Meet the team:

Angie Morris

Angie Morris launched Sirroma Entertainment to focus on artist development and career growth. Her first signing, Alberta’s Drew Gregory, went on to win multiple Country Music Alberta awards. Sirroma later welcomed Quinton Blair, an eight-time award-winning Manitoba artist, and emerging Indigenous talent Brad Sims. Angie also worked with Renegade Station, a now-retired Alberta group recognized with several provincial awards.

With a strong background in music and live events, Angie previously owned a venue that hosted intimate shows featuring artists such as Johnny Reid and Aaron Pritchett, and produced classic rock concerts with bands like Trooper and Prism.

She co-founded “Diamonds in the Rough,” a showcase during Canadian Country Music Week that gives rising artists exposure to industry professionals. Angie also served six years on the Country Music Alberta board, helping guide the organization’s growth.

Passionate about supporting Canadian talent, Angie continues to be a respected leader in the country music scene and one of the driving forces behind Alberta Country Collective.

Bill Hanson

Bill Hanson has spent a lifetime immersed in music. Picking up the bass and singing at a young age, his passion for country music peaked in his early teens — and never let go. Over the years, Bill has worn nearly every hat in the industry, including performer, manager, tour and road manager, and specialist in live sound, lighting, and video production.

Today, Bill is based in central Alberta with his wonderful partner Amber and where he runs H Factor Productions, along with his children Billie and Brett. Bill is also a proud father to Jesse, Tsar, and Camryn, and a grandfather to Ryann — all of whom provide the balance and support that keep him grounded.

A passionate advocate for Alberta’s country music scene, Bill is dedicated to supporting local talent and creating meaningful opportunities within the industry.
