Industry 45 - From the Drum Throne

With country music being “the air they breathe”, “the food they eat” and the “song in their hearts”, Banned & Outlawed ’s authentic, down-home ode to the Country genre, fits them better than a well-worn Stetson. And it’s winning Country music Hearts. 

“Three chords and the truth” 

That’s they say country music is built on… and for their multi-award nominated Hazelridge, MB, Canadian brothers that sentiment is absolute fact as they continue to deliver their brand of blue collar, true country music as a way of life. Brothers Jon (guitar and vocals) and Daniel Hnatishin (drums and vocals), were raised on hard work, the outdoors, and music- on a 100- acre farm just east of Winnipeg, Canada. 

Over the last year, through commitment and dedication, they have built a genuine and effective brand and have been recognized by studios in Nashville, venues in Alberta, and radio stations across Canada.

Wish I didn't is Drew Taylors latest single on Country Radio!  The single expresses frustration and regret over a relationship gone sour.

Drew was the wildcard winner at Boots and Hearts 2022 for Emerging Artist

Hamilton's Brad James released a new single "Aint Enough Bars" ! he joined my on Saturday December 10th on Country 89.1FM for New Canadian Country. 

Brad was nominated for the CMAO "Rising Star" award in 2019 and a finalist in the 2018 Boots and Hearts Emerging Artists showcase.

A small-town girl of Métis descent with a big voice and an even bigger message — there’s no better way to describe the power of BC-born producer/singer/songwriter Teigen Gayse. 

She picked up her first guitar at the age of 13. It wasn’t long before song-writing became a passion. It was the ability to tell her own story, in her own words, that began Teigen’s love for country music. That desire to create pushed her to get an audio engineering degree before striking out on her own as a full-time musician.

“I’ve always been fascinated with the writers — wanting to know who created the song,” she explained. “There is no better feeling than getting to perform something I wrote in front of my fans – it's the connection with them that pushes me to work hard.”

While her 2021 single I Don’t Wanna Fall In Love Anymore has almost 3 Million TikTok views. It took home the honour of Trending Track from Stingray Radio hitting #43 on the Billboard Country Music charts, and amassing over 350,000 streams. Follow up single Blame the Wine reached #46 on the Billboard charts is currently on the rise.
