Brantford Americana Artist KC Armstrong Delivers Festive Fun with "I Hate That Sweater"

Fri Dec 13, 2024

Traditionally, Christmas shopping has seen one half of a couple get all of their presents purchased, assorted, and gift-wrapped weeks if not months before the big day. The other half? Well, they leave things until the last minute, plead with the store clerks not to close on time, and take whatever item remains on the shelves, at the cash register, or in the backroom. Now Brantford, Ontario-based Americana artist KC Armstrong has crafted the perfect, toe-tapping, upbeat narrative with his latest single, "I Hate That Sweater."

Brantford, Ontario-based artist KC Armstrong has had a long, illustrious career thanks to fine songwriting and fun, infectious arrangements that pack a wallop. And although the title might lead you to think otherwise, "I Don't Care" is a great, Americana-laced barroom keeper off his Finally Crafted effort that proves Armstrong cares about offering finely-crafted nuggets that hit you in all the right places.

"I Don't Care" is a beer-raising, brassy, and bouncy slice of Americana from its saxophone courtesy of Sean O'Connor and the ivory ticklings of keyboardist Steve O'Connor. From there, KC Armstrong's vocals are accompanied by backing vocalist MaryEllen Allen, giving "I Don't Care" a gritty but groovy vibe from start to finish. Guitarists Scott Utting and Barry Haggarty adds some great work throughout, while Armstrong and Jake Adams round out the rhythm section, playing bass and drums, respectively.
