Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> We are at the end of our <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> journey across our awesome nation. Jason Benoit is a country music singer-songwriter from Fox Island River, in western <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Newfoundland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Newfoundland</a>. 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.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Benoit#:~:text=Jason%20Benoit%20is%20a%20country,Island%20River%2C%20in%20western%20Newfoundland" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Benoit#:~:text=Jason%20Benoit%20is%20a%20country,Island%20River%2C%20in%20western%20Newfoundland</a>.

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> Our <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/PrinceEdwardIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PrinceEdwardIsland</a> 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.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Chaisson" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Chaisson</a>

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> Today's <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> artist, from Springhill <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NovaScotia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NovaScotia</a>, 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. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/anne-murray-emc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/anne-murray-emc</a>

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.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://laurieleblanc.com/en/laurie/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://laurieleblanc.com/en/laurie/</a>

Better known as Terri Clark, she has released several platinum selling albums and multiple top ten hits.

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> Just like everyone recognizes Toronto as the centre of Canada (read that on the internet, so...) <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> revolves around <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ontario</a>. Jade Eagleson, from Bailieboro, Ontario, is one of Canada's newest stars with his 1st album released in 2020.

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> Today, we're in <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Nunavut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nunavut</a> - 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.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> #<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/charlie-panigoniak-emc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/charlie-panigoniak-emc</a>

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦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 <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/yPGvW8XTzps?si=anfIUpvfg6mTQfRY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/yPGvW8XTzps?si=anfIUpvfg6mTQfRY</a>

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> Catie St. Germain, from Niverville <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Manitoba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Manitoba</a>, may be the newest artist in this <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> 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.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://www.catiestgermain.com/catiestgermainbio" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.catiestgermain.com/catiestgermainbio</a>

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> 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.

Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> 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 <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Saskatchewan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Saskatchewan</a>, 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. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianCountryMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianCountryMusic</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colter_Wall" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colter_Wall</a>

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.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadaIsAwesome</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadianArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianArtist</a> <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1084424/episodes/12174459-026-the-life-and-times-of-hank-karr-yukon-s-true-north-balladeer" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.buzzsprout.com/1084424/episodes/12174459-026-the-life-and-times-of-hank-karr-yukon-s-true-north-balladeer</a>
