Stop what you’re doing for a few minutes ❤️

The official music video for “Grandma Said” by Alexander Anderson is out now — and it’s something special.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex to bring this vision to life. It’s all about the lessons his grandmother’s shared and the way she sees the world — the kind of perspective we could all use a little more of. And getting to see her right there in the video with him makes it even better.

Huge shoutout to Andre Pettipas and Darcy Walsh — amazing work on this one.

Recorded right here at Saltwater Sound.

Take a few minutes and give it a watch ❤️

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Happy Birthday Mitchell MacDonald! 🎉

One of the real ones — salt of the earth, through and through. It’s been such a pleasure having you record with us at Saltwater Sound. You’ve got that rare mix of honest songwriting and a voice that sticks with you long after the session ends.

And of course… an amateur comedian in the studio (we’ll let you keep working on that part 😄).

Grateful to know you and excited to hear what you keep putting out into the world. Hope this year brings you more songs, more laughs, and plenty of good stories to tell.

Something awesome is coming your way! 🎶

We spent a few days in the studio with the incredibly talented working on his new tune “Grandma Said.” Stay tuned, folks — this guy is an amazing local artist and this song is something special.

Huge thanks to Alexander for trusting us with your music. We can’t wait for the rest of the world to hear this one!
