Fresh off of 14 nights opening for Shania Twain on Rock This Country Tour from Vancouver to Montreal, Wes Mack is getting ready to turn himself into a household name in Canada.
Born in Calgary and now calling Vancouver home, Mack has been working hard to build his brand and earn fans. And he’s been doing a good job of it.
His first single, Duet (featuring Carly McKillip of One More Girl) peaked at #9 on the Canadian country charts in 2013 and announced his arrival on the scene. The song and video earned Mack 3 Canadian Country Music Award nominations (Rising Star, CMT Video of the Year, Video Director of the Year) and it’s probably not a coincidence that he signed with Universal Music/Big Machine in 2014.
The 2nd single in 2015, The Way You Let Me Down, is currently on the charts, and playing at country radio. The question now becomes… when will we get a full album?
Mack lists acts Keith Urban, Eric Church and Dierks Bentley as influences, with Church’s Chief as one of his favorite albums. And listening to his music so far, that seems clear enough.
Note: It might just be us, but we see a lot of similarities between the gorwing career of Wes Mack and that of another Canadian – singer/actress MacKenzie Porter.

We can’t wait to see Wes Mack on the Boots & Hearts main stage on Sunday afternoon. With some great momentum building through the tour, the singles, and great engagement on social media, all signs point to an entertaining set.
