Five Minutes With: Country-Rock Artist Devin Cooper

Devin Cooper continues to carve his own path in the genre—and he’s not asking for permission. Kicking off 2025 with major momentum, Cooper earned six Country Music Alberta Award nominations, making him the most-nominated solo artist of the year. The recognition follows the success of his expansive 22-track double album, Good Things: Deluxe Edition, released in 2024.

Known for blending gritty rock ’n’ roll vocals with honest, emotionally grounded songwriting, Cooper’s music is powered by bold guitar riffs and anthemic choruses. He seamlessly bridges the worlds of country and rock, creating songs that resonate with small-town souls and rebellious spirits alike.

His latest single, the soaring anthem “Memories That Made Us,” dropped June 6 on all platforms.
