Bryce and Trent Agecoutay are from Cowessess First
Nation, and started playing in Alberta Honky-tonks with
their Dad, Jim, performing Country Music since 1992.
Uncle Trent and Friends Legacy is a project funded by
Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Calgary Arts
Development that allowed the Agecoutay brothers to
honour their Dad after he passed. All the songs on Legacy
were written or co-written by their late Dad, Jim
Agecoutay
Bryce and Trent released the album Legacy in April of 2025
and the album has seen a # 1 single on the Indigenous
Music Countdown with Burn a Smudge, another single
You’re the Reason, has been in full rotation on Sirius XM
Indigiverse for most of 2025, and the album Legacy
charted in the top ten of the Earshott National Folk, Roots
and Blues chart.
Trent and Bryce watched their dad from a very young age,
sit at the kitchen table and write songs. He always had a
pot of coffee, a lit cigarette and an old tape recorder. They
would hide in the next room and listen to the stories their
dad would create. Their love of music and storytelling
would eventually inspire them to start performing along
side their dad and create their own space in the Global
music landscape.
