Annika Catharina's family background influenced her love for performance. Growing up in a family that was partial to music, theatre, and the arts, she herself was also a dancer.

Theatre and live performance is what actually helped her to overcome shyness, something she still manages to this day.

Speaking of the big stage, Annika has had quite the year. She was a semi-finalist in SiriusXM's Top of the Country competition, and also a semi-finalist in this year's Emerging Artist Showcase at Boots and Hearts Music Festival.

Her single "Love and Hate" is at radio now, was just featured as Bell's iHeartFutureStar, and is currently Rogers One To Watch. The single is her first Top 50 at Canadian country radio.

With lots more music on the way, her latest single "Under Covers" is out now!

This week on On The Porch with Front Porch Music, we’re taking you with us to Montréal! We packed up the porch and headed to Parc Jean-Drapeau for LASSO Music Festival — one of the biggest country music events in Canada ... and it did not disappoint.

From the heat to the high vibes (and Jenna’s attempt at French…), it was a weekend full of incredible music, great conversations, and unforgettable moments. In this special festival episode, we’re bringing you quick chats and fun clips with some of the artists who made LASSO so special, including:

• Madeline Merlo
• Tyler Braden
• Savannah Jade
• Jack Wharff Band
• Sarah Vanderzon
• Teigen Gayse
• Tucker Wetmore
• Sacha

If you couldn’t make it to Montréal, don’t worry ... we’ve got you covered. Grab a drink, pretend you’re sitting riverside with us on the island, and enjoy our LASSO Music Festival edition of On The Porch.

This week On The Porch, we’re joined by Mac Rumbolt. Mac is the winner of the Cottage Springs Country Rising contest, where he took home the grand prize of $10,000, and an artist development package with Starseed Entertainment.

Mac comes from small-town Nova Scotia, where he learned to play guitar at just five years old. Unsure of how a career in music may unfold, he initially headed to Alberta for an apprenticeship as a Harley Davidson mechanic. One drive by shooting and a leg amputation later, Mac found himself back at home working in behavioural health.

Unable to play sports anymore, Mac turned back to his guitar and writing music, a place of comfort while he rehabbed his injuries. A Facebook ad and a dream later, Mac applied for the Country Rising contest and found himself the winner.

This summer, he opened for the Reklaws in Windsor, along with their back to back sold out shows at the legendary Kee To Bala.

We can’t wait to see what’s next from Mac, including a single release in the near future!
