Rising Canadian country artist Sully Burrows is carrying strong momentum into 2026, following a breakout year that included new music, major tour opportunities and a growing national profile.
The Parry Sound, Ont., singer-songwriter recently spoke with SWOMP about life on the road, his debut EP and what fans can expect next as his career continues to build.
Burrows said the start of 2026 has already been eventful, highlighted by his recent run of dates supporting Jade Eagleson on the “Coming Soon to a Honkytonk Near You Tour.”
The cross-border tour saw Burrows perform in cities across Canada and the United States.
Among the more memorable moments on the tour were on-stage collaborations with Eagleson, including a lighthearted performance that saw Burrows sharing the stage in a life jacket while holding a fishing pole.
The tour followed a busy stretch for Burrows, who on Oct. 10, 2025 released his debut EP, Somewhere in a Small Town. The project, which arrived just days before his 19th birthday, features a collection of songs that highlight his small-town roots and personal experiences.
Since signing with Partners Record Label in 2024, Burrows has steadily released music including “Youth,” “Think of Me” and his debut radio single “Rally Around,” which reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Canada Country chart.
Looking ahead, Burrows is set to perform at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival in July, one of Atlantic Canada’s largest outdoor country music events. The 2026 lineup includes headliners HARDY, Tucker Wetmore and Cody Johnson.
Burrows is scheduled to perform on the Friday bill alongside artists including Margo Price and Matt Lang.
Reflecting on his path into music, Burrows said he first got his start through piano lessons as a child before eventually finding his voice as a singer and gravitating toward country music. Influenced by artists such as Riley Green, Zach Bryan and Conner Smith, he said he was drawn to honest songwriting and storytelling.
With his debut EP still fresh, Burrows confirmed he is continuing to work on new material, with fans able to expect more music in 2026 as he builds on the foundation of the past year.
He is also set to join High Valley as an opening act on the Paradise & Hurricanes tour, which begins in Chatham, Ont., on March 4.
