Sabrina and Dave from Rosewood Ave stopped by Country89 to discuss GOOD OLE DAYS, the duo's latest radio single. We talk about the creation of the song and what's coming up in 2023.

Rooted deep in the true north of Ontario, country duo Rosewood Ave take small town dreams to the next level. By a twist of fate due to a local paper mill shutdown, Dave’s family relocated to the small town of Iroquois Falls where he moved across the avenue from Sabrina. It wasn't long until they fell in love and these high school sweethearts began the journey of a lifetime as husband and wife country duo Rosewood Ave.

With the change to live music due to the pandemic, the duo began doing live streams every Saturday and even got featured on Country Rebel which brought up their video numbers to an impressive 3 million views. Rosewood Ave introduced themselves to the Country scene with a bang after having recorded with none other than Grammy nominated and multiple CMA award winning Nashville producer- Garth Fundis (Trisha Yearwood, Sugarland, Keith Whitley). The duo released their two debut singles “Fool for Love” and “Broke" written by Nashville hit writers such as Doug Johnson and Shane McAnally where they were then added on the highly regarded radio station CBC Country 179 - Sirius XM.

The Chris Goodwin Band based in Prince George, BC. 

Since being released on December 23, Shot of Jack Daniels is at over 5200 streams on Spotify alone and are hoping to build on that momentum. It's a very radio friendly song with a catchy hook to sing along to. We have already been added to Country 103 CHAW in Little Current, Hit Country 95.7 (and affiliates in Quebec), CJCI Country97 FM (and affiliates) in Prince George, and several community stations throughout the province. We were the featured artist of the week last week on True North Country, and have a front-page feature on Front Porch Music. We also just charted on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown chart. 

(Los Angeles, CA) Desert Dragon is set to release their new album, This Side of Heaven on all digital and retail platforms on November 11. The band’s first release with vocalist Keith St. John. Making up the rest of the band is Greg Patnode and Brent Barker on guitar, Rick Brandt on bass, Lenny Roberto on drums, and Michael Smith on keyboards. “We decided to go a little heavier on this album to get a little more energy,” says Patnode.

Desert Dragon vocalist St John is well known in the rock world for his time in Montrose, Lynch Mob, and currently, Kingdom Come, Burning Rain, and the Raiding the Rock Vault production on the Las Vegas strip. St John cowrote and coproduced the This Side of Heaven album with Patnode and Smith and considers this record to be “au natural and straight from the heart.”

The band has been making a name for themselves with their multi-rock sound which includes a mix of classic rock, blues rock, country rock, and progressive rock. This Side of Heaven features ten new songs that highlight a different side of the band’s talents on every track, while they salute good old fashion rock. On the album violinist Adel Eskander (Page and Plant No Quarter Tour) lends his talents to the song “Southside Of Heaven”.

A big man with a big voice. This is Coty Robinson and he is aiming to be a household name. A native of Dorchester, Ontario, Robinson is no stranger to a microphone. Having an opportunity to be one of the home game in-house announcers for the London Knights gave him valuable experience winning over a crowd. 

With the loss of his mother at a young age, Robinson dived headfirst into music as a way to cope with the pain and heartbreak. For Coty, connecting with music was a way to express his own experiences, struggles, and emotions and to honour his mother's memory.  Johnny Cash , Eric Church , Lee Brice , and Luke Combs have all influenced Coty’s sound and songwriting. When he was unable to find the words to say, a song always could. 

In 2019, after challenging Brett Kissel to a game of backstage beer-pong on Twitter, Kissel accepting, and a triumph over the country star backstage, Coty was egged on to sing in front of Kissel by some friends. Kissel joined in, and eventually, Coty sang an acapella verse and chorus of a Luke Combs hit for Kissel. Brett was blown away by not only what he heard, but also Coty's overall presence. Being a fan of country music first, Coty’s biggest aspiration is to bring the joy of connecting with fans through music, and song, and being able to share the experience with others, at any level possible. 

Coty lives to perform. His live show is electrifying and wins over new fans immediately through his heartfelt human connection. Coty is set to release his debut release in 2023. He has been recording at OCL Studios in Chestermere, Alberta with Juno-award winning and four time CCMA guitar player of the year, Matty McKay . 

The debut release features songs that Coty has co-written about life, love, loyalty, friendship, and small-town living. Whoever She Was 

is the latest single that is available on your favourite digital provider. Inspired by an incident that happened to Coty, Jason Blaine and Ben Chase wrote the song. Check it out and you too will become a fan of Coty Robinson.
