This week we had a chance to catch up with Canadian country music newcomer, Brett Kissel.

Brett’s single,”Hockey Please Come Back” is exploding across North America, and we chatted about his inspiration for writing the song, and how fans have really embraced it.

Brett also shares his plans for a 2013 album release and cross-Canada tour.
