“Stompin’ Ground” Brings Out Rising Star Jaimey Hamilton’s Unapologetic Love For Country Music And Cherished Summer Memories

Canadian country artist Jaimey Hamilton is thrilled to share her new single, “Stompin’ Ground”, which arrives on all digital streaming platforms on July 7^th, but fans of Canadian Beats Media, get a special first listen!

Written by Hamilton and Juno-nominated songwriter Scotty Hills, the single was produced by Chris Eriksen, who also helmed Hamilton’s most recent singles, “Save a Barstool for Me” and “Anxious Heart”. For the Victoria, British Columbia-based artist, “Stompin’ Ground” offers country-pop vocal vibes along with catchy guitar riffs, uplifting pedal steel accents, and a singer-songwriter’s touch.

In sharing her thoughts on the single, Jaimey says,

“Through the years at my family’s lake cabin in the summer, my happy place has always been on my dock with a drink in my hand and country music playing through the speakers. For ‘Stompin’ Ground’, I tied those memories together with my unapologetic love for country music into a song that conveys nostalgia and fits right in as a summertime country playlist staple.”

Along with an official music video set to drop in July, Jaimey Hamilton will support “Stompin’ Ground” with a return engagement to Sunfest in BC’s Cowichan Valley – playing Saturday, August 5^th at 6 PM on the Lake Night Stage as well as Sunday, August 6th at 2:30 PM on the Flats Stage as part of a BC Country Music Association’s songwriters round.
