Inspired by timeless classics, Canadian Singer/Songwriter Callie McCullough has followed her unique muse for years. 

 

Her debut album, 2020's After Midnight, made waves on both sides of the America-Canada border, featuring contributions from Grammy-winning bluegrass band Union Station and western-swing supergroup The Time Jumpers; earning critical acclaim in her adopted hometown of Nashville from industry giants like Billboard and American Songwriter while racking up nominations from award shows like the CCMAs and the CMAOs in her native Canada - Introducing McCullough as an artist grounded in traditional influences- now five years later she forges her own traditions with 2025’s Cutting Through The Noise - a bold, bright reimagining of North American roots music as diverse and defiant as the songwriter who made it. 
 

There’s something both fresh and familiar about these nine songs, which find room for contemporary messages and old-school melodies alike. Produced by Dave Brainard (Brandy Clark’s 12 Stories, Sunny Sweeney’s Trophy), Cutting Through The Noise is a rallying cry for individuality and self-expression, showcasing Callie’s roots while chasing down a new sound, too. A record rich with ethereal soundscapes and earthy, organic arrangements. There’s sharp songwriting and top-tier instrumentation. There’s wit, sass, and humor — and a gorgeous blend of Celtic, folk, traditional country, Appalachian bluegrass, and atmospheric Americana, all tied together by a woman whose voice has earned comparisons to Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss. 

​

Fueled by the finest songs of her career, this is Callie McCullough at her best: resilient, timeless, and forward-facing- showcasing a musician who’s spent years on the road, building her audience with each show.  With the album's show-stealing title track, she doubles down on her role as a songwriter, daring to believe that what one says — and sings — still matters, The overarching theme, Callie explains, is hope.
