MAHONE BAY, NS – Jon Mullane, one of Canada’s most consistently compelling voices in modern rock, pop, and country – has released ‘The Road’, a five-song EP produced by Toronto’s Creighton Doane, available now on all major platforms. It is Mullane’s first artist-centric collection of new original songs since the pandemic, and it arrives with the confidence of an artist who knows exactly where he has been and exactly where he is going.
“The Road” All-In-One Link
The road that led to ‘The Road’ ran through Nashville. Mullane spent the better part of two years travelling between his home in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia and Music City, reconnecting with old collaborators and forging new ones, and finding in that creative environment the inspiration to write songs that felt genuinely close and personal. Four of the five tracks were co-written in Nashville, including work with Grammy-nominated hitmaker Michael Dulaney – whose credits include Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, and Rascal Flatts among dozens of others – and Michael Jay, the songwriter and producer behind Martika’s Number One Billboard hit “Toy Soldiers”, whose work spans Celine Dion, Eminem, Gloria Estefan, and New Kids On The Block. For Mullane, being back in Nashville normalised what he has always known: “It’s just everyday business there, as opposed to most other places in the world, and feels right to me.”
The EP’s lead single “Remember in November”, co-written with Dulaney and Jay and recorded at Nashville’s legendary Peer Music Publishing studio, announced the collection with warmth and melody to spare – a reflective anthem about connection, memory, and the golden glow of late summer. The music video scored a win at the 2026 California Music Video Awards for Best of Canada Music Video, nominated in three categories. Current single “Moon on Fire” has since climbed to #1 on the Yangaroo/DMDS chart, appearing among the Top CANCON Downloads, Most Active Indies, and Top Country Downloads simultaneously.
Across the EP’s five songs – “Remember in November”, “Moon on Fire”, “Follow Your Own Road”, “One Day Closer”, and “Bring It On” – the common thread is feeling. Joy, hope, sadness, purpose, and the satisfaction of knowing you have followed your own instincts all the way to the finish line. “After being in this industry for quite some time now, it seems every song and album I make takes on a special meaning on this musical journey,” Mullane says. “Putting it out to the world to find a home seems like a gift to me.”
It is a gift well earned. Mullane has released five full-length albums, charted multiple Top 40 Billboard singles in Canada and the US, placed his music with NBC’s Olympic Games coverage, and performed everywhere from the House of Blues in Hollywood to the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles to the Molson Canadian Centre in New Brunswick. The Associated Press has called him “one of Canada’s most consistently compelling voices in contemporary pop-rock.” ‘The Road’ makes the case all over again.
