11 MP3 Songs
COUNTRY: Modern Country, FOLK: Traditional Folk
Details:
Nova Scotia''s George Canyon has returned home. After living in Alberta for 14 years, the tried and true Maritimer has gone back to his roots and his native soil. Canyon, whose first three singles from his self-titled debut album, "Her Everything," "Enough Said" and "Way Too Much," all charted in the Top 10 on CMT in Canada, is hard at work on his new album. Canyon is also the only Canadian to make it into the Top 20 for 2004''s Nashville Star, The USA Network/CMT television show.
With his own unique blend of Folk, Roots and Country, Canyon has earned top-notch reviews and a dedicated fan-base. Among his most memorable live performances, was gracing the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with Chris Ledoux and playing the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta, performing prior to such luminaries as Loretta Lynn and Brooks and Dunn.
Canyon, who is co-owner of Riverfront Studios in New Glasgow, NS, has spent the past two years writing and co-writing songs with a number of different writers from Canada and abroad, creating some truly timeless pieces for his new album. The first single, "Good Day to Ride," written with Alberta''s Dean McWhinnie, was released to radio across Canada in January 2004 to great response.
"I''ve finally figured out who I am as an artist," says Canyon of the new album. "I''m returning to my roots, both in coming home to Nova Scotia and in my music, which has a much stronger traditional sound now. I think it captures who I am so much more than my first album."
Finally back home in the place where he feels he truly belongs, Canyon hopes to continue in the tradition of passionate, insightful Country songwriting that has been a mainstay of Canada''s East Coast.
