Adam from HEYJACK – The Band You’re About to Hear Everywhere

This is one of those bands you’re going to wish you found earlier. In this episode of the Overheard Podcast recorded live in Banff, we sit down with Adam from HEYJACK — a Canadian band that’s been quietly building serious momentum across the country. From touring almost every province in Canada to sharing stages with some of the country’s most recognizable artists, HEYJACK is carving out a sound rooted in storytelling, identity, and feel-good rock. But this conversation goes deeper than music. We get into Adam’s personal journey, from his early connection to music to rediscovering Indigenous roots and how that’s shaped both his identity and his songwriting. We also unpack what it actually takes to build a band from the ground up, the reality behind the “band lifestyle,” and what it means to keep pushing forward when things start to gain momentum. One of the most unique parts of this story is touring Canada with his kids — and what that experience meant beyond just the music. From the challenges to the unforgettable moments, it adds a whole new layer to what this journey looks like. We also dive into songwriting, including how songs come together, what makes one feel complete, and what it’s like to create something that feels almost too personal to release. With a full-length album on the way, we talk about where HEYJACK is headed next, what success looks like right now, and what Adam hopes people take away when they hear the music for the first time. Whether you’re discovering HEYJACK for the first time or already following their journey, this is a conversation about passion, persistence, family, and building something meaningful.
