Country music star and 2x 2021 CCMA Award nominee Aaron Goodvin has released his brand new EP, Lucky Stars, and is celebrating his second No. 1 hit as the lead single, “Boy Like Me,” topped the Canadian country charts in late 2021. The follow-up single and title track, “Lucky Stars,” was released to Canadian country radio in November. On the EP Lucky Stars, Goodvin teams up again with Grammy-nominated producer Matt McClure, with whom he worked on his 2019 JUNO Award nominated album, entitled V. The Alberta-born, Nashville-based artist brings an esteemed lineup of collaborators to the project, creating dazzling music ranging from the ridiculously catchy to the wildly cinematic. Goodvin was nominated for two 2021 CCMA Award – in the Interactive Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year categories – bringing his career total to nine nominations.
