NEW MUSIC FRIDAY....FRESH TUNES EDITION (part 2)

There as been some fricken STELLAR new tunes that dropped this week...it was hard to just grab 4!

🌾 Orvald Wayne just released a new version of Dear Alberta which will be on his upcoming EP. TAYLER GRACE 🪩 does the harmonies on this track and it's just so fricken beautiful. Move over Paul Brant I think its the new Alberta anthem.

🪕 jed and the valentine just dropped Banshee and I'm sucker for a banjo break down. This tune also features Tristen Tiefenbach and Jarred Albright .

💤 DijahSB I'm always a big fan of their IDGAF cool kid raps!

🥟 Would it really be the summer without a new Empanadas Ilegales track? Probably not! We could always use some more good Latin vibes on the deck in the sun.

Let me if you dropped a new tune recently too that the world needs to hear 👇

NEXT STOP ON OUR MUSICAL ROAD TRIP....ALBERTA 🙌

It's been a while since I did one of these because I've been so busy going to concerts and photographing them, but here are a few songs from some of the awesome bands I've shot recently (and the photos)

🐞 Tina I saw her with Mya Hill and Tayler Grace at The Aviary and the show was just so vibey and beautiful.

💀 🇨🇦 Western Death Ballads 🇨🇦 I saw them open for the Alberta Outlaw Country Music Show V1 by Tear In Your Beer | Artist and Production Collective and it was a real boot stompin good time. Also on the bill was Jacquie Daniels & The Blank Slates and The Give Em Hell Boys!

🐍 Rättylsnäke was everything good about 80s hair metal! They were supporting Prisoner and Nokturna on their Call Of The Reaper Tour at The Dive Bar Edmonton and it was an absolutely STELLAR time.

Have you discovered any new bands from the summer concerts or festivals you've been too lately?
