Jarrid Lee Releases Emotional New Single “One Less Face”
Emerging Canadian Plains Cree country-rock singer Jarrid Lee has released his brand new single “One Less Face.”

Award-winning Plains Cree country-rock artist Jarrid Lee has released his latest single “One Less Face,” available on all major streaming platforms. This poignant track, described by Jarrid as “the saddest song I’ve ever written,” offers an intimate exploration of grief, memory, and the universal experience of losing someone who once lit up the room.
With his trademark humour intact, Jarrid quips, “Don’t listen to this song—it’s too sad, and you’ll probably cry.” But behind the light-hearted delivery lies a heartfelt truth: “One Less Face” is an emotional gut-punch, a song that invites listeners to sit with their sorrow and honour their memories of those they’ve lost.
Jarrid often describes his career as an “Everest”—a climb past obstacles of doubt and hardship. Despite the odds Indigenous artists face in mainstream spaces, he’s carved out his place with perseverance and talent. His music is an act of both defiance and gratitude. “I could’ve been a statistic,” he’s said, reflecting on his path. Instead, he’s become a storyteller whose voice amplifies resilience and love with unmatched authenticity.
Whether singing about grief in “One Less Face,” serendipity in “Too Good To Be True,” or victories hard-won over self-doubt, every note feels real. His collaborations, like his work with Ashley Ghostkeeper on “Too Good To Be True,” are praised for their truth and relatability—he writes as he lives, open-hearted and determined.
This commitment to authenticity has earned him chart-topping singles, multiple SCMA and SaskMusic nominations, and features on radio stations across Canada. Yet, Jarrid remains grounded, grateful for every spin his songs receive. His ethos is simple: to make music that listeners can see themselves in, to be as relatable as the working-class lumberjack flannel that shaped his youth.
For listeners, Jarrid Lee is more than an emerging artist—he’s an evolving story of resilience, cultural pride, and timeless music. Whether performing on a grand stage or sharing a new song in a quiet corner of social media, he connects with listeners by reminding them of life’s universal truths: grief, joy, connection, and the drive to keep climbing.
Jarrid says:
“If I can make someone stop and feel for just three minutes, then I’ve done my job.”
