About Us

Abbey Powell and Jason Hastie knew immediately they had discovered something special after meeting in 2003.  Both were chasing dreams of careers in country music, but after receiving an enthusiastic response from industry and fans alike, they began performing as a duo. They found a fresh country sound and began working with Canadian award-winning producer Bart McKay, who is also from their home province of Saskatchewan. In February 2009, with a distribution deal through 306 Records and EMI Music Canada, their debut album Beautiful Something hit stores. Featuring six songs written by Jason and Abbey, as well as songs written by well-established hit-makers such as John Rich, Byron Hill, Willie Mack, and Jason McCoy, Six West’s soulful harmonies came through with a blend of beauty and spontaneity. They have seven releases to Canadian country radio, including the remake of the classic Eagles’ Desperado.

2010 has proven to be an amazing year for Six West, garnering a Western Canadian Music Award nomination for Country Recording of the Year, as well as being one of eight artists chosen out of 200 to perform at the CCMA New Artist Showcase in Edmonton, an event that kicks off the Canadian Country Music Awards.

 In addition to sharing stages with Aaron Pritchett, George Canyon, Shane Yellowbird and Aaron Lines, Six West has performed at the Calgary Stampede, Big Valley Jamboree, and a number of other established festivals in Canada.  They have also found the time to give back to the community by starting the Six West Music for Kids Foundation, which focuses on bringing live music into schools across Alberta and helping them to grow their current music programs. They would eventually love to spread this organization right across Canada.

 Abbey and Jason are currently looking forward to the release of a new single in early 2011, and the release of their sophomore album shortly after. Six West's fresh country sound, passionate, original songs, and their strong, brilliant harmonies are sure to leave you inspired and wanting more!
