We sat down with Kyle McKearney to talk about his journey through the alternative country music scene, from growing up in Northern British Columbia to making waves in Nashville and beyond. Kyle shared how his early musical influences, including his family band, shaped his sound and led him to where he is today.

He opened up about his evolution as an artist—moving from rock to Americana and country—and why creating music for personal joy has become his focus. Kyle also reflected on Calgary’s supportive music community and the special bond he shares with his wife, Sarah, who is a key collaborator in his career.

We got into his recent career milestones, including his music being featured on Heartland and winning Alternative Country Album of the Year at the CCMAs. He also talked about the highs and lows of songwriting, the creative process, and the balancing act between family life and touring.

Oh, and did you know Kyle has a passion for construction and renovation? Turns out, music isn’t the only thing he builds.
