Bio

Years of playing shows, big ups that never last and big downs that seem to. The Prairie Dogz’ experience come through in their writing. Stories of crazy nights and relationships good and bad set against music with country roots and a rock and blues edge The Prairie Dogz songs range from ballads that deal with some of life’s most challenging issues, to party songs meant to pack the dance floor at a big saloon. Their music is written to be played live but is perfect for a long stretch of highway or the soundtrack for a well-deserved weekend out of town. The Prairie Dogs are perfect blend of Country, Rock and Blues with lyrics that resonate with everyone.

Cali’s background is steeped in country music royalty. Her mother is the 70s hitmaker LaCosta Tucker and her aunt is the legendary Tanya Tucker. Cali’s remarkable journey, from winning the prestigious Miss Teen All American title at just fifteen to gracing the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and headlining top Las Vegas venues, has built a solid foundation for her current success. Her appearance as a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice,” under the mentorship of Blake Shelton, propelled her into the national spotlight. The release of “Country Couture” is the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and unwavering pursuit of her musical dreams.​

Canadian country artist Jason Kirkness is excited to announce the release of his deeply personal new track, “What Got Me Here”, out now across all streaming platforms and Australian country radio. The single marks another milestone in Kirkness’ fast-growing career, resonating with fans through its raw honesty and emotional depth.

Drawing inspiration from the highs and lows of his life, “What Got Me Here” serves as a tribute to the people and experiences that have shaped his journey. In Kirkness’ own words, “I wanted to put something in the world that was an honest reflection of the struggle and the highs and lows of my life, while paying a real homage to the people that got me here. It’s deeply personal to me, but at the same time very universal. This is what got me here.”

The track is already making waves in the industry, charting on the prestigious Top 100 Music Row Chart, and securing spots on several influential Spotify playlists, including North Country. Fans will also recognize Kirkness’ signature sound from his music videos currently airing on CMT Australia, as well as his successful 2024 promotional tour in Australia, along with solid radio play across the country.

A celebrated artist, Kirkness was named Male Artist of the Year by the Manitoba Country Music Association (MCMA) in 2023, and his album has now surpassed 1,000,000 global streams.

While currently planning a 12 city Canadian Tour in March 2025, Jason plans to return to Australia for future touring and promotion. His music continues to build momentum as it reaches listeners across the world, with growing anticipation for each new release.

Jason Kirkness’ new single ‘What Got Me Here’ is out at Australian radio on 3rd February.

The underlying theme of things taking time to materialize is one that is relative to today, yesterday and tomorrow, which will become an anthem for so many across many different backgrounds.

Have a listen or listen again and see how much truth is in the words because, like Aarons musical journey – Home Wasn’t Built In A Day either!

Following a massive year in 2023, achieving the highest charting Australian country album of the year with ‘Any Less Anymore’, Travis Collins is set to charge into 2025 with the release of his 10th full length release, ‘The Band Album’ . This release will coincide with his performance at Australia’s largest country music festival, CMC Rocks; and separate headline album launch show dates in March 2025.

As Travis discusses, “When I started thinking about recording this new album, I was searching for a fresh and different approach to anything I’d done before. It seemed ironic and crazy to me that I’d never actually recorded or ‘created’ music with the people who’ve played the most music with me, for most of my career – my touring band. That realisation floored me, curiosity immediately turned to creative excitement. ‘The Band Album’ was born.

In many ways, it felt like I was recording my first album. There was an entirely new energy, creativity, and enthusiasm that really shines through on this album. I hold the songs, the memories of creating them, and the entire experience very close to my heart. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

To celebrate the announce, Travis releases the third single from the new studio album, ‘Good Thing Comin’. This single is the follow up to the previously released tracks, ‘Different Dreams’ and ‘Don’t Get Me Started’. Recorded with Jared Adlam in his Queensland studio, Travis describes the track, “Holding on for a ‘good thing coming’ is something that gets most of us through life. That sense or feel that something great is around the next bend or over the next hill. Sometimes, that hope itself is more important than the actual thing you’re hoping for.”

Launching his career in 2004 as a Toyota Starmaker winner, Travis Collins has had an incredible journey in country music. With nine albums released to date, he hit new highs with his 2023 album, ‘Any Less Anymore’. That release became the highest charting Australian country album of 2023, debuting at #3 on the ARIA All-Genre Album chart and #1 on the ARIA Country Album chart.

With his soulful voice and earthy sound, Travis Collins is considered one of Australia’s finest country music artists. He has a unique gift of piloting both heartfelt ballads and supercharged country-rock floor-fillers. The nine-time Golden Guitar Award winner (including 3 x Male Artist of the Year), four-time CMC Award winner and CMA Global Artist Award winner, he’s toured alongside US megastars Tim McGraw and Luke Combs and his catalogue has amassed over forty million streams.

“After more than a decade of releasing music, the world becomes introduced to a few different versions of an artist,” shared Moskaluke. “I’ve spent the last year writing, trying new things, working with new people, and exploring every angle of who I am today. “Life For Me” feels like a fun and fresh new chapter. Making music that feels good to me has always been what the fans seem to enjoy and connect with the most, so I hope that authenticity shines through in this song, and everyone sees a little bit of themselves in it – in one way or another.”

An accomplished songwriter, Moskaluke’s artistry continues to evolve with “Life For Me,” a dynamic anthem that showcases her ability to balance originality with universal appeal that resonates deeply with listeners.
