Nelson’s rising country music star

Nelson country music artist Brooklyn Rae has been named 1 of 4 finalists in the Country Rising contest presented by Cottage Springs Beverage Co, a nationwide search looking for Canada’s next big country star.

The Kootenay local has dreamed of pursuing a career in music her whole life after stepping on stage for the first time at just 6 years old. Driven by this passion, Brooklyn eventually left her small-town roots to pursue music full time.

Blending heartfelt lyrics with infectious melodies, Brooklyn explores universal themes of love, heartbreak and self-discovery, creating relatable songs that deeply resonate with her audience.

Brooklyn will take the stage in Windsor on May 10th as a part of the Country Rising showcase at Hockeyfest, performing alongside celebrated songwriter Griffen Palmer and award-winning artist Nate Haller.

“Country Rising is about championing the next wave of Canadian country talent,” says Laura Butler Synnott, Senior Brand Manager of Cottage Springs.

“We’re proud to be giving these finalists a platform to shine, connect with industry experts, and compete for a truly life-changing opportunity.”

The final winner of Country Rising presented by Cottage Springs will go on to receive a record deal with Starseed Records and be enrolled in an extensive development program involving artist development sessions, songwriting workshops, media training and a professionally produced recording session. They’ll also receive a $10,000 cash prize plus the opening performance slot at The Reklaws 2025 Kee to Bala dates on August 1 and 2, 2025.
