London Morning associate producer Ryan Soulliere listens to a lot of music for his role picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that’s about 25 songs. Here are his top three local and Canadian picks from last week.
Shawnee Kish – Ride at Dawn
WATCH | Ride at Dawn:
Edmonton-based Shawnee Kish lives up to her promise, delivering solid country songs with some oomf. Ride at Dawn is one of two follow-up singles after her first full-length 2025 album Chapter 1, and it’s a banger. Complete with a catchy chorus, powerhouse vocals and plenty of twang, Ride at Dawn is a perfect motivator track for your weekend playlist.
Raza Sound System – No La Puedo Evitar
WATCH | No La Puedo Evitar:
London’s Raza Sound System can liven up a party playlist with any one of their songs, but No La Puedo Evitar is the one London Morning played ahead of their Fusion Fest show at Covent Garden Market Saturday night. No La Puedo Evitar is a lively song steeped in Latin rhythm and a track that will work very well on a dance playlist.
Bywater Call – So Far
WATCH | So Far:
Toronto blues collective Bywater Call’s latest album Broken Souvenirs is a dynamic work ranging from chill vibes to flat out big-band power. So Far is from the big-band power category. So Far starts with an infectious groove, then layers in top notch performances one section after another. By the tail end of So Far the whole band is in full swing and you’ll be swept up in the groove and flawless vocals from Meghan Parnell . Try So Far on a variety of playlists.
