Country Artist Dylan Burk Recently Released His Single, “Ashes”

Country artist Dylan Burk recently released his new single “Ashes” on May 26th via Jayward Artist Group and all streaming platforms.

“Ashes” is a fiery, catchy tune that showcases Dylan’s deep and textured vocals that bridge the gap between country and rock. New to the Canadian country scene, Dylan’s previously released singles have already caught the attention of country music fans, adding to his over 3.2 million career streams to date.

Originally from Knoxville, TN, Dylan moved to Milton, ON with his Canadian father, who had retired from playing professional hockey, and his American mother. Although he also had a love for hockey, music was always central in Dylan’s life. Eventually, he decided to pursue music professionally and began to write, record and release songs independently, which aided in gaining a following that allowed him to collaborate with the hit-making producer Patrick Jason Matthews (Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Billy Currington).

Dylan’s commanding presence and compelling sound have led him to open for talents like Jade Eagleson and share the stage with incredible artists such as Chase Rice, Cadillac Three, and James Barker Band. He has also appeared at events and festivals around Ontario and was invited to participate in the Boots and Hearts Music Festival Chevy Music Emerging Artist showcase in 2019.

In December 2022, Dylan was officially added to the Jayward Artist Group roster and joined award-winning, platinum-selling country artist, writer, and producer Tebey, and producer and writer Danick Dupelle at the writing table and in the studio to record his new single “Ashes”.

Listen to “Ashes” below and learn more about Dylan Burk via our mini-interview.

First off, care to introduce yourself to our readers?

Hi! My name is Dylan Burk and I’m a country artist 🙂. I was born in Knoxville, TN and I moved to Canada at a young age. My dad was a professional hockey player and when he retired, we moved to Milton, ON. I’ve been calling Milton home for over 25 years now.

You have unveiled your single, “Ashes.” Tell us a bit about the writing process behind the release.

I didn’t write “Ashes” but the Canadian power team, Danick Dupelle, Tebey Ottoh (who both also produced “Ashes”), and Jimmy Thow penned this one. I’m lucky to have had a great team behind this solid track and I can’t wait to see how country fans react to it! 

You worked with Tebey and Danick Dupelle on the release. How was that experience?

It was definitely a memorable highlight in my career. I’ve been a big fan of Tebey’s music for over 10 years now so it was an amazing opportunity to work with him. And Danick was a dream producer to work with. I enjoyed every minute of the process we went through to bring this song to life. 

What’s your favourite thing about being a musician in Milton, Ontario?

Probably running into people I knew from when I was growing up. Milton is not necessarily a small town anymore, but I still run into a lot of people from high school. It’s cool to hear them talk about how they have been listening to my music for years now and that they’re excited to hear more. I am also looking forward to getting to know a lot more local musicians and artists now that I will have more consistent releases – there are so many talented people in this province! 

If you could work with any fellow Canadian artist, who would you choose?

I’ve got to work with a lot of awesome Canadians so far but one I’d love to work with would be Steven Lee Olsen. Been a fan of his for a while and I think it would be really fun to work with him someday.

Do you have any shows or festivals to tell us about?

I’ve been focusing more on recording and writing new music lately so I don’t have as much time to perform as I usually do. But listeners can follow me on my socials @dylanburkmusic to be the first to know about any upcoming shows! I can’t wait to share what else we’ve been working on later this year!
