[On The Porch S5:E6] The Blue Collar Songwriter with Braden Lam

This week, Jenna sat down with Braden Lam for coffee and a conversation about his career in music.

Braden grew up in Uxbridge, Ontario, but has called Halifax home for a decade. He headed East to go to school for Biology & Environmental Science at Dalhousie. He immersed himself in the Halifax and East Coast music scene, and has enjoyed living next to the Atlantic ever since.

Braden was first introduced to our radars when he was a semifinalist in SiriusXM’s Top of the Country contest but has been cutting his teeth since his university years.

We talked a lot about his debut album The Cloudmaker’s Cry, which is a nod to the difficulty of navigating early adulthood. We also talked about the side quest business he and his wife started during the pandemic (listen to find out).

We talked about Folk as a genre and finding his sound through some of the late 2000s, early 2010s folk music. His sound balances these influences with some contemporary country.

Braden’s exciting announcement recently was his signing of a major record deal with Universal Music Cananda! He’s excited to be working with a large team and working on his next album.

Braden is currently on tour with School House for the Freewheelin’ Field Trip tour for March.

Front Porch

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
