Good Morning #Canada
We are at the end of our #CanadianCountryMusic journey across our awesome nation. Jason Benoit is a country music singer-songwriter from Fox Island River, in western #Newfoundland. In 2015, Benoit was nominated in the Rising Star category at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards, and he's released 3 albums over the past dozen years.

Our #PrinceEdwardIsland musical talent could be an entire family from Souris, but we will focus on Tim Chaisson. I started adding his music to playlists during COVID when I was looking for traditional tunes from down east. Perhaps Chaisson is more Folk or Roots versus Country, but it's my thread so I'll do what I like.

Today's #CanadianCountryMusic artist, from Springhill #NovaScotia, is arguably one of Canada’s most recognized and successful singers. Morna Anne Murray has sold more than 55 million albums worldwide in a musical style that is part country, part pop, and part adult contemporary. In the 80s, you couldn't watch a music variety show in North America without seeing a performance by Anne Murray.

Another new #CanadianCountryMusic discovery for me this week is Laurie LeBlanc from Shemogue, #NewBrunswick. Laurie started his career a bit late as he first had to overcome shyness so he could perform in public. His early music was in French, and he raised his country music profile in 2020 when he released his first album in English.

Better known as Terri Clark, she has released several platinum selling albums and multiple top ten hits. Clark is a member of the Grand Ole Opry (2004), inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame (2018) and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2023).

Just like everyone recognizes Toronto as the centre of Canada (read that on the internet, so...) #CanadianCountryMusic revolves around #Ontario. Jade Eagleson, from Bailieboro, Ontario, is one of Canada's newest stars with his 1st album released in 2020. He has achieved 5 number one Canada Country hits in the past 5 years.

Today, we're in #Nunavut - not literally but musically - and that means we are featuring "Johnny Cash" of the North. Charlie Panigoniak, born in Chesterfield Inlet, was an Inuk singer-songwriter and guitarist whose albums reflect on northern life and performed in his native Inuktitut language. In 2012, he was awarded the territory's highest honour, the Order of Nunavut.

Another great artist from Selkirk Manitoba, William Prince, Prince's father Edward, was also a musician and preacher, who recorded a number of albums, and Prince travelled with his father playing gigs throughout northern Manitoba. This is one of my favourite tunes of his.

"Breathless" by William Prince

Catie St. Germain, from Niverville #Manitoba, may be the newest artist in this #CanadianCountryMusic thread. In 2023, she received 6 nominations for Manitoba Country Music Awards which shouldn't be surprising because she's the granddaughter of Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame legend Ray St. Germain.

There are no country artists that stand out that are from the Northwest Territories. Please correct me if I've overlooked someone. But that doesn't mean the music scene is stagnant. This website documents great musicians from the area going back decades, covering traditional MΓ©tis fiddlers and native songwriters and performers.

Today is Colter Wall Day! When I started this series, I recognized I would struggle not to fan-girl over Wall's music. Born in Swift Current #Saskatchewan, Wall picked up a guitar in his early teens and credits Bob Dylan for influencing his songwriting. About 6 years ago, some algorithm suggested "Kate McKannon" and I've been a fan ever since.

@paulbusch One of my all time favourite Canadian bands, it's been many years since the Good Brothers were topping the #CanadianCountryMusic charts but their music has stood the test of time. How many of us still know all the words to most of these songs?

Today's #CanadianCountryMusic artist is from the #Yukon, and it's not Garth Brooks (wrong Yukon). I'm outside my guidelines this morning because Hank Karr was actually born in Saskatchewan, but he went for a two week trip to Whitehorse and stayed for 50 years. He has a huge following in the territory, known locally as "HankHeads," and Yukoners have embraced him as their adopted son.

I overslept, and coffee is starting to kick in. We're moving to #Alberta in our #CanadianCountryMusic series. Yesterday, Corb Lund was an excellent addition to the series (thanks @ClintonAnderson). Another would be Carolyn Dawn Johnson from Grande Prairie. She grew up on a farm near Deadwood - about as country as you can get - before making her way to Nashville and quick success with her debut album.

Today, our featured artist is from #BritishColumbia - Dean Brody from Smithers B.C. He started working in a sawmill before making a few trips to Nashville in search of a music career. In 2010, he was named Male Artist of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association.

I'm starting a new series this week highlighting #CanadianCountryMusic. Each day, we'll feature one or two artists from each province with a bio and some samples of their music. Feel free to jump in with your old favourites or new discoveries. I'll post the series as a thread to make it easier to review or search. To start, here are 100 Canadian Country Artists introduced in 11 minutes.
