Brock Gonyea

Channeling the spirit of classic country, American singer and songwriter Brock Gonyea brings the sound of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams into a contemporary country setting with his 2021 debut Where My Heart Is. Born and raised in Tupper Lake in upstate New York, music surrounded Gonyea as a child; his father, grandfather, and uncle played bluegrass and folk, and passed on traditional songs to him. His love of old-time country prompted him to take on covers of original songs and post them to his social media channels. A cover of Faron Young's "Hello Walls" went viral and caught the attention of Brynn Arens, who flew Gonyea to Nashville to start putting together some songs. A meeting with Big Machine followed and in 2020 he inked a deal with the label. Drafting in some of the best players from Nashville's country scene, Gonyea started to work on what would become his debut EP. Where My Heart Is was issued at the beginning of 2021 and featured original material by Gonyea, as well as a version of an unrecorded Mel Tillis and Webb Pierce song, "All Night Long," from the 1940s.
