Appalachian Mountains in the western part of North Carolina, which gave him a grounding in rural musical styles, although he listened to a wide range of pop music during his teens, from Garth Brooks to Guns N' Roses. He attended Western Carolina University, earning All-Southern Conference honors as a baseball player. Moving to Nashville to seek a career in music, he developed contacts with some of the city's best musicians, who later played on his debut album. He didn't wait to score a major label record contract, but instead toured the South with his guitar, gradually building up a following. He self-released Take It All In on his own Still 7 Records label on June 13, 2006. Two years later he released Shine. The album's title track was also the anthem for the two-day music festival Stillwell created, Shinefest.\n\nPlanned as an annual event, the inaugural Shinefest 2008 was held in Fontana Dam, NC. ~ William Ruhlmann","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":3000,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features124/v4/3e/5f/dd/3e5fdd1d-d7e5-5d6e-cfe5-5b3cf626eec4/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":3000,"textColor3":"9ba5b0","textColor2":"96b6cc","textColor4":"7994a5","textColor1":"c2ccda","bgColor":"020b0a","recommendedCropCodes":["vb"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":3000,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features124/v4/3e/5f/dd/3e5fdd1d-d7e5-5d6e-cfe5-5b3cf626eec4/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":3000,"textColor3":"9ba5b0","textColor2":"96b6cc","textColor4":"7994a5","textColor1":"c2ccda","bgColor":"020b0a","hasP3":false},"genreNames":["Country"]}},{"id":"212023795","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/212023795?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1586,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features124/v4/1d/0e/73/1d0e735d-b370-d020-bc5f-4d7df4feefa2/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1586,"textColor3":"3f362e","textColor2":"372a1d","textColor4":"5b5045","textColor1":"150900","bgColor":"e8e9e3","hasP3":false},"hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1586,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features124/v4/1d/0e/73/1d0e735d-b370-d020-bc5f-4d7df4feefa2/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1586,"textColor3":"3f362e","textColor2":"372a1d","textColor4":"5b5045","textColor1":"150900","bgColor":"e8e9e3","recommendedCropCodes":["vb","va"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"origin":"Pembroke, Ontario, Canada","url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jason-blaine/212023795","genreNames":["Country"],"artistBio":"Award-winning Canadian performer Jason Blaine is one of the nation's most popular country artists, balancing traditional sounds and down-home themes against an up-to-date, rock-oriented approach. Blaine was born Jason McEwen in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada on April 19, 1980. McEwen drew inspiration from his father and older brother, who loved country music and played in a band as a hobby. When he was eight years old, McEwen began playing guitar, and at 16 he took up songwriting, soon joining his father and brother in the group. After completing high school, McEwen studied business at Algonquin College in Pembroke, but he hadn't given up on his dream of becoming a professional musician, working as a guitarist and backing vocalist for singer John Landry. In 2002, McEwen became a contestant in Project Discovery, a nationwide talent search sponsored by the Canadian branch of CMT (Country Music Television). McEwen was the first-place winner in the contest, and adopted the stage name Jason Blaine to avoid confusion with another Project Discovery winner, Jason McCoy. \r\nIn 2003, Blaine released his debut single, \"That's What I Do,\" and in 2005, he issued an album, While We Were Waiting, on the independent Jay Bird label. In 2006, the Universal-distributed Canadian label Icon Records reissued his debut LP, while Koch Entertainment signed Blaine for his second album, 2008's Make My Move, which featured two minor Canadian hits, \"Rock in My Boot\" and \"Good Day to Get Gone.\" By the time the album was released, Blaine had relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in hopes of expanding his career. He landed a publishing deal with Anchor Down/New Millennium Music, and scored a new record deal with eOne Records. Blaine's first album for eOne, Sweet Sundown, arrived in 2010, while Life So Far followed in 2011; the latter included the tune \"They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore,\" which was named Single of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association. \r\nArriving in 2013, Everything I Love was the album that established Blaine as a major country star in Canada; three singles from the LP -- \"Rock It Country Girl,\" \"Feels Like That,\" and \"Friends of Mine\" -- reached the Top 20 of the Canadian Country Singles chart. In 2014, Blaine signed a new publishing deal with Word Country, the country-music branch of Christian music giant Word Music Publishing. Released in 2015, Country Side was another major success in Canada, spawning three hit singles: \"Dance with My Daughter,\" \"Spotlight,\" and the title tune, which became 2015's Most-Played Canadian Country Song of the Year. (The performance rights organization SOCAN declared Blaine had the Airplay Single of the Year in Canada in 2014, 2015, and 2016.) In 2017, Blaine moved to the Canadian label Wax Records, and his first release for the label, the six-song EP Boy with a Guitar, appeared in November of that year. The EP included the Canadian hit \"Born to Love.\" ~ Mark Deming","isGroup":false,"bornOrFormed":"April 19, 1980","name":"Jason Blaine","editorialArtwork":{}}},{"id":"112440921","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/112440921?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1001,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/f2/32/2f/f2322f74-b994-2d5d-d6f5-f6676f563325/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1001,"textColor3":"c5a792","textColor2":"deb89e","textColor4":"b59783","textColor1":"f1ccb1","bgColor":"151515","hasP3":false},"hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1001,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/f2/32/2f/f2322f74-b994-2d5d-d6f5-f6676f563325/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1001,"textColor3":"c5a792","textColor2":"deb89e","textColor4":"b59783","textColor1":"f1ccb1","bgColor":"151515","recommendedCropCodes":["vb","va","vf"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"origin":"Australia","url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/gord-bamford/112440921","genreNames":["Country"],"artistBio":"A successful Canadian country artist born in Australia, Gord Bamford moved to the open spaces of Lacombe, Alberta, as a small child. He was encouraged to pursue music by his mother, who was a country singer. His first taste of success came in 1995, when he won the Nornet Radio Search for the Stars talent competition. A debut single soon followed, and was enough of a radio presence to warrant the production of Bamford's debut album, God's Green Earth, which was released in 2000. The self-released collection was well received, and a number of singles were released from its track listing. The pull of Nashville tugged at Bamford, and in 2003 he began to work with some of the city's top producers and songwriters, resulting in album number two, Life Is Good. The album, released in 2004, was filled with hit Canadian singles, including a Top Ten placement for \"All About Her.\" The next three years were spent performing with some of the industry's giants (Tim McGraw, Terri Clark, and Kenny Rogers, to name a few) as well as earning nominations at the Canadian Country Music Awards. His third album, the Byron Hill-produced Honkytonks and Heartaches, was released in September of 2007. The album (and its debut single, \"Blame It on That Red Dress\") was a hit, earning Bamford a nomination in 2008's Juno Awards show. ~ Chris True","isGroup":false,"name":"Gord Bamford","editorialArtwork":{}}},{"id":"485883","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/485883?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music115/v4/12/23/80/1223804f-92e3-5bf5-d35d-cf962a9fa80a/mzi.kllcbflk.jpg/{w}x{h}ac.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"3b312b","textColor2":"221213","textColor4":"483832","textColor1":"110a0a","bgColor":"e4d0ad","hasP3":false},"hero":[],"origin":"Bethal Acres, OK","url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/wade-hayes/485883","genreNames":["Country"],"artistBio":"Raised in Bethel Acres, Oklahoma, Wade Hayes grew up around country music. His father Don was a professional musician who played bars and honky tonks across Oklahoma. Influenced by his father, he began playing music as a child. Initially, he played mandolin for a while, but he switched to guitar at the age of 11. Inspired by honky tonk, outlaw country, and bluegrass, Hayes developed a distinctive style at an early age. \r\nWhen he was a pre-teen, his father signed a contract with a Nashville-based independent record label and moved the family to Music City. Within a year, the label had folded, leaving the Hayes family broke. They struggled to return to Oklahoma, where Wade began playing guitar and singing backup in his father's band, Country Heritage. Following his graduation from high school, Wade went to three different colleges, but he decided to drop out of school to pursue music after seeing Ricky Skaggs on the 1991 Country Music Awards show. He moved to Nashville and beginning playing on demo tapes, all the while working on his own original material. Shortly after he settled down in Nashville, Hayes began writing songs with Chick Rains, who arranged an audition for the vocalist with record producer Don Cook (the Mavericks, Brooks & Dunn). Cook was impressed and began working with the singer, eventually getting him in contact with executives at Columbia Records. \r\nOld Enough to Know Better, Hayes' debut album, was released in 1995. The record was an immediate hit, with its title track becoming a number one single. The Academy of Country Music nominated him for Top New Male Vocalist of the Year for 1995. Hayes' second album, On a Good Night, was released in the summer of 1996. Although it wasn't as big a hit as his debut, it still sold respectably. \r\nHayes' third album, When the Wrong One Loves You Right, was released in early 1998, generating a Top 10 hit --\"The Day That She Left Tulsa (In a Chevy)\"-- before sliding down the charts. Following the 2000 release of Highways and Heartaches, Hayes parted ways with Monument Records. He formed a duo with Mark McClurg called McHayes in 2003. The pair recorded an album for Universal South, but after the first single, \"It Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You,\" didn't go further than 41 on the country charts, the label shelved the record and the duo split in 2004. Hayes spent four years away from the spotlight, returning in 2008 to play guitar with Randy Owen's touring group. Hayes self-released Place to Turn Around in 2009 but his career was slowed in 2011 when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. After a successful recovery, he resurfaced in 2015 with Go Live Your Life, which was released on Conabor Records. The same label issued Old Country Song in 2017. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","isGroup":false,"bornOrFormed":"April 20, 1969","name":"Wade Hayes","editorialArtwork":{}}},{"id":"23149694","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/23149694?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":2400,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features114/v4/65/09/86/6509864f-c6da-b299-36fd-15e7a255580a/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":2400,"textColor3":"b6b2b3","textColor2":"cdbdba","textColor4":"a49795","textColor1":"e3dee0","bgColor":"040203","hasP3":false},"hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":2400,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features114/v4/65/09/86/6509864f-c6da-b299-36fd-15e7a255580a/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":2400,"textColor3":"b6b2b3","textColor2":"cdbdba","textColor4":"a49795","textColor1":"e3dee0","bgColor":"040203","recommendedCropCodes":["vb","va","vc"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"origin":"Fox Brook, Nova Scotia, Canada","url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/george-canyon/23149694","genreNames":["Country"],"artistBio":"Canadian country music singer George Canyon has established himself as a bit of a renaissance man. A native of Nova Scotia, Canyon initially tried his hand at a music career in the 1990s, recording a pair of solo albums before abandoning his aspirations to work as a bylaw officer and support his young family. In 2004, at the urging of his wife, he auditioned for the second season of the U.S.A. Network's talent competition Nashville Star, where he eventually landed runner-up. With his newly acquired international profile, he resumed his recording career, signing with Universal and releasing his third album, One Good Friend, which won him a 2005 Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year. The 2006 follow-up Somebody Wrote Love fared similarly, earning him another Juno and increasing his audience throughout North America. \r\nPrior to his musical endeavors, Canyon's first love was aviation, and as a young Air Cadet he dreamed of someday joining the Royal Air Force. It was a dream he would have to abandon when, at age 14, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Both aviation and his commitment to diabetes research came to play a role once he established himself as a music star. His philanthropic work supporting Canadian troops was recognized when the country's defense minister appointed him as honorary colonel of the the 14 Wing Greenwood air base, then later as the commandant of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. Overcoming the adversity of his disease, Canyon finally earned his private pilot's license in 2009. He became a national spokesman for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and flew his own plane across Canada, giving concerts and visiting with children afflicted with the disease. \r\nHis 2010 single \"I Believe in Angels\" became an official theme song of the JDRF in the U.S. and earned him a SOCAN Award the following year as one of the most played songs on Canadian country radio. His 2011 Richard Marx-produced record Better Be Home Soon was certified gold, and in addition to his musical and philanthropic endeavors Canyon began to establish an acting career, appearing on shows like Heartland and Trailer Park Boys. He was even named the official anthem singer of the Calgary Flames NHL team. He continues to tour North America and Europe and in 2014 released his first best-of collection, Decade of Hits. ~ Timothy Monger","isGroup":false,"bornOrFormed":"August 22, 1970","name":"George Canyon","editorialArtwork":{}}},{"id":"79256045","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/79256045?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1500,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music125/v4/e1/39/aa/e139aa52-cefd-7b77-2b9e-d9607a8b025b/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1500,"textColor3":"352d22","textColor2":"1f1c1c","textColor4":"453c33","textColor1":"0b0906","bgColor":"dbbc90","hasP3":false},"hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1500,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music125/v4/e1/39/aa/e139aa52-cefd-7b77-2b9e-d9607a8b025b/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1500,"textColor3":"352d22","textColor2":"1f1c1c","textColor4":"453c33","textColor1":"0b0906","bgColor":"dbbc90","recommendedCropCodes":["vb","va","vf"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"origin":"Tulsa, OK","url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jon-wolfe/79256045","genreNames":["Country"],"artistBio":"Since his mid-2000s debut, Jon Wolfe has stayed rooted to traditional country while incorporating 21st-century production.

Cassidy's first passion was building them with his father and brother. Music came calling, though, and he got a guitar at 13 with the idea of becoming a rock star. It was country music that eventually claimed his heart, however. One night, after Cassidy had sung a couple country songs at a karaoke bar in his rich baritone voice, a country cover band that had just lost its lead singer approached him about stepping in, and Cassidy's professional career began. In time he became frustrated by the cover band format, starting his own band in 2007, mixing cover songs with his own originals in the group's sets. He never looked back after that, touring Texas constantly, growing a fan base, and getting singles on the local charts. His debut album, My Redemption, appeared in 2011, following by a second, Keep It Country, two years later in 2013. The self-released 717 arrived in 2015, and he stayed independent for 2017's self-titled album. ~ Steve Leggett","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1200,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/5b/df/66/5bdf668e-d141-56d7-39a5-1ebcead1443f/mzl.ilabfwiq.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1200,"textColor3":"c1c1c1","textColor2":"cfcfcf","textColor4":"a8a8a8","textColor1":"efefef","bgColor":"0b0b0b","recommendedCropCodes":["vb"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":1200,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/5b/df/66/5bdf668e-d141-56d7-39a5-1ebcead1443f/mzl.ilabfwiq.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1200,"textColor3":"c1c1c1","textColor2":"cfcfcf","textColor4":"a8a8a8","textColor1":"efefef","bgColor":"0b0b0b","hasP3":false},"genreNames":["Country"]}}]},"appears-on-albums":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/272409627/view/appears-on-albums?l=en-US","attributes":{"title":"Appears On"},"data":[]},"top-music-videos":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/272409627/view/top-music-videos?l=en-US","attributes":{"title":"Top Videos"},"data":[]},"playlists":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/272409627/view/playlists?l=en-US","attributes":{"title":"Artist Playlists"},"data":[]},"compilation-albums":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/272409627/view/compilation-albums?l=en-US","attributes":{"title":"Compilations"},"data":[]},"singles":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/272409627/view/singles?l=en-US","attributes":{"title":"Singles & EPs"},"data":[]},"full-albums":{"href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/272409627/view/full-albums?l=en-US","attributes":{"title":"Albums"},"data":[{"id":"276391024","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/276391024?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/8a/30/2e/mzi.seyaicxu.tif/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"3f3e3c","textColor2":"111111","textColor4":"404140","textColor1":"0f0d0c","bgColor":"ffffff","hasP3":false},"artistName":"Kevin Chase","url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-wont-fall/276391024","trackCount":10,"releaseDate":"2008-03-04","name":"I Won't Fall","artistUrl":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/kevin-chase/272409627","editorialArtwork":{},"playParams":{"id":"276391024","kind":"album"}}}]}},"meta":{"views":{"order":["featured-release","latest-release","top-songs","featured-albums","full-albums","top-music-videos","playlists","singles","live-albums","compilation-albums","appears-on-albums","more-to-hear","more-to-see","similar-artists"]}}}]}
