Saskatchewan Country Closeup – Shantaia

Beginning at a young age, Shantaia has had the privilege to have toured the festival circuit, opening for countless Country Artists from The Bellamy Brothers, Charlie Major & Kane Brown to Ryan Hurd & Emerson Drive, and most recently, Chris Lane and Cold Creek County and played major festivals such as Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Dauphin’s Country Fest, North by North East and Country Thunder Saskatchewan.

Shantaia was named Emerging Artist of the year in 2019 at the SCMA awards, and excitedly ended her 2019 touring season with her first ever full band show in Nashville, TN for the major music festival and conference, AmericanaFest. Starting 2020 on a high note, Shantaia released her new single “I Wish You Would” on January 3rd, which curated over 100,000 streams on Spotify in just over 3 weeks. Her highly anticipated EP “Chapter One” (produced by Doug Oliver, engineered by Trevor Macleod, and mixed by Scott Cooke and Jordan Oorebeek) was released on April 3rd 2020.

Shantaia is our guest on the Saskatchewan Country Closeup. We talk new music, merchandise, live shows and what’s on the way.
