a listen to her single “Slow Down” …

We spoke with Dani for over an hour, but we could have spoken for hours more. She’s one of the easiest artists to talk to.

We really hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

This week we have a bit of a different episode for you. We were one of the sponsors for the 2022 Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase so we thought it would be fun and different to record an episode from the festival.

Jenna sat down for a quick chat with some of the Emerging Artist Showcase finalists after their performances.

Owen Riegling ended taking home the title of official Emerging Artist at this year's festival, but at the time of recording, we only knew that Owen and Taylor-Rae were selected as the two finalists competing for the official title.

Jenna sat down with Owen Riegling, Amber-Jo Bowman, Mark Ledlin, ANNIKA, and Taylor-Rae. We recorded this backstage at the festival, so you can hear some background noise, so you'll have to listen a little hard for some of the chats. Sorry about that!

Enjoy Jenna's chat with these 5 fantastic artists.

This week On The Porch with Front Porch Music we have Canadian country artist Brian John Harwood.

Brian John Harwood is no stranger to the world of Canadian country music. He has made a name for himself as both a solo artist and as one half of the duo Kansas Stone.

We talked a lot about food. We learned that he was a chef, he has an addiction to TimBiebs, and makes one hell of a Caesar.

We didn't only talk about food though.

We had a great conversation that ran the gamut. How he got started in music, got past his shy nature, his artistic expression, and what an artist's life is like as both a solo artist and as part of a duo.

It doesn't get much more real than Brian John Harwood. So please, enjoy our conversation with Canadian country artist Brian John Harwood.

This week we have the 2021 Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase winner Riley Taylor joining us On The Porch with Front Porch Music.

Last year, Riley won the biggest competition in Canada. Since that time, he has been laying the foundation to have a huge debut in the world of Country music. The time has finally come for his debut single to be released.

He has released "Good Things" and it came at the perfect time.

When Riley was announced as a finalist in the 2021 Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase, he was completely unknown by anyone outside of his hometown. He hadn't released any music, didn't have a website, and barely had any social media presence. So we were all excited to hear what he was all about.

From the moment he got on that stage, it was clear that he was the one to watch.

On this episode, we talked about what that whirlwind of a process was like for him. How as a shy person he found himself through music.

We spoke to Riley earlier this year.

This week we have Canadian country artist Mallory Johnson joining us On The Porch with Front Porch Music.

Mallory has had a big year so far. She was one of the top 8 finalists for Sirius XMs Top Of The Country contest, and just recently has been seeing big success with her single "Marriage" climbing the charts.

RELATED: Mallory was one of our Women in Canadian Country Spotlights ...

Mallory Johnson comes from a very musical family, growing up around celtic and country music, and touring through North America and Scotland with her family’s celtic band. She was just 11 years old when she recalls recording albums, lugging gear, and traveling in a van to play.

She took lessons and partook in musical theater, and while she never had the voice for it, theater taught her a lot about performing.

Now living in Nashville, we had the chance to catch up and talk about her new single, her fake wedding, and where her musical talent comes from.

Have a listen to our chat with Mallory Johnson.

Hunter Brothers are a busy band of …literal brothers, who are known for their incredible harmonies. 

Growing up in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Ty, Dusty, JJ, Luke, and Brock know a thing or two about playing hockey, hard work on the farm, and country music.

We had all five brothers On The Porch where we chatted about growing up in rural Saskatchewan, how they got into music together, and their newest single, “Peace Love & Country Music”.

The brothers also chatted about where each of their strengths lie and how often Ty loses his wallet and passport – spoiler. It happens a lot! His wife had to get him a tracking tile for his wallet.

We also talked about some of the antics they get up to on the farm. If you happen to look up said antics, do not try any of it at home.

This was a great conversation! It was so great to get to know Devin a little more.

He's had a big year so far ... He was part of the Project Wild program in 2022, nominated for a CMAB, and released his album "Good Things". We talked to him all about it.

In this episode, we had a lot of technical difficulties. Jenna and Logan had microphone troubles, but Devin sounded great! We thought about not releasing this episode, but the conversation was so good that we just had to!

Nate Haller broke out into the country music scene in March 2021 with his debut single “Lightning In a Bottle”.  After playing guitar for The Reklaws and Kira Isabella, Nate Haller traded in his fedora for a ball cap and stepped into the spotlight.

In our chat with Nate, we talked about a lot more than just slinging guitar and his Nate Hall to Haller evolution. 

If you’ve had a chance to connect with Nate Haller, you’ll know he doesn’t take himself too seriously. That’s why he suited up as “Chip Wreck” on The Reklaws’ Winter’s a Beach Tour.

He shared a little more about his new single, “Ain’t Like Me”, which for him is about how he and his girlfriend ended up together. He blew her away wearing a wine-stained tank top and crocs and socks.

Jenna and Nate reminisced on the high school days; they didn’t go to school together, but Nate did tour the local high schools and play for students at lunch hour. Did Jenna really throw a pop can at him? You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out.

We also played a round of “This Or That”, which included us making him choose between his best buddies Callum Maudsley and Stu Walker. Listen to the episode to see who he chose!

This week On The Porch with Front Porch Music we had a chat with the country music brother duo Lemon Cash.

From Ottawa Ontario, it's been an exciting 12 months for these two. They signed to Sakamoto Talent Agency, and were named one of nine artist to watch in 2022 by Front Porch Music (yep ... that's us).

This was a fun chat.

We spent pretty much the entire time talking about music and artists we love ... We could have talked to Cory and Jeff all day, sharing our favourite music with one another. You can hear it in our voices, we all had a really great time!

After we got all the music talk out of our system, we played a little drinking game! Jenna and Logan lost ... listen to the full episode to hear us lose.

Paige is such a bubbly personality. Her optimism and smile are so infectious. It's hard not to listen to her music and feel happiness. Her latest single "Good At Missing You" is a bit of a departure from the usual upbeat songs we've come to expect. It shows a softer, more emotional side.

This was the first episode of On The Porch with Front Porch Music we ever recorded, and it's one for the books.

Even though Jenna and Owen made fun of Logan for being old ... there was still time for us to chat about the industry and to get to know Owen more. We talked about his small town roots, going to school for music, and making music for social media.

We're excited to be able to introduce you to Canadian country artist Owen Riegling.

This week we are joined "On The Porch" by country music artist Alli Walker. We love Alli and really enjoyed getting to know her more.

We talked about being an expert and putting in your 10,000 hours. We also learned that her favourite instrument is the bagpipes ... and she's REALLY good at playing them.

Check out her playing "My Heart Is A Bar" by Old Dominion on the bagpipes on TikTok.

We could have talked to Alli all day. She has a new single out called "Maybe I'm Still Drunk" and it's available on all streaming platforms.
