Music Genre: Classic Country

Bio:
Sonny Mac is the pseudonym for Carson MacDonald, a musician born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. With his experience from being both a Grant MacEwan graduate and a bass player in “The Gibson Block” Carson honed his songwriting skills over the years. Inspired by his heroes such as Johnny Cash, Elvis, and Hank Williams, Carson set his sights in a new direction as he donned the name of Sonny Mac. As Sonny Mac he broke out onto the scene with two singles called “That’s How She Goes” and “My Heart’s Got a Hole”. The enthusiastic response to his original songs prompted Sonny to go back into the studio to record a full length album. Sonny Mac “Sings” was released on October 5, 2019 and has been a great success, featuring a broader range of songwriting techniques while still remaining true to the classic country sound that inspired Sonny Mac to start writing in the first place. His exciting live energy and dedication to the style has garnered a sizable following. The songs, while at times being tongue in cheek, are always honest and real. With a unique blend of classic country and rock’n’roll Sonny Mac’s music can make you laugh, shout and cheer, or at other times put a tear in your eye.  Whichever way you take it, at a Sonny Mac show you’re gonna have a toe tappin’ foot stompin’ good time!
