Welcome to One to Watch Wednesday! We have a rock fueled Ontario country singer/songwriter by the name of Ty Baynton in the Zoom studio this week!

Singer / Songwriter, Saddle Bronc Rider, Hunter / Angler...those are few things he describes himself as. He forgot to mention super talented! 

Ty Baynton is known for his his high-energy live shows and  ‘stadium-sized’ vocals. He also has a stadium sized personality which makes him so fun to talk to!

Released in May of 2019, he released Rough Around The Edges, which he says was a product and vision forged primarily during a very busy four years on the road. He has released records previously – a self-titled EP in 2012 and a full-length album, Good Ol’ Boy, in 2013, but this is the first time he feels he’s truly nailed it.

Join us as we talk about his day in the life of himself, what he's currently working on and about his new song, "She Was Wrong," co-written with a previous guest by the name of Chard Morrison. You're also going to hear the song too!

You can find Ty Baynton on all streaming platforms, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and on his website at tybaynton.com.

Welcome to the first episode of One to Watch Wednesday, present by Studio B! A feature for independent and emerging artists on the rise and their songs! 
This week, we're welcoming Indigenous Country singer/songwriter Stirling John and his song "Believe."  He is a 34 year old musician at heart, who has also been  a police officer for the past 14 years and serves as a Helicopter Tactical Flight Officer, is also in a band member called Hometown Stereo (Edmonton, AB) and is a super dad to some cool kids.  Stirling was raised in a musical family in Ontario; however, work and life took a step ahead and music didn't revisit his life until a traumatic call in 2014.

2020 was Stirling’s breakout year FOR SURE!! Even through working fulltime during the pandemic with the RCMP as a frontline essential worker, he remained very proactive with writing and recording.  "The Distance", "For You", "Never Meant to Be", and “Record Time,” were all brought out in 2020! So far, in 2021, he has been nominated for a 2021 "Community Spirit Award" with the Country Music Alberta Awards as well and released a beautifully inspirational song called, "Believe."

We are featuring Stirling's latest song, "Believe."  We talk about his musical journey, his career as an RCMP officer, his soon to be superstar kids, how he is remaining proactive with his music throughout 2021 (you're going to be hearing a lot of his music this year and that's so exciting!), and about a new release coming out on Feb 14th called, "This I Know" Ft. Dahlia Wakefield (Dirt Road Angels). 

You can find Stirling on Instagram, Facebook, on ALL music platforms and at johncountrymusic.com!
You can find Studio B on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. 

Happy New Year! With a new year comes new goals, resolutions and possibilities! This year can be anything you want it to be! Maybe you're looking to switch genres, try a new style or vibe, make some new music you've always wanted to, go solo or start a new project? 
HUGE thank you to Patrick Kordyback for being our guest on this episode! He is the lead singer of the band STEREOS, which after an eight year hiatus is back and they dropped their new single Sunset Gold in February of 2020. They're also known for the bops, "Summer Girl," "Throw Your Hands Up" and "Turn It Up!"  After appearing on a Much Music show called disBand that had unknown bands perform for industry judges and then get told whether they had what it took or if they should disband, their careers took off and they were one of the top bands in Canada. They're still together and going strong by the way! Patrick has decided to take another journey with his music (while also staying with STEREOS of course) and work on another project in the country genre - solo. He's been working alongside some top notch talent and industry to get things rolling. He's sharing advice and experience on all things new - when it comes to a new you (musically speaking), new project or new gig in the music industry.
Fun fact - I've seen STEREOS in concert twice. Once at The Gateway (SAIT) in 2009 and at The Den (University of Calgary) in 2011. 
You can follow him on Instagram at @kordybacktothefuture and STEREOS at @wearestereos and of course on Facebook.

Music empowers, strengthens and inspires us and people around us. So why don't we in the music industry empower, strengthen and inspire each other?  In this episode of Studio B, award nominated Calgary singer/songwriter Aaron Pollock and I talk about the importance and positive outcomes of collaborations and co-writing. We talk about how you can find your tribe and future collaborations and the importance of songwriting with others and how that grows the music community. We talk about how collaborations and co-writing can provide diversity, success, knowledge and even promote more creativity in the music industry - in whatever genre you're in.
