In just a few short years, Andrew Hyatt has amassed tens of millions of streams and video views, Top 10s on major market stations, won the 2022 Canadian Country Music Association Award for Rising Star, was nominated for Album of the Year and received nominations from the Country Music Association of Ontario, and won the prestigious “Top of the Country” title from Sirius XM. Hyatt has also had the honour of performing in high-profile slots on prominent festival stages and tours alongside stars like Dallas Smith, Dean Brody, and Tim Hicks (to name a few). 

All are impressive feats for an artist whose pedigree goes far beyond country music and its ilk. “I’m kind of a musical mutt when it comes to my influences,” Hyatt jokes, walking through his journey from Christian rock in his younger years to alt-rock and punk in his teens. Country icons like George Strait and Alan Jackson came next, followed by more recent chart-toppers like Eric Church and Sturgill Simpson. And while not always tangibly, those tinges of other genres and styles are seamlessly woven throughout his latest work. 

His latest EP, L is For, is easily Hyatt’s most personal record to date. “The last twelve months, I’ve been through hell and I used writing as a tool for healing. Every song on this record details a separate stage of coming to terms with a separation and that betrayal.” Hyatt looks forward to sharing his story at some exciting upcoming shows in the new year, giving fans the opportunity to hear the more personal side of Hyatt.
