The International Songwriting Competition Honours Poignant Collaboration Produced by Allister Bradley, Written in Response to a Season of Profound Family Loss

Sometimes, there’s no good goodbyes, especially when it’s final. Grief is a traumatic emotion we all face and often, the hits can keep coming. After three of his siblings died in less than a year, award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Henry Lees knows this all too well. He turned to the powerful medicine of music to help heal from his overwhelming losses and collaborated with notable Nova Scotia songwriter Joanna Butler and accomplished Ontario songwriter and producer Allister Bradley to create the poignant new single "That Last Goodbye", available now.

 The chords to "Jolene" had vanished.

Gracie Jet had known Dolly Parton's classic since she was a kid. But sitting outside her parents' cottage on the Bruce Peninsula, guitar in hand, her mind went completely blank. That moment sent her inside to a piano, and out came "Point of View," the raw, beautiful and ultimately hopeful new single from the Owen Sound folk rocker.

It's the emotional heart of her debut album, 'Smile,' out now.

Kevin Westphal, also known in musical circles as The Canuck, is back doing what he does best with his new single. Kevin has a knack for taking things we all think about and turning them into relatable songs to make us laugh and think at the same time.

The Kitchener, Ontario singer-songwriter has released "The Food Inflation Blues," a country comedy track born out of a conversation that stuck with him longer than he expected. While waiting in the checkout line, Westphal asked a store manager why prices kept climbing, and later that same night watched the news report record grocery store profits. "I picked up my guitar and 'The Food Inflation Blues' just came out," he says.

Pop Rocker Jamie Alimorad Gives Disappointed Kids A Holiday Anthem With "Santa Sucks"

 Socks and underwear. Everyone has unwrapped them at least once and tried their best to look thrilled.

Jamie Alimorad turned that universal letdown into "Santa Sucks," a gleefully cheeky holiday song that's back to brighten the season. The Los Angeles based pop rock singer and songwriter first released it on November 7, 2025 on Jamie Alimorad Music, and its music video took home Best Comedic Video at the Las Vegas Music Video Awards. Now, with Rolling Stone UK naming him its #1 Artist To Watch for 2026, Alimorad is inviting everyone who ever felt shortchanged by the big guy in red to sing along.

Every time CJ Loane plugs in his guitar, the same riff comes tumbling out. Now that warm up riff has become "Scream!," a fist pumping, sing it at the top of your lungs anthem from Winnipeg's The Bloodshots, and the band is taking it to every corner of the country on their 'Screamin' Across Canada’ tour. The run is underway now and rolls through Ontario, the Prairies, British Columbia and Quebec until December 12, with a big October stretch alongside The Lazys on their 'Too Tough To Die Tour.'

Micah Sheveloff has released "Someone There For Me," the first single from his upcoming album 'Don't You Wonder,' due January 15, 2027.

The song traces back to a friendship that began around 1984, when Sheveloff and Extreme frontman Gary Cherone played together in Boston. The two stayed connected over the following decades, and in the fall of 2024, Cherone called Sheveloff with an idea: an American Songbook style track that swings, one he had carried around as a demo for years and wanted to finally record. The plan was to cut it together with jazz musicians Sheveloff had worked with in the past, but touring behind Extreme's album 'SIX' pushed the session back. In the meantime, Sheveloff fell in love with the song and built his own arrangement around it, one Cherone loved as much as the original.

Beppie’s eighth album, 'Puzzle Pieces,' is out now. The record gathers the Edmonton musician's latest run of singles, including the counting anthem "Nine" and the hip hop flavoured "P-O-T-A-T-O Crew," and marks another chapter for one of Canadian children's music's busiest and most decorated voices.

Vancouver bluesman Al “Wailin’” Walker has spent nearly five decades proving that the blues is not a genre you retire from. His eighth self-produced album, 'Bluesman', has landed at #1 on the Roots Music Report Canada chart, the latest chart-topper in a catalogue that stretches back to 1978, and a career built almost entirely on his own terms.

Candles glowing across a front lawn, neighbours dancing beneath the open sky and a cherished voice that follows you everywhere you go. Denver indie pop duo Cherokee Social open their hearts on "Maya," a shimmering, soul-stirring new single out now that honours the full circle of a life lived with joy, courage and a house overflowing with friends. Written by frontman Julian Navarro in tribute to his late mother, the song wraps dreamy, reverb-kissed guitar around soaring walls of harmony that feel like they could lift the roof clean off the room.

Hammond organ master Vel Lewis returns with "Smoovee," a lush, groove driven single featuring soprano and tenor saxophonist Marion Meadows that has already debuted as the #1 Most Added recording at smooth jazz radio. The track continues to build momentum across formats, appearing on the Smooth Jazz Network Top 100, Mediabase Smooth Jazz, RadioWave Monitor Groove Jazz 100, and the Top 30 Weekend Radio chart in Madrid, Spain, while reaching listeners on every major streaming platform. Built around a soulful Hammond bed and Meadows' unmistakable saxophone lines, "Smoovee" distills the sound Lewis has spent a lifetime refining: groove jazz, smooth jazz, soul, funk, and rhythm and blues, folded into one infectious recording.

Tina Dico shares "This Fire!," the second single from her forthcoming album 'Balancing Small Things On Sharp Edges,' out October 23, 2026. The song follows "Surfing," which introduced the record earlier this summer, and marks the first time Dico and fellow Iceland based artist Emilíana Torrini have recorded together, on one of the album's most immediate and inspiring tracks.

Hamilton and Toronto's TRIBZ release "Young Love" out now, a pop-rock ballad that trades the band's usual social urgency for something quieter and deeply personal, a trip back to first love, sweet sixteen and the memories time can never fully take away. For a band built on more than a century of combined musical history, it is a fitting turn inward, tracing the story all the way back to where guitarist Earl Johnson's own journey in music truly started.
