It’s hard to believe that it’s really only been 5 years since I first put pen to paper (so to speak) to write the first ever post for Sound Check Entertainment. Back then it was called the Hoedown Blogger and the platform was under the banner of the Ottawa Citizen but had it not been for that day none of what followed would be possible.
Chad Brownlee – Mason Jar Session – I Hate You For It
Chad Brownlee has a new single that hit radio a couple weeks back now. Chad sat down and hammered it out for our Mason Jar Sessions and now it is time to share this killer version of one of my favourites off the album. Be sure to grab Chad’s latests album Hearts On Fire HERE.
Washboard Union – Mason Jar Session – Shot of Glory
If you haven’t heard about these boys yet your head must be in the sand. Washboard Union a trio out of Vancouver, BC were in Toronto a couple weeks back and we thought it would be great to get them to do a Mason Jar Session. So we managed to track them down thanks to Mr. Caven and the fellas cranked out a couple songs for us.
Runaway Angel – Mason Jar Session – June
We had a chance to have the lovely and talented Runaway Angel perform their current single JUNE for our Mason Jar Sessions a couple weeks back. The ladies currently released their debut album No End In Sight and we were lucky enough to have the girls perform.
Terri Clark – Mason Jar Session – Northern Girl
We had a chance to sit down and chat with Terri Clark last week and just before our chat Terri cranked out a couple songs for a Mason Jar Session. We thought we would share this one first. Northern Girl is such a great song and to hear it sung stripped down and acoustic was just amazing. And to think that Terri is going to be doing a whole cross Canada tour with just her and her guitars (and maybe a loop pedal) but heck this is one hell of a performance by one of Canada’s BIGGEST names in Country! Enjoy
Scotty James – Still – Mason Jar Session
A couple weeks back we had the opportunity to have Waterloo native and emerging country artist Scotty James join us for a Mason Jar Session. His first cut from that session is his soon to be released Still. Love to hear what you think.
Aaron Goodvin – Knock On Wood – Mason Jar Session
We had a chance to have Warner Music Canada Recording Artist Aaron Goodvin perform his current single Knock on Wood for our Mason Jar Sessions last week. And boy can he sing. If you have a chance be sure to catch Aaron on the rest of the Johnny Reid “What Loves Is All About” Tour. And if you love this be sure to head over to iTunes and pre-order his Album that hits the street April 8th, 2016. Pre-order it here.

Chad Brownlee – Mason Jar Session – Hearts On Fire
Last week we had a chance to sit down and chat with one of Canada’s top male country artists, Chad Brownlee. Stay tuned for that interview in the coming weeks. But, we also had a chance to have Chad do a couple songs for our Mason Jar Sessions an Exclusive for Sound Check. Here is Chad’s performance of his current Top 10 single Hearts On Fire. And don’t forget to request this at your local radio station! If they aren’t playing this one you need a new station! We also want to thank Boots and Bourbon for hosting this one, greatly appreciated.
Brian Davis – Here Lately – Mason Jar Session
We had a chance to have singer / songwriter Brian Davis perform a couple cuts for the Mason Jar Sessions while he was up in Canada on the Blackout Tour with long time writing partner Brantley Gilbert. Here is the first cut from his recently released Stripped Down & Turned Up album, which by the way if you don’t own already you really should it’s fantastic. Crank this one up!
Chatting with Michael Ray….
A couple months back Michael Ray had a stop in London, Ontario where he had a chance to hammer out a couple great Mason Jar Sessions for Kiss You In The Morning & Real Men Love Jesus thanks to the folks over at Warner Music Canada. Corey also had a chance to ask Michael a few questions that night. Well as we prepare to welcome Mr. Ray and the rest of Brantley Gilbert’s #BlackoutTour back to Canada we thought this was just the right time to post the chat with Michael. So here it is… Enjoy.
