Kelsi Mayne should be no stranger to our readers, we featured Kelsi several years ago as she was vying for the Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist of the year. Many of you may recognize her as the ‘Cherry Bomb’ in the River Town Saints hit video for the single of the same name and Eric Ethridge fans may recognize Kelsi from his cover of Luke Bryan and Karen Fairchild’s “Home Alone Tonight”.

2017 Country Music Year in Review
It seems like just yesterday we were counting down from 2016 to 2017, it’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun. 2017 also known as Canada 150 came with its share of highlights from the JUNOs to the Grey Cup and plenty of amazing milestones in between. Here’s a look back at the year that was and the year, we predict, lies ahead in 2018.
Introducing Kelsi Mayne
Proud Windsor, ON native, Kelsi Mayne is a Canadian Country Music singer-songwriter, 2016 FACTOR grant recipient, and Top 7 Finalist in the upcoming Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase. With an award-winning journalist as father and an acclaimed sculptor/muralist as a mother, Kelsi was constantly surrounded and influenced by a world of art. She developed her performing skills early on, competing on the Canada-U.S. Highland Dancing circuit. Soon she made moves to become a vocalist and began to achieve success in several talent competitions – once winning the opportunity to open for the Neverending White Lights when she was just 16 years old.

Eric Ethridge & Kelsi Mayne cover “Home Alone Tonight”
Well as some of you know I am a bit of a fan of this Eric Ethridge, and I really think that 2016 may bring some huge things for him and I truly believe Eric is on the cusp of breaking through. He and I were chatting this morning and he sent me this AMAZING cover of Luke Bryan & Karen Fairchilds Home Alone Tonight. He teamed up with the VERY talented Kelsi Mayne on this one. Watch out Canada these two have some major talent. Don’t be shy.. Let us know what you think!
