A Podcast Conversation With ...Dustin Bird

By Bill King

Rising Canadian country artist and Stirling, Ontario native Dustin Bird will be releasing his new single Get Go on September 24. He possesses a strong fan base and over 14K monthly listeners.


On the release, Dustin shares, "To put it simply, Get Go is for the person I haven’t met yet. Instantly, this song spoke to my core, confirming that this profound connection is out there, waiting to be found with you. So, whoever you are, wherever you are, just know that I can’t wait to meet you. We are both going to know it, from the Get Go."
