Artist Spotlight: SayWeCanFly

Starting off the abbreviated week with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head up north to a small Canadian town called Lindsay located in Ontario and come across the amazing sounds of SayWeCanFly. This is mainly a solo project featuring Braden Barrie on vocals and instruments, and I must say in the 5 year history of writing for this site, he has one of the most pure, majestic voices I've heard in my lifetime. The way he exudes confidence and emotion when he sings totally exemplifies the type of person he is inside and out, and the lyrics are deeply personal ranging on a whole series of issues from depression and suicide, issues which are extremely prevalent among today's youth and one's that are exacerbated by societal issues, most namely bullying. The way he communicates with his audience and touches them with the gift of his music shows the kind of effect he has had on people, and you can tell he genuinely loves and appreciates his fans for all the support that they've given him and influenced Braden both personally and professionally. I was deeply blown away by how talented and sincere he was, and I could tell eminently that he was fully committed to playing and recording music as a profession, not just a hobby and totally hit it home for me that raw and unbridled talent is still out there. An immensely talented artist that is the real deal and deserves to be checked out at the end of this sentence that I'm currently speaking right now. Recommended tracks for you to peruse over include "Heaven is Hell" and "Scars".
