Coast 2 Coast Closeup – Brandi Vezina

Brandi Vezina is a singer/songwriter whose authentic country roots are intertwined with rock and the blues. She is a natural born performer who comes from a musical Metis family. Her biggest inspirations include Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin and Miranda Lambert.

Alberta Rose is about a young woman coming home pregnant. “It was cathartic to write about my mother’s experiences as a single parent”, says Vezina. We all cried during the co-write and I know other women will be able to relate to this story.  Vezina teamed up with Albertans Liz Christensen and Sarah Elliot to write “Alberta Rose”. The producers’ duties were handled by Murray Pulver.
