I've never been more inspired to keep creating music than I do when I listen to anything you come out with. You'll always be number 1 in my books as best musician Corb

First concert I EVER went to was "The Smalls" in Salmon Arm, BC. In Saskatoon I was given your "Five Dollar Bill" not knowing the relation till a lil later. I was born in Calgary. Great track. Country 101 ;)

I saw you when I lived in Grande Prairie. Born and raised in Calgary. Nice to hear you call it Calgry  rather than Calgary like most people do! It's been an awesome experience watching the river. In one night it went from three blocks away to one block   You never really appreciate what Mother Nature can do until you see it first hand. Wonderful job with this song! Proud of you! And proud to be a calgarian

As a native Calgarian I love this song and how it speaks to how the city pulled together to help one another.

My song 'Blood, Sweat and Water' uses Stampede as a metaphor for the city's courage, hard work and resilience. It's a tribute to everyone who's been toughing it out dealing with the flood damage in southern Alberta. The idea occurred to me after seeing all the work people had done to make Stampede happen this year. I wrote it in the last few days, and me and some of my Edmonton musician friends went in the studio and recorded it in a day.

I was really moved by how the organizers in Calgary were able to bounce back so quickly from the flood and go forward with the Stampede despite challenges I can't begin to imagine. I think it did a lot for the morale of the city, and i know playing the Coke stage this year a was very moving and special experience for me and the guys in my band. I remember seeing the 'Come Hell or Water' graphic just days after seeing the worst of the flood photos.

Nice job Calgary; you handled yourself through this thing with a lot of class.

Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mtn Boys feat. Keith Whitley - Rochester NY C1979

Still Here, Still Trying is a record about what it really feels like to carry the weight.
Leadership, fatherhood, marriage — showing up, holding it together, keeping your people safe.
The responsibility to stay strong, even when you feel anything but.

This album is about that quiet fight.
The pressure of being the one who’s supposed to keep moving forward, even on the days when the ground feels shaky beneath you.
It’s about doubt. About failing forward. About learning that strength doesn’t always look like confidence — sometimes it looks like exhaustion and still choosing to stay.

These songs live in the space between love and pressure. Between exhaustion and hope. Between being who you want to be and fearing you’ll never quite measure up.
They speak to the weight of holding a family together while trying to hold yourself together too.
But more than anything, they’re about staying.
Choosing home. Choosing love.
Choosing to keep trying.

The bonus track at the end — “I See You (Even When You Don’t)” — is from her side of the story.
It’s a reminder that the people who love us see through the armor, through the weight, through the bullshit.
They know how hard we’re trying.
They love us for it anyway.

Still here. Still fighting. Still trying.

Built to Break, Built to Mend

The song "28 Angels" is not a statistic—it’s a requiem. The number in the title holds symbolic weight, chosen not to tally tragedy but to honor the gravity of it. This song channels grief into reflection, and remembrance into melody. It was written with reverence for lives lost, voices silenced, and the emotional echoes that remain.
The composition leans on orchestral warmth, emotional vocal depth, and lyrical sensitivity—not for spectacle, but for solace. It’s a piece meant to comfort the wounded, awaken the indifferent, and hold space for conversations many find too hard to begin.
