Brad Simmonds wants to bring old time country music of Nashville to Newfoundland, Canada. Brad is a sold out recording artist and he says there’s nothing like the feeling he got leaving a Tim Horton’s and hearing someone playing his music in their car. Brad grew up in Charlottetown Newfoundland (Terra Nova Park), where most of his family was musical. He’s played since he was 5 years old, when a group of his friends gave him his first guitar and he taught himself to play. In his late teens and early 20s, Brad made his rounds playing the bar scene, but he abandoned his dreams of fame to support his young family, going into construction. Music was put ‘on hold’ until recently. In 2018, Brad was several years into a new domestic life with his second wife, Mel,( whom he met online) when he offered Facebook live streaming of his singing. His followers choose songs for his debut picker CD, ‘Old Habits’, which sold out within 10 days of its release in May 2019. Brad’s a gifted musician who can play almost any tune he hears, singing beautifully in his unique bass vocal range. However, since returning to his passion for music, Brad and Mel have become an overnight singer/songwriter duet with an ever-growing popularity. He says he’s determined to keep learning new technology because it’s helped him to develop his profile on social media. In fact, Covid helped Brad to regain his focus on music. Brad is busy assisting his wife in developing her businesses Keto Newf and The Shed~PoweHouse Inc. , but the couple's biggest passion outside of family is developing their music. As the title of a song his wife wrote on a visit to Nashville a few years back says, Brad can definitely sing out ‘It's My Time!'
