Canada’s most celebrated artists Dean Brody and The Reklaws
are joining forces this fall for their co-headlining Hometown Heroes National Tour. The tour will bring the two chart-topping acts to stages across the country, delivering a must-see live experience packed with career-defining hits, standout storytelling, and the high-energy moments fans have come to expect from both artists.
Artist and promoter presale will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, May 6 with the Spotify Fans First pre-sale starting on Thursday, May 7. Tickets will be on sale everywhere on Friday, May 8 at 10AM local time.
“There’s something special about getting out across the country and playing these songs for fans in every corner of Canada,” says Dean Brody. “This tour is all about celebrating where we come from and the people who’ve been there along the way. Getting to do that alongside my friends, The Reklaws, is going to make it even more memorable.”
“Canada let’s go! We’re so fired up,” add The Reklaws. “We’ve shared so many moments with Dean over the years, and getting to bring that to fans across the country on this kind of scale is unreal. We cannot wait to see y’all out there!”

The ones who show up for their team, their neighbours and their people every day. The real heroes in every community from coast to coast.

About Dean Brody
Since his debut single “Brothers” hit the US Top-40 (2008), Dean has become one of the most beloved Canadian country artists of his generation. A passionate storyteller and unmatched lyricist, Dean has risen and continues to remain at the top of the Canadian country landscape with an impressive 34 Top-10 singles (including 9 #1s), CMA Award, 19 CCMA Awards, 2 JUNOs,
more than 528+ million global streams and numerous gold and platinum certified singles (including 1 triple platinum and 4 double platinum). No country artist has ever owned the Canadian stage like Dean in recent years, consistently selling out arenas across the country, and headlining Canada’s biggest music festivals. Dean also dedicates a large part of his life to philanthropic efforts through The Dean Brody Foundation, which he was honoured as the Gary Slaight Music Humanitarian Award recipient by the CCMA in 2023.
About The Reklaws
The Reklaws are a one-of-a-kind duo made up of siblings Jenna and Stuart Walker. Their debut single “Long Live the Night,” became the theme song for the CFL Thursday Night Football national broadcast in 2018/19 and their viral TikTok hit “What the Truck” feat. SACHA became the fastest-ever Canadian country song to go PLATINUM in the streaming era.
In 2023 the pair landed three coveted JUNO nominations, hosted the CCMA Awards, winning Top Selling Canadian Album for their 2022 release Good Ol’ Days and landed their fourth #1 with “Honky Tonkin’ About” feat. Drake Milligan. Last year they took home a 2024 CCMA Award for Musical Collaboration of the Year for that track with Milligan.
The Reklaws hold 8 JUNO nominations, 10 CCMA Awards, 4 #1s at Canadian Radio, 2 DOUBLE PLATINUM, 8 PLATINUM and 13 GOLD singles and a GOLD-certified debut album (Freshman Year). In addition, the pair have 438M+ Global Streams, 6 of the top 20 streamed singles by a
Canadian country artist since 2019 (more than any other artist) and the most domestically streamed debut album in Canadian country history. Listen to their single “Hometown Heroes” feat. Dean Brody, out everywhere now.
