Originally from Owen Sound, Ontario, Jeff Catto is an artist with energy, raw talent, and a touch of grit. Now based in Calgary, Catto brings his dynamic blend of pop-rock country to life, blending smooth vocals with smoky, heartfelt storytelling. His style has drawn comparisons to icons like Dierks Bentley, Nate Smith, and Jason Aldean, and his sound continues to evolve, capturing the attention of fans.
His latest single, “Gold,” dropped on August 16, joining a collection of fan favourites he’s crafted at the renowned MCC Studios. Tracks like “Out of My Head,” “Dang Girl,” “Million Dollar View,” “Livin’ My Best Life,” and “Friend” have all resonated on radio, with Want You Even More and Friend enjoying extended time on Sirius XM and gaining traction on over 500 stations across Canada, the U.S., and Australia.
In January 2021, Catto launched his debut country track, “Round of Life,” a personal anthem celebrating family, daily joys, and his vibrant household. With over 120k streams and widespread radio play, the song cemented his place on the country scene. His follow-up love song, “Want You Even More,” broadened his reach and established him as a heartfelt storyteller.
As he continued to build momentum, Catto has had the privilege opening for some of country’s biggest names, including Gary Levox (Rascal Flatts), Aaron Goodvin, Aaron Pritchett, Gord Bamford, Deric Ruttan, Doc Walker, and Kira Isabella.
His latest single, “Didn’t See it Coming,” was written in the wake of a life-changing divorce. For Catto, this song is a personal reminder that life’s unexpected turns often work out in ways we never anticipate.
Beyond performing, Catto writes and produces his own music, occasionally collaborating with other artists. His recently released EP, Bless Your Heart, is a two-year labor of love. These five tracks capture a “breakup” chapter of his life, recorded at MCC Studios, which recently won a CCMA Award for Studio of the Year.
“It’s been amazing seeing these songs come to life. Some of them were written years ago, and now my band and I are diving into new material. It’s an exciting new chapter,” Catto shares.
His signature country-rock sound has deepened over the years, as he’s embraced the vulnerable, genuine connection between artist and listener. “The relationship between the artist and listeners is so intimate because they’re hearing everything the artist is going through,” he reflects.
With 35 shows lined up through January, Jeff Catto is just getting started on his next exciting chapter in country music. His evolving artistry and unwavering drive make him one to watch on the country scene.
Make sure to give his new EP Bless Your Heart a listen and catch one of his many upcoming live shows.
