Born and raised in small-town northern BC (Canada), Kyle grew up surrounded by family and their love of Country & Bluegrass music. After high school, Kyle had the opportunity to move to Nashville, TN, where he spent his days submersed in learning how classic Country and Rockabilly songs were crafted. He eventually made his way back to Canada and settled in Calgary, AB, where he and his brother Shade started a band together. It was then that Kyle really dug in, and started perfecting his skills in: singing, songwriting, all aspects of recording, touring and performing, which have led to being a full time career.
Over the years, Kyle’s been a part of a few successful projects that found him: co-writing a song with Roger Taylor (of the legendary band QUEEN), on a national tour with Nick Carter (the Backstreet Boy), along with garnering three Top 20 CHR/Top 40 hit songs on Canadian commercial radio, a top 30 at Pop/Hot AC radio, a Top 30 on Active Rock radio, and a Canadian Radio Music Award nomination in 2017 (an incredible feat for an independent artist).
He spent 6 months of 2019 on the road, playing guitar and touring across North America with Queen’s production of the We Will Rock You musical; his 15th year of experience in touring.
On “Each And Every Day,” the indigenous singer-songwriter spins a beautiful story of working hard and hoping for leisure where you can grab it.
“’Each and Every Day’ is a song about waking up to your situation to find that you don’t like it very much and deciding to make a change,” McKearney writes. “I was feeling this way after 6 months on a bus without my wife and son, realizing that this was just a blip in 15 years of touring. The song is about breaking away from how we’re expected to make a living, big house and multiple vehicles etc and getting back to maybe earning less but being together.”
