Fresh off hosting duties at the 15th annual Alberta Country Music Awards, platinum-selling and 20-time CCMA-nominated artist Dan Davidson releases his new single “Making Memories” today via Skysong Records / The Orchard.
Written by Nashville heavyweights Andrew Jannakos, Karen Kosowski, Emma-Lee,and Alex Pennington Smith, and produced by CCMA Award-winning producer Jeff Dalziel, “Making Memories” is driven by warm acoustic guitars, bright electric textures, and a modern pop-country groove. It pairs breezy melodies with an infectious, sing-along chorus that feels perfectly suited for spring days and summer road trips.
The track is a feel-good, driving-with-the-windows-down anthem that captures the simple but powerful reminder to live in the moment. With an uplifting message at its core, the song encourages listeners to put down the phone, say yes to the adventure, and experience life with the people they love.
It’s so easy to get caught up in those “to-do” lists…the emails…the mundane duties of life…we all have them. I think this song is a great reminder of the old saying, “If not now, then when?” None of us are getting any younger,” said Davidson. “I hope that this song inspires people to do something they are always going to remember. For me personally, I see time flying by, in part because my kids are growing up so fast. Sometimes I need the reminder that we need to make sure we take advantage of the time we have with the ones we love.”
This single marks the third release from Davidson’s forthcoming EP. It continues to showcase his signature blend of contemporary country storytelling and polished pop sensibility, delivering a soundtrack for living fully in the moment.
Dan’s appeal extends far beyond national borders. He has performed over 200 shows across eight countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, and has built a global audience with over 35 million streams and 6 million YouTube views. His career highlights include a certified platinum single with “Found,” multiple Top 20 charting hits in Canada and the U.S., as well as international chart success, including Top 10 and #1 placements in Australia. This week, Dan announced he is heading back “down under” to perform at Savannah In The Round music festival in Queensland, Australia.
Davidson is also co-owner of Skysong Records, a boutique label built by artists for artists, alongside JUNO Award-winning country-rockers Jason McCoy and Clayton Bellamy of The Road Hammers, as well as Calgary-based music executive and philanthropist Craig Senyk. His work has earned him 20 CCMA nominations, 10 ACMA Awards, and 4 EMA Awards, and his music has been featured across major platforms, including HBO, CTV, and more.
