href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Brayden King</strong></span></a> is “living the dream’ after placing 55th on American Idol 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. So It's a real blessing and I’m very thankful,” he said.</p><p>“<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> was written about a hangover and it’s kind of funny how it comes out with a positive-sounding feel with but a bit of darker undertones in the lyrics. But it is definitely an anthemic sing-a-long song and people have been loving it. I wrote it with a couple of buddies of mine, Drew Shalka and Mark Maclure out of Edmonton just super stoked with how it turned out and people have been loving this one, so it’s a real blessing they have had such a great response” he said.</p><p>King gives each crowd a high-energy, hard-hitting performance, and leaves them wanting more. “If you’re looking for a party, I’ll bring it every single time,” says King. </p><p>His next single “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fCguqEo1gADoSkTGI47qJ" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>Bad Night to Be A Beer</strong></span></a>” is also the name of his new tour.</p><p>“I am touring with a full band. We’re having a blast.  We started off in Lethbridge on May 16th and headed out to Red Deer, Calgary, Edmonton, Grand Prairie, and then into B.C. doing Sicamous, Kamloops, Penticton, Kelowna, and Vancouver. And then we hopped back to my home province. We are doing three shows in Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Weyburn, and Regina to end it off. It’s been a lot of fun,” he said.</p><p>His band for this tour includes guitarist <strong>Roman Koslowski</strong>, drummer <strong>Cody Mack</strong> and bassist <strong>Cam Dougall</strong> and co-headliner, B.C. musician <strong>Beamer Wigley</strong> with whom he will be sharing the band.<o:p></o:p></p><p>King is planning to release a new single every eight weeks probably for the next two years.  </p><p>‘’Brayden opens up about losing his mother and what this journey has been like without her,'' says Cyr.</p><p>To hear my interview with <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>, go to <a class="no-pjax" href="www.musicsjourney.com" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(240,75%,60%);"><strong>www.musicsjourney.com</strong></span></a> or click on the link below.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.musicsjourney.com/1084946/12984976-music-s-journey-interview-224-w-country-artist-brayden-king-latest-single-livin-the-dream" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#05c1f6;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #224 w/ Country Artist Brayden King Latest Single ‘’Livin' The Dream''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><yt-formatted-string force-default-style="">Brayden King - Livin the Dream (Live Acoustic)</yt-formatted-string><strong>Brayden King - Livin' The Dream (Live Acoustic)</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="38UQoW5BGyc" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/38UQoW5BGyc?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Brayden King - Bad Night To Be A Beer</strong></p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="Ss__g0QPAJI" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ss__g0QPAJI?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/1084946/12984976-music-s-journey-interview-224-w-country-artist-brayden-king-latest-single-livin-the-dream" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#05c1f6;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #224 w/ Country Artist Brayden King Latest Single ‘’Livin' The Dream''</strong></span></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Follow Brayden King</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.braydenkingmusic.com/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Website</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/braydenkingmusic" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Facebook</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/braydenkingmusic/" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Instagram</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/@braydenkingmusic" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>YouTube</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fCguqEo1gADoSkTGI47qJ" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Spotify</strong></span></a><strong>/</strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/brayden-king/1535886120" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(210,75%,60%);"><strong>Apple</strong></span></a></p></div>

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

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:#0ac4ec;"><strong>Music's Journey INTERVIEW #222 w/ Canadian Classic Roots/Blues Rock Band The Commoners Overnight Sensation with New Album ''Find A Better Way''</strong></span></a></p><p>Canadian classic roots and blues rock band “<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>” released “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/6GevXItFTFNqPQQvEW8W9C" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(150,75%,60%);"><strong>More Than Mistakes</strong></span></a>,” the fourth single from the critically acclaimed sophomore album “<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>.”  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.
