Today, he invites you to celebrate the sun in style with the release of his new EP <a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Back On A Beach</strong></span></a>, and focus track “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Way I Drink</strong></span></a>”, out today via <strong>Kala Records</strong>. Produced by Grammy winner <strong>Noah Gordon</strong> (Keith Urban, Billy Ray Cyrus, Darius Rucker), and <strong>Sandy Chila</strong> (Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera), the EP is reminiscent of country stars like Jake Owen, Sam Hunt, and Brett Kissel. "<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Way I Drink</strong></span></a>" is currently on Spotify's New Music Friday Country playlist. <br><br>Bradley’s greatest summer memories have been over one too many Jamesons in the backyard and cruising down the middle of the lake with speakers blaring. It’s where he’s had his first brush with true love and his toughest of heartbreaks. His summer anthems like, ‘<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Way I Drink</strong></span></a>”, “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Back On A Beach</strong></span></a>”, and “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Headed Home</strong></span></a>”, tell the stories of lived experiences and rowdy nights out with best friends that stick with you forever. These attributes along with Bradley’s signature vocal style are what make his new five-track EP, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Back On A Beac</strong></span></a><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>h</strong></span>, an anthem-filled banger. Written between Nashville, and L.A., it’s a piece of work that embodies how far Bradley’s songwriting has grown since his debut album, <strong>My Boots</strong>, in 2016. The EP is hooky, positive, and upbeat with an infectious energy not all artists can create. His passion for performing and edgy country sound puts him a step above his peers. <br><br>The EP’s second track and radio single, “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Way I Drink</strong></span></a>”, is exactly the fun-filled knockout one thinks of when one hears the name, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://playitcole.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Cole Bradley</strong></span></a>. Its up-tempo rhythm, fun melodies, and crazy lyrics mean business when it comes to getting the party started. It highlights all the stupid things you find yourself getting into on a wild night out. It’s an ode to those who are the life of the party.

Since then, he has fostered a passion for performing and sharing his music with others. Having worked with world-class writers and opening for iconic country acts like Thomas Rhett and High Valley among others, Bradley is just getting started. Since his move to Nashville in 2016, he has continued to work on his craft while playing at local venues including the historic Bluebird Cafe where he made his debut in September 2017. Bradley has also played other prominent venues since his move to Tennessee including the Bridgestone Arena, Whiskey Jam, and the <strong>Listening Room Café</strong>.  In 2020, Bradley collaborated with his friends in the NHL to sing along to a previous single, “<strong>Party Don’t Start</strong>” and the video landed him on the <strong>NHL Network</strong>. In 2023, Bradley will be rocking the <strong>Calgary Stampede</strong> stages and other venues in Canada and has plans to tour various parts of the country, and the United States including TN, WA, NC, AZ, and FL.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/13089972-music-s-journey-interview-229-w-country-artist-cole-bradley-unveils-his-new-ep-back-on-a-beach-and-his-summer-banger-way-i-drink" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#0ac4ec;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #229 w/ Country Artist Cole Bradley Unveils His New EP ''Back On A Beach'' and His Summer Banger ‘’Way I Drink''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Follow Cole Bradley</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://playitcole.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Website</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/playitcole" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Facebook</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/playitcole?lang=en" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Twitter</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/playitcole/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Instagram</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/@playitcole" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>YouTube</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/55NtSYlGBKRSmSlj8hsZge" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Spotify</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/album/back-on-a-beach-ep/1681914561" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Apple</strong></span></a><a data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>/</strong></span></a><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@playitcole?lang=en" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>TikTok</strong></span></a><br> </p></div>

this year.  </p><p>The 22-year-old musician, originally from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, hangs his hat in Lethbridge.</p><p>Brayden has been out on tour since May 16th to open a western Canadian tour, which goes all over Alberta and B.C. and ends in Regina on June 3rd with his good friend, country artist <strong>Beamer Wigley</strong>.</p><p>‘’I had the chance to catch up with Brayden to talk about his new music, tour, and being on American Idol,'' says <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Kim Cyr</strong></span></a><a

data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#000000;">.</span><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong> </strong></span></a> </p><p>“I made a TikTok a few years ago talking about how I would never do this,” King admitted.</p><p><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">"One day I woke up to a DM (direct message) on Instagram from an American Idol casting producer. She's like, 'Hey Brayden, I've seen your videos on TikTok and I really like your voice. Would you like to potentially audition for American Idol?' "</span></p><p>King said he has spoken about how he felt the shows are possibly scripted after friends of his had negative experiences with them, he said without getting into details he was against shows like American Idol for a long time.</p><p>However, after being approached by American Idol who saw his singing videos on TikTok, King said he realized there was nothing to lose in accepting an invitation to try out for the show.</p><p>“When they approached me and said they’d fly me down and pay for everything, I realized I had nothing to lose and I might as well go and try it,” he said.</p><p>Before performing for the three celebrity judges, King said he first had to make it past two virtual auditions with executive producers.</p><p>After two successful virtual auditions, King said he was then given the opportunity to perform in front of the three celebrity judges at a hotel in Las Vegas.</p><p>“I went in and they [the judges] were very kind and we talked for quite a while and then I sang an original song of mine called ‘Down That Road’ and I honestly wasn’t very nervous in the moment,” King said.</p><p>“I definitely didn’t prepare in a similar way as I do for a show. When we go to play a show it’s like the boys and I all together smack each other on the backs and we go. Here I didn’t have the boys and there wasn’t a crowd, it’s a totally different performing experience,” King said.</p><p>After the audition, King said Bryan, Perry, and Richie got him to bring his father into the room and broke the news that they had unanimously agreed to put him through to the Hollywood round.</p><p>“It has been a very cool experience for me and I’m very thankful,” King said. “The coolest part for me has been meeting all the other artists from all these different places in America that I got to meet; it’s been a crazy experience.”</p><p>"Katy said, 'Well Greg, Lionel gave Brayden a yes, and I want to give you a yes,' and then Luke said, 'I'm going to give him his third yes.' " King recounted. "And then they all screamed together, 'You're going to Hollywood.' "</p><p>He advanced through the first two rounds of “Hollywood Week”, and finished in the Top 55.</p><p>‘’All I would say is I don’t think I’ll ever be that nervous again in my life. So for any upcoming performances. I don’t normally get nervous but I don’t know if there will ever be a high-pressure situation quite like that. So it just set me up for I don’t think there will be anything to be scared of going on any stage or doing anything in my career because that was freaky. And I met so many like-minded artists and took away a lot of friends from that whole scenario. it was pretty cool,” he said.</p><p>‘’So pretty cool,” he said adding he said he enjoyed the experience.</p><p>‘’<a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Brayden King</strong></span></a> released his new single ‘’<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/brayden-king/1535886120" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Livin' The Dream</strong></span></a>'' in March of this year.''</p><p>“‘It is one of the coolest things in the world, honestly. I never expected this song to do anything like it has been.

thought it would be more appealing to a wider audience.  My grandfather worked harder than anyone I knew and I respected the hell out of him for that.  We grew up in a small town based around factory and farm work.  I was a third-generation factory worker at one time before I found my musical path.  I feel his work ethic was instilled in me and is what pushed me to this point.”  </span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(33,37,41);">Sonically, we hear an influence of earlier works such as “</span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Ayy9NH4eLzpYWe1UYkgV"

deeply for those around him in his life.  His new single ‘’<strong>Work</strong>'' reflects that growth and love.''</p><p><i>Aaron shares ‘’I got into music to save my life and writing music is from my soul.  I wanted to write to help save other people's lives.  I want to share a story that happened to me recently.  I was at a concert a few weeks ago and an artist came up to me and said, ‘’You don't know this but your EP Highway Mile saved my life.''  I chatted with him for a while and realized that this was a life-changing moment for him and for me.  He said that he had listened to my EP every single day and that it saved his life.  That is the reason I started to write songs.  It helped me and I wanted to help others.  It fulfilled me forever.  That is why I am in this because Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen saved my life.'' </i></p><p>To hear my interview with <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.aaronallenmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span

style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Aaron Allen</strong></span></span></a><span> burst onto the Canadian Country scene in 2019 and immediately started turning heads with his first single “<strong>Where Music Comes From</strong>”.  A family man, previous tattoo shop owner, and all-around down-to-earth guy, Allen’s writing style of being transparent about stories from his real-life experiences quickly got him noticed and earned him the attention of local industry shakers and fans alike.  </span></p><p><span>Carried by a relatable and genuinely differentiated brand, his ascent was lightning fast by industry standards.  Thanks to his partnership with <strong>multi-award-winning Producer</strong> <strong>Jeff “Diesel”  Dalziel</strong>, which he credits as a defining turning point in his career, Aaron has learned to craft songs that stand out in the Country landscape. After only 3 years of professional activity, Aaron is a mainstay on Canadian Country radio, with 7 of his 8 released tracks securing rotation at various stations in Canada, earning him close to 10,000 spins to date.  A notable success that was partly made possible thanks to the steady encouragement of his most dedicated supporters, the editorial curators of Apple Music Canada, who have championed him from his first release.  Aaron has been and continues to be featured on 17 different Apple Music playlists since his debut single, including 10 of the 30 Country specific playlists a feat that allowed him to receive over 4.5 million streams through the streaming platform.  </span></p><p><span>A true writer at heart, </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.aaronallenmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Aaron Allen</strong></span></span></a><span> wasted no time to leverage these early successes into a flourishing songwriter career, earning his 1st Top 40 record in Canada in 2022 with Warner Music’s <strong>David Boyd Janes</strong>’ “<strong>It Couldn’t Hurt</strong>”.  Now an in-demand partner on both sides of the border, he wrote over 300  songs in the past year, with collaborators including James Barker, Jimmy Thow, Danny Mirank, and Phil Barton (Brett Kissel, Lee Briten) all the while building an ongoing relationship with Nashville-based Demolition Publishing (Kenny Chesney, Lee Brice, Maddie &amp; Tae).  A flurry of partnerships led to his signing by Arts &amp; Crafts Publishing in early 2021 to develop the sync side of his career.  Allen landed his first sync with CTV’s Hallmark series “<strong>Ride</strong>” in April 2023.  With clear momentum behind his singular brand, the ear of influential tastemakers, and a top-level team behind him, Aaron has become a mainstay in Canadian Country Music. </span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><strong>Aaron Allen - Highway Mile (Official Music Video)</strong></span></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="uShndV--498" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uShndV--498?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Aaron Allen - Good Tattoo (Official Lyric Video)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="-SuvWBddFYQ" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-SuvWBddFYQ?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Aaron Allen - Where Music Comes From (Official Lyric Video)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="E5hZ0n_cHyU" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E5hZ0n_cHyU?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/12961659-music-s-journey-interview-223-w-award-winning-country-artist-aaron-allen-new-single-work" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#10b0ec;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #223 w/ Award-Winning Country Artist Aaron Allen New Single ‘’Work''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><strong>Follow Aaron Allen</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.aaronallenmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Website</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Facebook</strong></span></span><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/AaronAllenMusic" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Twitter</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/aaron.allen.music/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Instagram</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Ayy9NH4eLzpYWe1UYkgV" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Spotify</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/aaron-allen/1453306732" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>Apple</strong></span></span></a><span><strong>/</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/@aaronallenmusic947/featured" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><span><strong>YouTube</strong></span></span></a></p><p> </p></div>

data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Find A Better Way</strong></span></a>.”  The single was released by <a class="no-pjax" href="https://gypsysoulrecords.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Gypsy Soul Records</strong></span></a> on Tuesday, March 7th.  </p><p>A rock anthem to its core, the title track, “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/the-commoners/948762323" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Find A Better Way</strong></span></a>,” carries a message that encapsulates the entirety of the record. With growing uncertainties, society faces challenges previously unseen, leaving the collective in a perpetual state of questioning, with doubt directed towards governments, public leaders, and our neighbours. From the aftermath of COVID-19, the increasing mental health crisis in North America, war crimes in Ukraine, and the explosion of social movements and protests, one thought unites us all—we need to find a better way to co-exist on this planet.  “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/the-commoners/948762323" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Find A Better Way</strong></span></a>” takes an inward look at confronting our tumultuous past and accepting personal accountabilities to uncover the strength needed to seek a solution.</p><p>“<a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/the-commoners/948762323" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><strong>Find a Better Way</strong></span></a>” is the only track on the record to be mixed in Australia. The band worked with legend Producer/Mixer <strong>Kevin Shirley</strong> (the Black Crowes, Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin) at <strong>Caveman Studios</strong> in Sydney. Kevin’s mix helped set the perfect tone for the album, which <a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Ross Hayes Citrullo</strong></span></a> was then able to follow for the rest of the record. Kevin’s contribution set <a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>The Commoners</strong></span></a> on the right path with this epic title track.</p><p>Mastering was also an important consideration for the band and their label. For this stage, the team sent their record all the way to Nashville, Tennessee to <strong>Pete Lyman</strong> (Tedeschi Trucks, Blackberry Smoke, Chris Stapleton, Rival Sons) at Infrasonic Sound. Pete’s specialty for mastering southern rock made the mixes come alive, making them sonically competitive to the band’s influences.</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>The Commoners</strong></span></a> is a Canadian rock band that is comprised of <a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Chris Medhurst</strong></span></a> on lead vocals &amp; guitar, <span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>R</strong></span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>oss Hayes Citrullo</strong></span></a> on lead guitar, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Ben Spiller</strong></span></a> on bass &amp; piano, and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://thecommoners.ca/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(30,75%,60%);"><strong>Adam Cannon</strong></span></a> on drums.
