Stephen Adrian Lawrance Brings the ‘Canadian Twang’ Back to Country Music
Canadian singer-songwriter Stephen Adrian Lawrance has stirred up the country music scene with his latest release, Canadian Twang. This lively, toe-tapping single isn’t just a catchy tune—it’s a rallying cry for Canadian artists to embrace their roots and celebrate the distinct flavour of their musical heritage. With its humorous lyrics, playful energy, and clever critique of Canadian artists mimicking Southern American accents, Canadian Twang is quickly striking a chord with fans from coast to coast.
The single’s cover art, featuring a 500ml can of sugarbush syrup, is a nod to its unabashedly Canadian vibe. Lawrance’s lyrics call out the tendency of some artists to adopt a Nashville twang in pursuit of popularity, instead encouraging authenticity and pride in a uniquely Canadian sound. The release couldn’t come at a better time, as Canadian country music experiences a renaissance both at home and abroad.
A Proud Salute to Canadian Roots
In Canadian Twang, Lawrance blends humour with heartfelt authenticity, shining a light on the rich legacy of Canadian country music. From trailblazers like Hank Snow and Anne Murray to modern icons like Shania Twain and George Fox, the song celebrates the voices that have defined the genre north of the border.
“This song is a reminder that we don’t need to imitate anyone else to succeed,” says Lawrance. “Our stories, our voices, and our heritage are what make us special. Canadian country music has its own unique flavour, and it’s something to be proud of.”
Lawrance’s tongue-in-cheek lyrics and lively melody strike a balance between entertaining listeners and sparking a sense of national pride. The single is as much a playful critique as it is a love letter to Canada’s music scene, with its warm, syrupy tones of humour resonating as a call for authenticity.
A Renaissance in Canadian Country
Canadian country music is booming, with an increasing number of artists gaining recognition both domestically and internationally. As the genre evolves, competition is fierce, and originality is key. Canadian Twang is Lawrance’s contribution to this exciting era, offering both fans and fellow artists a reason to reflect on what sets them apart in the crowded music landscape.
Lawrance is a veteran of the Canadian country music scene and is no stranger to the spotlight. Named “One to Watch” by the Nashville Songwriters Association International in 2018, he has built a reputation for authenticity and talent. His latest single solidifies his place as a leading voice in a movement to redefine Canadian country music on its own terms.
Roar Records Amplifies the Message
Behind the release is Toronto-based indie label Roar Records, founded by Canadian music advocate Veronica Low. Roar is using social media, radio networks, and industry connections to amplify the buzz around Canadian Twang.
“The current climate of Canadian pride makes this release even more relevant,” says Low. “Stephen’s message is one of authenticity and celebration, and it’s something we’re thrilled to represent at Roar Records. Canadian Twang has the potential to make a real impact, not just in the music industry but in the hearts of Canadians everywhere.”

Canadian Twang is more than just a song—it’s a fun rallying cry for Canadians to embrace their identity and for artists to stay true to their roots. Its energetic banter and upbeat tune deliver a message with both humour and heart.
Now available on Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple, Amazon, and more, Canadian Twang is ready to make its mark. Stephen Adrian Lawrance invites listeners to tap their toes, laugh a little, and take pride in the rich tapestry of Canadian country music.
