Jacklyn Wills

You know how the story goes. It always seems to be a small town girl or boy who knew that music was their calling from a young age. We won’t bore you with the details, but it’s a similar narrative for Dresden, Ontario’s, Jacklyn Wills.

 

From performing at local festivals, events and establishments, to sharing songs and stories at the world-famous BlueBird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, and even warming up the stage for acts such as Sloan, The Reklaws, Owen Riegling and Corb Lund, (just to name a few), Wills already has a long list of accomplishments under her belt and has now taken the next step in her musical journey.

 

Titling 2024 the year to “do the thing”, Wills hit the ground running by releasing her debut single, “Hate That I Can’t Hate You”. Penned over Zoom in February 2023 with co-writer Ali Dutton, about meeting the perfect guy after dating a few too many frogs, produced by Adam Newcomb, and released into the world a year later, the catchy country bop found its way onto multiple Spotify editorial playlists, radio stations around the world and even onto SiriusXM!

 

But “Hate That I Can’t Hate You” was only the beginning. She followed with the release of “Up”. A song written in Nashville with fellow Canadian Drew Taylor and Georgia natives, Tanner Fussell and Lee Tucker, that transports you back to the days of being 16 in a small town with nothing better to do than drive around and get into trouble! “Up” continues to climb the Canadian Indie Country Countdown Chart and can be heard daily on SiriusXM, on top of a number of radio stations around the world.

​

As we prepare to head into 2025, she doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Buckle up and prepare yourself for lots more live shows and a whole lot more music from this rising star.
