Jeff Catto

With roots just down the road in Owen Sound, this weeks spotlight shines on Jeff Catto and his latest single, “Friend.”

Tune in for Jeff’s chat with Jackie tomorrow at 4:30pm EST as they talk all about the powerful meaning of the song and about his brand new EP “Songs for my Wife.”

"Jeff Catto has returned to his roots with a new brand of wholesome, high energy and heartfelt set of country songs. This dynamic artist currently calls the beautiful community of Woodstock, Ontario home. Catto delivers an infectious blend of singer-songwriter pop/rock country that has been compared to and influenced by notable artists such as, Dierks Bentley, Niko Moon, and Jason Aldean.

On January 10th, 2022, Catto is set to release the third single off his upcoming EP “Songs For My Wife,” called ‘Friend.’ Inspired by mental health and the struggle he is no stranger to, it’s also influenced by the strength of his wife, who helps him continue to hold on and stand tall through it all. Throughout the song, Catto also shares a gentle reminder that you’re loved and that there’s someone who will walk through the trenches with you, if you, yourself are going through it. This powerful song was written by Catto & Jonathan Turner and produced by Catto & Ariel Delgado at his home studio, Rocky Mountain Creative.

Catto’s current release dedicated to his wife and all the lovebirds out there, ‘Want You Even More’ (2021) has exceeded 100k streams across all digital platforms and was added to Sirius XM.  His dynamic debut song, written about his daily life, his big beautiful family and his fun household, ‘Round Of Life’ (2021) has accomplished over 170k streams on Spotify alone. 

Catto has been writing songs for over 18 years with 15 charting singles on Christian radio. He was also named a Canadian Gospel Music Association (CGMA) Nominee for, "Best New Artist" (2018). Catto has opened for Aaron Pritchett, Gord Bamford, Deric Ruttan, Sean Hogan, Jake Matthews, Diane Chase, Gil Grand, Kira Isabella and Jason McCoy. Catto also co-wrote Aaron Pritchett's single, 'Summertime.'  

In the new year, Catto is taking a new venture out west with his wife and six kids - he’ll be calling Calgary, Alberta home! He says, “if there's a place and opportunity to be creative, I’ll be going to it and I’ll be taking it.”
