ABOUT KATE REID

Born in Whitehorse, Yukon and now based in Calgary, Alberta, Kate Reid has become a standout in the Canadian country music community through her powerful vocals, heartfelt songwriting, and genuine connection with listeners.

She has headlined iconic Calgary stages including Ranchman’s, earned Best Original Song in the Ranchman’s Rising Star Competition, and reached the Top 10 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown with her single “Bang.” Her performances have taken her across Alberta and B.C., including a recent appearance at the renowned Red Bird Brewing in Kelowna.

“This song is for anyone who feels a mix of emotions during the holidays,” Reid says. “It holds the cozy, joyful parts of Christmas, but also the ache of missing loved ones, missing home, and wishing the feeling of the season could last forever.”

Recorded at Story Beat Media and produced by Eric Rolheiser and Deyson Thiara, the track began during a studio day originally intended for a Christmas cover. When Rolheiser played a beautifully haunting melody, the team immediately felt the spark of something original and decided to bring it to life together.

Rooted in Reid’s northern upbringing, “Christmas, Stay With Us” paints vivid scenes of snow-covered dirt roads, lantern-lit stables, and the quiet magic of Yukon winters. The release marks a meaningful milestone for Reid as she continues to rise within Canada’s country and roots landscape.
