Regina, SK’s, Alex Runions continues to shine a positive light on the Canadian country music scene. His new single, “Passenger Seat” from his sophomore CD, SOUTH OF THE CITY, will release to radio on April 28th.
A constant in the Saskatchewan Country Music Association, and highly regarded by SaskMusic, Runions is currently nominated for three 2015 SCMAs in the categories of Male Vocalist of the Year, and Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year. His latest single, “Little Bit of Sunshine” is also nominated for Single of the Year. In 2014, Runions was a two-time SCMA Nominee in the categories of Male Vocalist of the Year and Rising Star.
His passionate dedication to song writing and co-writing has contributed to becoming a highly sought after musician. "Passenger Seat” written by Runions and award winning songwriter, Joni Delaurier, is tracked at radio by Lauren Tutty of Lauren Tutty Promotions. It is a heartfelt song about the loss of someone in your life – be it a relationship, a family member or someone close to you. “Everyone needs a song to get them through a tough time,” said Runions. “Passenger Seat is about that. It’s about remembering the good times with that person, driving down the highway, being ‘wild and free’ and then back to reality of the heartbreak of a loss of that friend, partner or loved one. However, as the listener interprets Passenger Seat, they will be able to feel the emotion that was put into the writing and performance of this song.”

He’s opened for many prominent country artists including Gord Bamford, Aaron Pritchett and Rodney Atkins while also closing out performances from Dallas Smith, The Road Hammers and Neal McCoy.
