There are a lot of reasons why Brett Kissel is the perfect artist to host Canada’s Country Radio on Apple Music Country—not least of which is the fact that he released a song called “Airwaves” in 2015. Apple Music radio will be globally launching its first artist-led radio show out of Canada – Canada’s Country Radio today, Jan 28th at 12pm PT. The new show will be hosted by multiple CCMA, JUNO Award-winner Brett Kissel. Inspired by the success of the Apple Music playlist, “Canada’s Country,” each episode of Canada’s Country Radio Brett will dive into heartfelt conversations with his fellow Country Music friends, where nothing is off limits, and all will be having a good time. Brett’s first guest will be another Country superstar, and the 2021 CCMA female artist of the year, Tenille Townes. The Canada’s Country Radio Apple Music destination will feature on-going episodes on-demand, essential country albums, extras from Brett’s guests and “Canada’s Country” Playlist. Hear Canada’s Country Radio every other Friday on Apple Music Country.Canada’s Country Radio will air biweekly on Fridays on Apple Music 12pm PT starting this week.
Brett Kissel on Canadian country music:
Canadian country music has never been stronger. It has never been better. Our music has never been more accessible to a worldwide audience than right now! And although it is not very ‘Canadian’ to boast, I will proudly boast and say how exciting it is to see so many Canadian stars crushing it in Nashville.
Brett Kissel on hosting a global show:
It’s incredible to know that Canada’s Country Radio will be bringing the best of Canadian country music to more than 150 countries across the planet – and I truly believe that the talent we’ve got in Canada right now is so deserving of this global audience – I just know that whether people tune in from Toronto, or Nashville, or Prague, or Melbourne or anywhere in-between…they’re going to enjoy it and become fans of some incredible songs and incredible Canadian artists.
Brett Kissel on Canada’s Country Radio:
It’s an incredible honour to be hosting my own show on Apple Music. To be joining a roster that has included a legend like Tim McGraw and current hosts like my friend Ty Bentli just to name a few…it’s kind of surreal – – Big shoes to fill but I’m looking forward to it and can’t wait to bring the best of Canadian country music to fans across the globe…and bring everyone into one heck of a hangout and a great time! Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a storyteller and an entertainer to my core. So interviewing my friends in the business will not be your typical Q&A. It’s gonna be entertaining. I’m talking road stories. Embarrassing moments. Lots of laughs.
