Whether you hear her at an intimate cafe or a massive music festival, you will be amazed at that perfect pitch and powerful voice coming from such a young rising star. 

''You can't help but be pretty impressed with Canadian Country's Rising Star Abby Stewart,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine and host of the International Music's Journey Podcast.  ''Stewart is such a bright light in country music today.  She knew her way around a song and how to tap into that singer/songwriter storytelling magic very early on in her life as you can see with her tremendous success on so many different stages with the top of the Canadian Country Superstars roster already.  Now that is impressive,'' says Cyr. 

''It's nice to strip back all of that success and hear Stewart talk about how much she missed by being in the music industry so young and then to see the flip side of the business and being so grateful for all that she has accomplished.  She has been on stage with some of the best and she is just getting started.  The stars are the limit for this young powerhouse.  The songwriting and navigation around a song and delivering a vocal with the emotion and understanding of the lyrics takes years of practice.  Stewart gets every bit of that and what it takes to achieve this with hard work and she is without a doubt, a star in the making,'' says Cyr.  

''Abby Stewart is really connected to her home in Kingston and all the places that support local artists like the market square.  She has such a huge fan base within the Kingston music scene.  It all starts at the local singing competitions, festivals, and fairs...Abby got out there performing her songs and writing every chance she could.  Fans are in love with her beautiful vocals and now we are seeing the next junction in her musical journey.  She is all grown up and better than ever!  I can't wait for you to hear this interview...  Stewart opens up about what was hard for her being in the spotlight so young, missing out on doing things that young girls would be doing, and then being able to appreciate and love what she has learned from starting so young.  She has a great head on her shoulders and she appreciates the incredible opportunities she has had to build relationships with so many world-class producers and songwriters in Nashville and in Canada.''  To have the opportunity to work with Sharp9Music, Bill Miller and the multi-award-winning producer Jeff Dalziel is just the icing on the top of the cake,'' says Cyr.

''Jeff Dalziel is the most talented, caring award-winning producer that performs magic with every artist he works with,'' says Cyr.  ''I really want to be a fly on the wall for one of these recording sessions. Wait, let me manifest that thought, not to be a fly on a wall but to be invited to watch and film a recording session with Jeff to see what this world-class producer can do.  Pray for me and maybe I will get that invite and show you the magic that happens in the studio with Dalziel.  Artists go in one way and come out a completely transformed artist with an understanding of exactly what they are capable of.  It's insane how he can read an artist and know exactly what to do with their vocals and mold that song into a masterpiece,'' says Cyr.

New Single ''Before You''

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Canadian Country Rising Start 'Mackenzie Leigh Meyer' Feeling the Love with Her New Single 'Before You' Listen HERE

Hailing from Hamilton ON, the 26-year-old multi-instrumentalist country singer 'Mackenzie Leigh Meyer' has come a long way from her humble beginnings of community theatre and songwriting on the family piano. Emerging into the country music scene with her May 2018 EP “Dive Bar Diva”, up and comer Mackenzie Leigh Meyer is already getting praise for her unique style and enchanting vocals.  

Beginning 2019 with a CMA Ontario nomination for “Roots Artist of the Year” and rounding it out with slots at Boots and Hearts, Havelock Jamboree, and Lucknow’s Music in the Fields to name a few, you could say she has been making a lot of ground in a short period of time.  

Eager to follow the heat of 2019 with new music, Meyer partnered with esteemed producer Jeff Dalziel (2018/2019 CCMA Producer of the Year) and released her latest single “Before You” in October 2020, and she released her first music video earlier this year 2021. The song was added to Spotify’s “Live Country” and Amazon’s “Breakthrough Country” playlists and has already garnered over 50,000 streams on Spotify alone.

''I had the pleasure of chatting with rising star 'Mackenzie Leigh Meyer' who has such a bright future in Canadian country music, '' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine and host for the International Music's Journey Podcast.   ''Her new single 'Before You' really showcases the subtlety of her unique vocals and highlights just how gifted she is as a songwriter. It is a beautiful ballad that shows off her love of poetry in her approach to this song.  I love the story and lyrics behind 'Before You' which is the polar opposite of her incredible song 'More Than A Memory.' My favourite by the way.  Mackenzie's new single is a story that comes full circle.  A story of love that is built by subtle gestures in everyday life, the emotional and mental support, the stability that builds that perfect friendship and love that is just so easy.  The love that lasts a lifetime'' says Cyr.

''I really believe in Mackenzie's ability to tell a story beautifully in her music as a singer/songwriter,'' says Cyr.  ''She really has something special and I know there is a real fire within her as an artist,'' says Kim Cyr.  ''I can really relate to her artistry and we had a lot of fun in my interview with Mackenzie.  I had to ask my favourite question lately in my Burning Questions portion of the interview and it did not disappoint.  You have to hear what happens at the end of this interview.  Priceless.''  To hear the whole interview, click the link below.

Music's Journey INTERVIEW w/ Multi-Award Winning Artist 'Brett Kissel' Coming Full Circle With His New Album 'What Is Life' About Life, Love And Gratitude! Listen To The Full Interview HERE

Brett Kissel releases his fifth major-label studio album What Is Life? (LISTEN HERE). 

“That age-old question is one that I’ve really focused on and centered around for this next phase of my career and for my life,” says Brett. “And each and every time, the one thought that is always front and center for me, is doing the best we can with what we have and making the most of our lives. I hope that everyone who hears it not just enjoys it, but is also inspired by it.” 

Last month, Brett unveiled the first single, “Make A Life, Not A Living,” accompanied by the official music. “Make A Life, Not A Living” set history upon its release, picking up the most adds ever in a single week on Canadian country radio. 

Brett recently picked up his fifth career JUNO Award nomination. His chart-topping single “Drink About Me” is nominated in the prestigious Single of the Year category. 

-- 

If you’re a fan of country music, you probably already know Brett Kissel’s story – owned his first guitar before he was even in school, released his first album before he could even drive – leading to him becoming Canada’s most dynamic country music artist before he turned 30 years old. The farm-and-ranch-raised artist has 15 top 10 radio singles, 3 #1 songs, and a tractor bucket full of gold and platinum plaques. He set records on his 112-date cross-country tour, played over 20 shows with his hero Garth Brooks, and has won 18 CCMA Awards and 2 JUNO Awards. 

While fans were still buzzing about last year’s Now Or Never album, Brett started looking towards his next release, but couldn’t get three words out of his head – What Is Life? The search for something “more” weighed heavily on the country star’s mind and with the new album, Brett Kissel invites fans to take a deep dive with him into songs about love, celebration and gratitude.

''Whenever there is new music by superstar Brett Kissel, we all get excited,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine and host of Music's Journey Podcast.  ''Brett's new album 'What Is Life' is a masterpiece of a life's journey that comes full circle for this star.  Coming off a very busy 300-day touring year to the stillness of not performing live, Brett had to dig deep to see what his heart and soul already knew.  He describes flying from one side of the country to the other and feeling his heart pull to the childhood farm he grew up on and left as a teenager.  He swore that he would never miss the farm and focus on chasing his dream to play on the stage playing his music as a successful singer/songwriter.  He never knew that life would come full circle and his need to ground his life with balance would come from the land that has been in his family for over a hundred years.  Brett's new album What Is Life has something for everyone.  Whether you are celebrating love, life, or dealing with facing what hurdles are standing in your way, Brett has delivered some amazing songs on this new project.  I get the opportunity to dig into the honesty and vulnerability behind the superstar Brett Kissel, in my recent interview this week.  To hear the full interview, click the link below.

Releases New Single and the Music Video

Only Pieces of The Truth

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Canadian Pop Artist ''Jordan Hart'' Connects As An Amazing Lyrist With His Debut EP ''Only Pieces Of The Truth''

Jordan Hart debuts his brand-new video for Only Pieces of the Truth, the single was released today via Believe Digital and all streaming services. Hart is a singer-songwriter from Alberta, now based in Toronto, ON. The single is an emotive, mid-paced, and gentle song with gloriously sweeping arrangements and the video features a beautiful dance performance expressing our desire to communicate but failing to do so. It was directed by Julia Hendrickson (Justin Nozuka), produced by Lucy Cameron, and choreographed by Lauren Runions. 

Said Hart. ‘’The central character realizes that all he wants to do is be vulnerable and that he is “holding all the cards, wishing you could see inside his walls.” But even still, and especially because the stakes are so high, he can’t bring himself to take the first steps forward toward repairing the relationship (“staring at your door, I’ll never knock”).’’ 

Hart reached out to Julia Hendrickson after being impressed by her work on Justin Nozuka’s past videos. The video was filmed in an old, abandoned mansion in Toronto. The concept of the video was to explore the line between the purely natural and slightly distorted or manipulated. The dancers wore little to no makeup and were dressed very simply as to contrast beautifully against this forgotten space that was once such a grand statement of human presence. 

‘’The mansion’s decaying paint and old wood make it feel like space is being reclaimed by the natural world,’’ said Hart. ‘’The natural light that quietly exposes the dark abandoned rooms reminds me of our profound impermanence in the face of the vastness of the environment that surrounds us.’’

In 2019, Hart embarked on a 100-day straight busking challenge in Toronto, through thunderstorms and snowstorms he played on. Every Sunday, 100 percent of the money he raised was donated to L’Arche Canada, an organization that helps create communities that support people with intellectual disabilities.  Since then, he has secured a record deal with Believe Digital and All Points (based out of the UK). The momentum from his daily busking also culminated in a sold-out show at the Great Hall in Toronto and his career streams also increased by over a quarter of a million. As a featured artist, his work with Lucky Rose on the song ‘’Lost’’ has accumulated over 15 million streams across all platforms and the track was top 30 at CHR Canadian radio. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut EP, out now.

''Pop artist ''Jordan Hart'' has built his career through his live performances and honing his brilliant artistry and vision as a singer/songwriter,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine and host of Music's Journey Podcast.  ''Hart describes his debut video for his single Only Pieces of the Truth as a connection to his heart and soul.  His vision moves you and connects you emotionally to that feeling we all can find hard to face and allow ourselves to be and that is vulnerable.  The dancing in the video drives home that message with softness and the love that is expressed between the two dancers.  You can feel the love that can be so strong but can be broken with the walls we build around ourselves that we feel are protecting us but in truth are robbing us of the compassion of what love can bring into our lives.  You can't feel love completely or understand it without allowing yourself to be vulnerable a hundred percent of the way.   I love this video and the visionary artist that Hart has become.  Hart shows his emotive vocals and lyrics to this brilliant song,'' says Cyr.

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Triple Platinum Singer/Songwriter/Producer 'Andrew Farriss' Extraordinary Self-Titled Album Debut!

Andrew Farriss Self-Titled Album Debut

Country, rock, and Americana singer/songwriter and INXS founder delivers an adventurous full album with limited-edition, animated picture disc vinyl LP 

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Triple Platinum Singer/Songwriter/Producer 'Andrew Farriss' Extraordinary Self-Titled Album Debut!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Prolific songsmith and country and Americana singer/songwriter Andrew Farriss released his self-titled debut album on March 19th, 2021. Taking fans around the world on a journey through nature, history, love, and cultural spirituality, Farriss has put his whole heart into this work of art and has come up with nothing short of a masterpiece. 

Farriss shares his genuine talents as he shifts into genres that encapsulate all he stands for. Inspired by adventure, exploration, and more, the complete album is now available to download and stream on all digital platforms. With the lead single and music video release of “Run Baby Run” and another album track, “Good Momma Bad” premiering on Cowboys & Indians, there is no containing the potential of this stellar work. 

“One of the reasons many people have warmed to country music, is that it isn’t just happy songs,” says Andrew. “It is the sad songs; it is the gritty subjects that some genres of music won’t go near. That is something that attracts me as a songwriter. I don’t want to chase what train everyone else is on, I want to stay true to what I do as a songwriter, and keep a frontier sense of freedom. When I was putting the album together, I steered away from cliches, plus I wanted to put my own personality in it. If my album doesn’t sound like anyone else, then that is good.” 

When creating this project, Andrew Farriss left no stone unturned. It was imperative to make a vinyl record like no other that reflects and provides not only a listening experience but a visual one as well. The vinyl, an original work of art in itself showcases a translucent record that comes to life with moving characters and breath-taking animation once it hits the turntable. The cover offers a classic “Western” feel that brings back the traditional qualities that albums once had, yet maintains a fresh new image to keep every collector wanting more. 

“As well as digital, I was passionate about wanting my album released on vinyl as I think the music on vinyl is tangible - physically attractive with the right artwork. To me this is important in the current digital music avalanche,” beams Farriss.

Building anticipation, Andrew previously shared three singles from the debut. “Come Midnight,” released in 2019, has continued to build a strong following since it first received radio airplay. “Good Momma Bad,” released at the start of 2020, solidified Andrew’s new musical direction and garnered further acclaim. His latest single, “Run Baby Run,” hit airwaves in March 2021. Prior to COVID-19, Andrew’s solo debut was initially flagged for release in March 2020. However, that was put on hold for 12-months. In that time, Andrew released a five-track EP, ‘Love Makes The World’, that spawned two hit singles, the title track which recently took the #5 spot on the Australian country chart, and “All The Stars Are Mine.” 

''Andrew Farriss is one of the most accomplished and exceptional artists in rock history,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief of NOW and THEN Magazine and host of Music's Journey Podcast.  Farriss's skills as a songwriter/producer are showcased in this unique visual storyboard of a collection of songs that bring his artistry to life in his self-titled debut album.   ''It is a masterpiece,'' says Cyr.  Here are some of the questions I asked Andrew Farriss in my interview with him.

1.  What song makes you emotional and why? 

Farriss  - “ HURT “ ( Trent Reznor )   - Johnny Cash's version. 

About as real and gutsy a song as it gets.  

Makes me emotional. 

I felt an instant and heartfelt connection to this song, and as a songwriter myself it pushes all the right buttons. 

 

2.  If you could step into the shoes and mind of any artist past or present, who would it be and why? 

Farriss - Bob Marley & The Wailers.  Bob was a true master and communicator - a genius. 

Love what that group of people achieved, love the Reggae music, love the songwriting, love the attitude to life, and conviction of faith. 

After Bob passed, my band INXS was doing another major US tour and Ziggy Marley and the Wailers came out on tour with us for 3 months during the KICK tour. 

Later down the road, I recall Ziggy showing me Bob’s bible, as a treasured possession. 

I hope they are all well and in good health. 

Love to all. 

3.  What is your biggest life lesson so far? 

Farriss -  

Treat others as you’d like to be treated, never lose a great opportunity to keep your mouth shut. 

You need good food and clean water and shelter.   

You can't eat a smartphone.   

4.  When you want to shut out all the noise and stress of the world, what is your favorite thing to do? 

Farriss - Read books. Think of positive things in life. Take a gentle walk, if possible with a loved one or friend - find a peaceful location. Eat pistachio nuts.   

5.  What is your most useless talent? 

Farriss - I know how to repair a flat tire with a vulcanizing kit.

When it came to penning the tracks for the album, Farriss had looked within and through personal experience, writing a collection of songs that bring to life stories of outlaws, freedom, cowboys, love, and paints vivid imagery of gun-slinging bandits, Australian history, and international cultural spirituality. With no INXS touring plans in the immediate future, and an abundance of original material in his songbook, Andrew has now launched a solo career that sees him taking aim at the country and Americana; and this is only the beginning. 

“I love writing songs and telling stories that hopefully resonate with people. I have not followed any trends or formulas creating these songs. What I have written and recorded is different. I like different, different is good."

"50/50" 

Music's Journey INTERVIEW w/ Canadian Artist Star 'Kayla Diamond' Spreading the Message of 'Self Love' 

with New Single '50/50' Here Full Interview HERE

50/50 is a unique take on a love song. It's a love song about you (the listener), versus a breakup song about two people. This homage to self-esteem is timely as taking care of your own emotional needs became paramount in 2021, Kayla reflects on this on her latest track 50/50. As Kayla explains “Sometimes you need to show yourself some love, even if it means hurting someone else." 

Working with Marty Martino (Honors, Down With Webster) and her A&R team, the result is one of Kayla’s strongest tracks to date and showcases her dynamic vocal range. 

Reflecting on what she wants fans to take from the song Kayla says “Lots of people will hear this song and think it's just about a spoiled relationship, but to me, it's so much more than that. It's about recognizing that you deserve better than what you're being given. It's about removing unwanted toxicity from your life.” 

Since the 2017 release of her debut single “Carnival Hearts” (which went on to stream over 5 million times) and its follow up Top 10 single, the anthemic “What You’re Made Of,” Kayla continues to impress with her talent and determination to spread positivity with her words and music.

''Kayla Diamond has a very unique way of presenting this love story,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief of NOW and THEN Magazine and host for Music's Journey Podcast.   ''50/50 (Slaight Music/Pheromone/Cadence): The new single from the Toronto pop singer/songwriter has burst out of the gate, notching the Top Indie Add on the DMDS/Yangaroo chart this week.  This song has a powerful message that can be taken in many different life situations.  It is what I love about it.  The message to self-love, to recognize when a relationship is toxic and that instead of staying in something that just isn't good for you.  Kayla opens up about her recent marriage Talia Hershon and the special love they have for one another.  I have a chance to ask some cool questions to them both.  To hear the full interview, click on the link below.
