Multi-BCCMA winning artist Simon Clow unleashes his hard-hitting, unfiltered new EP, Gravel and Smoke, out today via 604 Records (LISTEN HERE). A lifelong storyteller, Clow co-wrote every track, collaborating with the likes of Chad Kroeger and Jeff Johnson. Fresh off opening for Steven Lee Olsen and JoJo Mason on select nights of their “Country Night in Canada” tour, Clow is gearing up for a performance at this Saturday’s JUNO Block Party.
“I’m beyond excited and incredibly grateful to share this collection of songs that truly reflect who I am and the challenges I’ve faced along my journey,” says Clow. “I hope everyone enjoys what I’ve created with the help of an incredible team of talented writers, musicians, producers, mixers and mastering engineers. This has been an amazing collaborative effort, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!”
The EP features fan-favourite country bangers “Bad Penny” and “Once Upon A Bar,” plus the title track, an electrifying duet with rising powerhouse Teigen Gayse. A standout new release, “Save This Country Soul,” pays tribute to Clow’s roots and the journey that shaped him.
“Growing up in a small town in Alberta, chasing a dream in music came with its struggles, but it also built the resilience and passion that define this song,” he says. “It’s rooted in raw storytelling and authenticity; honest, real and deeply connected to where I come from.”
ABOUT SIMON CLOW:
Since setting out on a journey to reconnect with his roots, Simon Clow (604 Records) has continued to carve his own path in Canadian country music — all while staying true to himself along the way. Known as the guitarist and backing vocalist of JUNO nominated/multi-platinum rock band State of Shock, Simon has always carried with him an appreciation for all genres of music — and the move to country has been a rewarding transition. After over a decade in the music business, Simon took his career in a whole new direction and stepped into the spotlight a few years ago. Since then, the singer/songwriter has released a debut record, multiple singles and won two BCCMA Awards – and has now releases his highly-anticipated EP Gravel and Smoke. “I’ve poured my heart and soul into it, and I hope everybody connects and enjoys the collection.”
