During the start of the pandemic, Josh Ramsay needed something to do while in isolation. He indulged himself by writing songs in as many different genres as possible. Josh explains, “my goal was to try and do as many genres as possible, so it feels kind of like a variety show. I see it as my ‘calling card’ – not just as a songwriter, but as a producer and arranger.”

Josh Norrad’s cover of Boondocks is the country single you need to hear!
Most of you know that I’ve been working with Josh for a couple of years now, since just before the release of “To The Wind” way back in the spring of 2020. Since then the pressure has been on to find, not just the next single but, the next single worthy of releasing. Over the past two years there have been a few that really stuck with us but with the pandemic and Josh’s work / travel schedule in western Canada it was almost impossible for him to get into the studio with his producer, Jason Barry. In the end it was thanks to his work / travel schedule that an opportunity came up for Josh to connect with Ches Anthony on his way home last fall…Boondocks is the musical love child of that meeting.

Jessica Lavallee showcases her East Coast roots in Small Town Girl
“I stared this song one time after leaving home one late summer from a visit with my family. I was so sad to leave and always felt home sick till the next year. With the help of my dad and, good friend, Carmen M. Bennett, we finished the song and could not be prouder of it! I am a proud Coaster and love where I come from. To speak about that in a song seems only natural and pure. I’m still that small town girl, proud of my small town world!!!!”
