eOne Signs Multi Award Winning Country Artist Jason Blaine
Toronto, ON – Today, Entertainment One Ltd (eOne), is excited to announce the direct signing of multi-award-winning country singer Jason Blaine. Blaine has won Canadian Country Music Association award for Single of the Year (2012’s “They Don’t Make ‘Em Like That Anymore”), has earned three SOCAN Awards and written hits for Madeline Merlo, Chris Jansen and others. His current single ‘Drink Too Much’ is out now and his new EP is slated for release in the coming months.
“We are beyond thrilled to welcome Jason back to into the eOne Music family,” said Chris Moncada, Senior Vice President, eOne Music/ GM Last Gang Records. “He is a beloved artist in the country music world, and we look forward to continuing our efforts in getting Jason’s music out to his many fans.”
“I am so excited to be back home with the team at eOne Music Canada. I have been with eOne for the majority of my career and am so excited about the team they have built”, said Jason Blaine. “I really feel my music is in great hands with this energetic group of people and can’t wait to see what the future holds”.
Originally from Pembroke, Ontario, Blaine moved to Nashville in the fall of 2006. Since then, he burst onto the scene in 2007 with his first #1 single, “Rock In My Boot,” the first of 11 further Top 10 smashes, paving the way for tours with Tebey, Chad Brownlee, Deric Ruttan, and appearances at major festivals across North America. To date, Blaine’s music has racked up over 10 million combined digital streams and 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Blaine’s success has also allowed him to give back to his community in Pembroke through the annual Jason Blaine Celebrity Charity Golf Classic, which over the years has attracted fellow artists such as Dallas Smith, Tim Hicks, Chad Brownlee, Aaron Pritchett and Gord Bamford, as well as hockey legends Doug Gilmour and Bryan Murray. It’s helped raise over $500,000 for various charities in the Ottawa Valley, and the 7th edition is set for June 17, 2020 at the Pembroke Golf Club. More information is available here.
