Stuart Walker, the brother sister duo known professionally as The Reklaws. It follows their debut album, Freshman Year which, in addition to being certified GOLD in Canada, also finds itself the most domestically streamed album by a Canadian country artist in the past decade. Recorded in Stuart's living room after the pandemic struck, Sophomore Slump features 12-tracks : the gold-certified hit single,"
Where I'm From", everyone's favourite drinking anthem ("Beer Can") as well as the duo's brand new single, "Not Gonna Not." Produced by Todd Clark, the 12-track album is a collection of anthems that summarize the timeless shared emotions and moments that make up the college experience. Everyone experiences the same heartbreak, hopes and life-changing decisions that we're faced with in our transformative, coming of age years. This album is the reflective soundtrack to those years.
Raised on their family farm in rural Ontario, The Reklaws, made up of sibling duo Jenna and
Stuart Walker, signed their first major record deal with Universal
Music in 2017. They found success with their second single "Long Live the Night" when it quickly became platinum certified. The single went on to win the 2019 CCMA for top-selling Canadian single of the year and was selected as the theme song for the Canadian Football League's ("CFL")
