Canadian country music legend and multiple Juno Award winner George Canyon announced Monday he will be embarking on a national Canadian tour with hit-makers Doc Walker and Charlie Major. Newcomer Manny Blu will also be performing during the tour.
The ‘Hit After Hit’ cross-country tour will begin April 18 in Camrose, Alb., and wrap in Barrie, Ont., on May 25th, making stops in more than 30 towns and cities along the way. Estevan will be their 21st stop.
The Estevan concert will take place at Affinity Place on May 11. Tickets will become available on March 8.
There will be just five concerts played in Saskatchewan as part of this tour.
Hot off the heels of his 2018 release 鶹ýAVside of Heaven, George’s new single Out Of This Town from his forthcoming EP produced by Scott Cooke, was released to all digital platforms on Feb. 22nd and hits radio airwaves March 8.
Canyon rose to become one of Canada’s top country music stars in the early 2000’s and has won countless accolades and awards, including Juno Awards, Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) and East Coast Music Awards, to name a few. He has been inducted into the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame, recorded 12 albums and was recently presented a certified Platinum Award for his debut album One Good Friend. With country hits like Just Like You, I Believe in Angels, Drinkin’ Thinkin’, Daughters of the Sun, I Got This, I Want You To Live, Slow Dance and many more, he is also a humanitarian, strong supporter of the military and, most important, a father and husband.
With over 20 Top 10 singles, Doc Walker is one of the most recognized Canadian country acts of the past two decades. The group has received multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, including fans' choice, group or duo of the year, Country Music Television video of the year, single of the year and country music program or special of the year. In addition, Doc Walker has been nominated for several Juno Awards for country album of the year, including a win in 2009 for the album Beautiful Life.
Charlie Major is a true Canadian legend. He has sold nearly half a million records in Canada alone, and has been the recipient of three Juno Awards and seven CCMA Awards. Rising to the forefront of the Canadian music scene in the early to mid-90s, Major holds the distinction of having six consecutive №1 hits (every single released) off his debut album prior to the inception of BDS.
Canada's Manny Blu made his debut with the release of his first single X on my Heart earlier this year. Currently preparing to release his premiere EP Leave It Like It Is in summer 2019, Manny is eagerly awaiting the chance to share his new music with the world.
