One of the underrated elements of the offbeat hockey comedy Shoresy is the carefully-curated soundtrack that complements the hilarious yet heartfelt narrative. Each season of the show introduces 20 to 30 songs to the audience, typically focusing on dance, techno, and house music from various lesser-known artists, although it does mix in rap and rock when the time is right. Every so often a more well-known song will be thrown in, but by and large the average Shoresy viewer will be unfamiliar with the music that makes up the show’s soundtrack.
Part of what makes the soundtrack to each season so memorable is how fitting each song is for the Sudbury location or scene in which it’s used. The Shoresy team clearly put a lot of time and effort into finding the perfect songs. Even more impressive is the fact that most artists featured are either Canadian or international, so the soundtrack for each season is diverse in the style and tone of its progression. Music is a key part of what gives the show its personality, from the very first scene to the ending of season 4 of Shoresy.

Shoresy Season 5: Confirmation, Cast & Everything We Know
The Letterkenny spinoff Shoresy has already enjoyed a four-season run thus far, and now the Canadian hockey comedy is coming back for season 5.
Shoresy Season 4 Episode 1 Songs
“Summer In Sudvegas”
“Had2Go” by Wavedash: The first song featured in season 4 of Shoresy is “Had2Go” by Wavedash. The upbeat house music jam plays at the very first scene of the first episode, in the background of the opening montage that shows the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs enjoying their summer in Sudvegas. It’s the perfect fit to capture the sunshine and sexiness of the boys’ beach and boat escapades.
“Just Like That” by Bree Runway: The aggressive rap song “Just Like That” by Bree Runway plays over the brief montage of Shoresy suiting up before his first appearance on BROdude’s quick-hit-show 3-On-1. The song builds steadily as Shoresy gets ready, and matches up nicely until his new look is revealed.
“Skanka (Kayzo Remix)” by Hamdi: The third song of episode 1 of season 4 of Shoresy is Hamdi’s “Skanka (Kayzo Remix)”, a head-banging techno dance track that plays when Shoresy celebrates with the NOSHO cup at an unnamed bar in downtown Sudbury with the team and some fans. The fast-paced song perfectly captures the manic energy of a Sudbury Saturday Night, particularly when the aim is dancing and drinking as opposed to attending a Bulldogs game.

“Low Drop (feat. Rye Rye & TT the Artist)” by Normaling: The classic-style club song plays over the first look the audience gets at Weird Sudbury, the highly secretive and exclusive rave/party/orgy that takes place at an undisclosed location. It only plays for a few seconds during a slow-motion reveal of some of the furry-costumed and flexible attendees of Weird Sudbury, but it definitely gives the vibe of what kind of party it is.
“The Happy Treep” by Bentley Weeda: For the first time in season 4 of Shoresy, the audience gets an easier, more relaxed dance vibe with “The Happy Treep” by Bentley Weeda. It plays over a montage of Shoresy biking across Sudbury at night, and the reason it’s more laidback than the preceding songs becomes clear: Shoresy is headed to Laura Mohr’s house for a relaxed chat on her porch. As they talk, Laura lays out why she’s so hesitant to let things go to the next level with them, but it does nothing to deter Shoresy’s confidence.
“waiting for u” by Sonan: The soft yet upbeat dance track “waiting for u” by Sonan plays over the closing credits as an exclamation point on Shoresy’s conversation with Laura. The title of the song speaks to the dynamic between Shoresy and Laura, and the final two songs of the episode demonstrate the difference in Shoresy’s personality when he’s with Laura Mohr vs. when he’s with his teammates or in the rest of the world at large.
Shoresy Season 4 Episode 2 Songs
“Blueberry Buddies”
“Stars (feat. Steve Winwood)” by BURNS: If any song could be singled out as the theme song for season 4 of Shoresy, it’s probably “Stars (feat. Steve Winwood)” by BURNS. It’s used over the title card of episode 2, and it’s the perfect upbeat dance track to capture the positive vibes that permeate each season of Shoresy. This song does that so well that Shoresy revisits it for the end credits of episode 6, making it the last song of the entire season.
“You Learn” by Alanis Morissette: It’s only fitting that for his personal serenade of Laura Mohr at Little Montreal’s karaoke night, Shoresy chooses one of the best songs from the Canadian-American musical icon, Alanis Morissette. The song’s popularity is demonstrated when Miig and Nat join Shoresy on the stage to sing along with him. Shoresy further emphasizes its significance by playing the actual Alanis Morissette version of the song over the episode’s end credits.
Shoresy Season 4 Episode 3 Songs
“The Itch”
“Wild Enough” by Cortese, Higgo & Kitty: The seductive dance track “Wild Enough” opens up episode 3 of season 4 of Shoresy, and as usual it’s a perfect fit for the slow-motion montage its laid over. The episode opens with Dolo, Hitch, and Goody hooking up with the moms of their Blueberry Buddies, each getting a one-on-one scene with their respective mom. The song plays from the opening credits through the title screen, and covers the entire mom montage.
“Never Ending Song of Love” by Delaney & Bonnie: This song sticks out in season 4 of Shoresy due to its country vibe. It’s played over a montage of Shoresy sitting in on Lakers practice while Nat works on her laptop, and continues as Shoresy makes his way to Laura Mohr’s house on his bike once again. The lyrics match up with Shoresy’s feelings for Laura of course, making this an odd but ideal choice for the episode.
Over the course of season 4 of Shoresy, the Bulldogs are shown celebrating with the NOSHO Cup in 15 real locations around the actual city of Greater Sudbury in Ontario.
“Joy (A Place I Belong)” by Joy Anonymous: While “Joy (A Place I Belong)” is still a dance track, it comes with a heavy dose of R&B, and makes it an easygoing, pleasant song that matches up with Shoresy and Laura’s moment in her bathroom, which is where the song begins. It continues over a montage of the Bulldogs’ excursion on Lake Ramsey with the Lakers, which is an attempt to give their Blueberry Buddies a much-needed mental break from hockey. The montage continues with Nat, Miig, and Ziig taking a similarly much-needed break from work, dancing at a club.
“Yes I Think” by Kocham: The dark and unusual techno dance track plays over the final moments of episode 3, in which the camera follows behind a group of scantily-costumed women as they go into the mysterious door that marks the location of Weird Sudbury. It’s a clear indicator of the energy of the party; intoxicating and fun, but with a dose of sin.
Shoresy Season 4 Episode 4 Songs
“Good And Weird”
“Go All The Way” by Raspberries: One of the rare non-dance tracks for season 4 of Shoresy hits when the title screen appears, and covers a montage of Shoresy taking care of Laura Mohr’s house even though she didn’t ask him and isn’t aware he’s doing it. It’s an iconic classic rock song from 1972, and once again the song title and lyrics match what it is that Shoresy’s attempting to do with Laura. It’s a common theme that the songs that stand out the most from the soundtrack relate back to Laura somehow, and this is a great example.

Shoresy Season 3 Soundtrack Guide: Every Song & When They Play
The Shoresy season 3 soundtrack featured 34 songs ranging from alternative rock and pop to Hip-Hop and scores that accompanied different scenes.
“Crush” by Sebastian Paul: The silky-smooth electronic dance track “Crush” plays while the Lakers ogle Maria Mercier, the 23-year-old that Jack has…well, a crush on. It’s much more low-key than many of the other songs on the season 4 soundtrack, and acts as a nice complement to Jack attempting to work up his confidence when it comes to Maria.
“Carousel” by Ford: The steadily-building, piano-accented soft electronic track at first seems not to match the scene, as it begins when the Bulldogs are getting into the limousine with Mercedes, Miig, and Ziig on their way to the Weird Sudbury Prospects Party. While Goody, Dolo, Hitch, and the girls are ecstatic to be on their way, the somewhat sad song actually matches up with Shoresy’s mental state. He is undecided on whether he wants to actually attend Weird Sudbury, or remain loyal to Laura as he has been; on top of that, he’s not comfortable that Michaels was left behind.
“Dark Days (Revisited)” by Art D’Ecco: Art D’Ecco’s twisted rock/dance track “Dark Days (Revisited) actually plays for nearly five minutes. It begins in the limousine when Mercedes is explaining the rules of the Weird Sudbury Prospects Party to the Bulldogs, and continues throughout the entire montage of the group at the party. It finally cuts out for the scene in which the Jims get seduced by the other Bulldogs’ former girlfriends, only to pick back up again for the end credits. It perfectly encapsulates the dark and mysterious, yet sexy vibe of Weird Sudbury.
Shoresy Season 4 Episode 5 Songs
“Reset The Tone”
“Ab’s Song” by The Marshall Tucker Band: Another non-dance track hits with the title card for episode 5 of season 4 of Shoresy. Country/folk classic “Ab’s Song” is from 1973, and it’s associated with Jack walking past Maria Mercier, who Hitch mentions is a country fan later in the episode as a suggestion for Jack’s karaoke song.
“Feel the Love” by Rudimental: Rudimental’s super-upbeat dance track “Feel the Love” captures one of the most heartwarming moments of season 4 of Shoresy. It plays over the montage of Shoresy, Dolo, Hitch, Goody, Michaels, and the Jims “resetting the tone” and burying all their beef with a playful, energetic free skate. As is mentioned in season 4, the Bulldogs are the best versions of themselves when they’re playing hockey, and “Feel the Love” is a positive representation of the Bulldogs at their best.
“When I’m With You” by Sheriff: In his biggest scene in the show so far, Hitch educates the Lakers, Jack in particular, about how to charm a girl by embarrassing yourself. He and the other Bulldogs sing the 1982 classic “When I’m With You” by Toronto-based rock band Sheriff, notable for its difficult high notes, which are the core of the embarrassment when singing the song.

All 16 Real-Life Hockey Players & Media Pundits On Shoresy
Letterkenny spinoff Shoresy makes its hockey world feel authentic by featuring real-life professional hockey players and media pundits.
“Echo (Huna Edit)” by Aray, Huna, ft. Reprave: Shoresy is tempted once again to step away from Laura Mohr when he’s propositioned by Mason’s mom Jill, and this low-key electronic track plays over Shoresy choosing to leave Jill’s house and head to Laura Mohr’s. Shoresy reaffirms his intentions one more time to her, likely as a self-assurance, having come particularly close to sleeping with someone else as Laura continues to make him wait for “more sleepovers.”
“My Maria” by B.W. Stevenson: Jack very unsubtly serenades Maria Mercier at karaoke night with B.W. Stevenson’s “My Maria”, which was originally recorded by B.W. Stevenson in 1973. Country duo Brooks & Dunn famously covered the song in 1996, and it seems as though Jack’s version is based on that cover. The Bulldogs join him on stage as he sings to Maria, and it’s one of the purest feel-good moments of season 4.
“What I See In Me” by Conrad Taylor: Conrad Taylor’s “What I See In Me” picks up immediately after “My Maria” ends, and plays over a back-and-forth of Jack and Maria making eye-contact as she leaves the bar and heads to the subway. It picks up just as their eye contact breaks in one of the cleanest examples of the song matching the scene in season 4 of Shoresy.
Shoresy Season 4 Episode 6 Songs
“Go Where You’re Needed”
“Shining Bright” by Tseba ft. Tim Shiel: The upbeat dance song with some island vibes plays when Laura Mohr finally invites Shoresy over for a sleepover, and continues to play over episode 6’s title screen and Miig’s dance lessons for the Bulldogs and Lakers as they prepare for the Blueberry Festival Dance. The song’s upbeat tone directly matches the positive scenes that it plays over, as all the songs do.
“First Draft” by Mona San: This classic-style dance track begins just after Shoresy delivers his motivational speech to the Lakers in their last practice together, and continues over a brief montage of Shoresy’s journey with the Bulldogs so far.
“Worry Wart” by Sunbeam Sound Machine: This light and airy electronic track almost gives a vibe of relief, which is perfect considering it plays after Shoresy accepts Nat’s offer to coach the Bulldogs. It’s only playing for a few seconds, but it’s an important accent to Shoresy officially moving on in his life.
“Last” by Tourist and the Range: This perfect dance track slowly builds as it plays over the Lakers and Bulldogs headed to their respective Saturday night destinations: the Lakers to the Blueberry Festival Dance, and the Bulldogs to Weird Sudbury. It finally crescendoes when it’s revealed that the Bulldogs turned down Weird Sudbury to bring the NOSHO Cup to celebrate with the Lakers instead. It continues as the Dance goes into full swing and pays off Jack’s pursuit of Maria and all the core cast members of Shoresy season 4 dancing together.
“Stars (feat. Steve Winwood)” by BURNS: The closing credits play over a behind-the-scenes feature of the cast recording the final dance scene of episode 6. It’s a pure feel-good moment that acts as an exclamation point on season 4 of Shoresy, and the encore of this song is perfectly appropriate for that.
