New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Canadian country singer-songwriter Tommy John Ehman is serving up his timeless new take on the
Bruce Springsteen classic hit, �Hungry Heart.�
A multi-releasing and acclaimed singer/songwriter, this is Ehman�s (pronounced ēmn, with a hard �e�) first official cover offering, and lands a month after his not one, but two 2021 Saskatchewan Country
Music Award nominations were announced: Male Artist of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year.
��Hungry Heart� has been one of my favourite Springsteen songs, right from its original release in 1980, even before I knew it was The Boss singing it,� Ehman shares. �It�s such a classic. It�s simple, yet complex� Happy, yet sad at the same time� Thoughtful, yet spontaneous.
�I think we can all relate to that after 2020,� Ehman adds, �and who doesn�t need more heart in these socially distant days?! When I would play it live, it always got the crowd going and having fun, and we could all use more of that right now.
�This is a song to fall in love with all over again.�
Teeming with his resonant heart-felt vocals, plus his own tweaks to the track, Ehman�s �Hungry Heart� was produced by Brad Prosko of Regina�s B-Rad Studio. (There�s a further Boss-man connection afoot: Prosko also produced Ehman�s fourth studio album, Wheels of Life � which featured the legendary bass guitarist, Garry Tallent of Springsteen�s E-Street Band.)

Drummer Jayson Brinkworth, bassist Shane Hendrickson (Aaron Pritchett), and keyboardist Mike
Little (George Canyon) round out the track�s contributions.
Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Ehman is deeply entrenched in his rural roots � both musically, and otherwise. He and his family live on their fifth-generation farm and, while a degenerative eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa reduced his day-to-day activities on the farm, it hasn�t precluded him from writing songs and performing live.
With six studio albums to his credit - including 2019�s Day Night - Ehman has had multiple Top 100 charting songs, radio placements, and media features nationwide. He�s received # Saskatchewan Country
Music Award nominations - including this year�s SCMA nods for Songwriter of the Year and Male Artist of the Year - and shared the stage with the likes of his band, Idle Rains, Midnight Highway, Doc Walker, Michelle Wright, and more.
