The Journey YYC, Vol. 1 is the second extended play by Canadian country artist Paul Brandt, released on April 6, 2018. The EP is the first part of a two-part series with the second volume The Journey BNA, Vol. 2 being released in November 2018.[3] Brandt debuted the extended play live at a CBC Music "First Play Live" event in Toronto, Ontario in April 2018.[4]
Background
Brandt conceived the idea of the two-part extended play series while on a motorcycle trip along the Pacific Coast Highway in California. He thought of it as a reverse concept of his past hit "Alberta Bound", starting with him conceptually in Calgary, Alberta (YYC), before progressing to Nashville, Tennessee (BNA) for the second volume.[3]
