Country Catch: Elyse Saunders

OSBlog02_CountryCatch_MASTERCanada not only produces great hockey players and delicious bacon, but also talented country singers. Hailing from our northern neighbor is Ontario-born Elyse Saunders. With a surprisingly soulful voice, this diminutive blond has the range and variety to make it big in country music. With a look like Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood but a voice like Martina McBride, Elyse has all the trappings of a star. Her set list includes soft songs like “Paris is Burning” to ditties like “What’s Stopping You,” and though simple, Elyse doesn’t need the big frills of other artists. Her voice and song choice speak for themselves and “simply awesome” is the only thing coming to mind when it comes to Ms. Saunders.

“Bittersweet” is a song that’s garnering huge success on OurStage for Elyse. And, while “taking the good with the bad” is a great way to live, there’s nothing bad to cope with when it comes to Elyse Saunders! Check out her fanclub and enjoy!

DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEK: DEVIN BELLE


Devin Belle was born a Texan and raised an Alaskan. Sick of the freezing cold, she moved to Tennessee with her husband to embark on a music career in Nashville. Her adventurous spirit and angelic voice make for a compelling raconteur and singer-songwriter. While influences of country songbirds Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood shine through her music, listeners can sense a bit of good, old fashioned R&B soul when she hits the high notes. Devin is making a home for herself on the Nashville live circuit in addition to making a home for herself on OurStage. In the past year she’s landed an impressive five Top 10 spots within the Alternative Country, Country and Female Singer-Songwriter Channels. Give her country chart-topping track “Mama Never Told Me” a listen and treat yourself to one of Nashville’s most promising rising stars.
