Nominated for the 2024 ECMA’s Rock Recording of the Year for debut album Joy State of Mind, singer-songwriter Elyse Aeryn is known for her fiery and rebellious rock and roll. Her bluesy melodies paired with her bold, warm voice make for an authentic and ageless sound. 

The winner of Music Nova Scotia’s 2023 Country Recording of the Year and The Coast’s Best of Halifax Readers’ Choice Award for Best New Artist has a fierce new single, “Cowboy.”

“I was imagining what it would be like to live so boldly,” Elyse offers. “As the chorus started flowing, it hit me that I am stepping into that energy. I don’t want or need anyone to save me. I am the cowboy.”

Hard knocks, dead ends, new beginnings – Elyse writes with heart about the stuff of life. You can practically taste the inner strength and resilience in her rich voice, soulful lyrics, and charismatic guitar riffs.
