Saskatoon country artist Jarrid Lee is back this month with a brand new, heartfelt single hitting industry and fans October 10/23. Jarrid tells us, "The story behind the current single I Don't Back Down is based on my life with hockey growing up and falling in love with my wife, being an underdog and small guy I don't back down. The whole album project is a collaboration between other songwriters and myself based on mutual ideas, similar writing styles and I need to expand my network by working with artists far greater than myself."

Press for the single explains you can "Immerse yourself in the soul-stirring world of Jarrid Lee, a rising country-rock sensation hailed for his unique blend of authentic narratives and compelling melodies. The Plains Cree musician, based in Saskatoon, is a multiple SCMA  and SaskMusic award nominee, cementing his place as a genuine voice in the country music scene. Fans of Don Amero, Brett Kissel, and Chris Stapleton will find a kindred spirit in Jarrid’s artistry. Known for chart-topping singles like “That’s How You Country,” his music serves as a vibrant tapestry that weaves the cultural richness of Indigenous storytelling with universal themes of love, resilience, and community."

More about Jarrid:

If you find yourself captivated by the compelling narratives and soulful performances of artists like Don Amero, Brett Kissel, and Jason Benoit, then it’s time you let Jarrid Lee’s music grace your ears. Imagine the heartland storytelling of Prairie States meeting the emotive vocal depth of Chris Stapleton, or the relatable themes of Duane Steele juxtaposed with the infectious energy of Luke Bryan. That’s the evocative soundscape Jarrid crafts in his authentic country-rock anthems.

Proudly Plains Cree, Jarrid’s music is an evocative blend of country rock, rooted in both his Indigenous heritage and his unwavering love for hockey, his country, and his community. He crafts authentic anthems that resonate with resilience and a fierce will of intent, infusing every note with grit and earnest emotion.

With a growing catalog that’s garnered him SCMA and SaskMusic nominations, not to mention chart-topping singles like “Up on Stage” and “That’s How You Country,” Jarrid Lee’s music is as real as it gets. Yet, his true essence lies in his humility. While his songs often blaze through the country rock airwaves, reaching as far as Australia and Ireland, he is a musician who would never claim the spotlight for himself. His work in advocacy speaks volumes, often serving as a rallying cry for social change, notably in the sphere of Indigenous rights.

Jarrid Lee is more than just a musician; he’s a voice for change - a soft-spoken luminary who would tell you he’s just doing what he loves. But make no mistake, his music has the power to touch souls and inspire a new wave of thinkers and changemakers. Listen, and you’ll understand why.
