Slowcity.ca Open Mic: Justin Rutledge, Terry Uyarak, Duke and Goldie, Laila Biali, Nia Nadurata, Noisy, Mouraine and Westside Boogie, and Bensley

"This song is about the underdog becoming the Big Dawg. Growing up as the little guy with a big heart has always been a blessing in disguise. It humbled me, but it also never limited or kept me from achieving anything I wanted. 'It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.' Right Boogie?" - Mouraine

Slowcity.ca Open Mic: Justin Rutledge, Bella White, Duke & Goldie, Andrina Turenne, Begonia, quinnie, and Logan Staats

By Will McGuirk

“Most songs are trouble, they really do a number on me, but this one was kind. Songs rarely arrive this gently, although I wish they did.” - Justin Rutledge

“. . . bringing it to life by turning a valley into a peak felt deeply cathartic. It’s a heartbreaker that I hope will at least get you moving.” - Bella White

“I love going out and losing myself, but I’ve also learned as I’ve grown that I can’t do it all the time and sometimes my anxiety takes over and I just shut down. So basically I wrote this being like…’I can’t be the only one, right?’.” - Begonia

“I think the video is a perfect visual depiction of that chapter of my life and the feeling of being in that hotel room alone writing the song.” - Logan Staats
