On Friday, January 9th CBC Radio recorded the legendary Ian Tyson live in concert at Horizon Stage. CBC will be airing that concert on Radio 2’s Canada Live with host Jacqueline Janelle on February 12th at 8 p.m. Radio 2 can be found on your FM dial at 90.9.
Ian Tyson has long been one of Canada’s most respected singer-songwriters. A pioneer who began his career in the 60s, he was one of the first Canadians to break into the American popular music market. In the years that followed, he hosted his own TV show, recorded some of the best country/folk albums ever made and became a rodeo rider and successful rancher. His list of honours includes a Juno Award, five Canadian Country Music Awards and 13 Alberta Recording Industry Association Awards. The 75-year-old icon is a member of the Order of Canada, the Alberta Order of Excellence, the Juno Hall of Fame and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. Mr. Tyson has performed to 40 sold-out audiences at Horizon Stage in the past 18 years. He enjoys performing Up Close and Personal for Spruce Grove audiences which is why he has been coming back every second January since 2001.
Horizon Stage is thrilled to have formed this partnership with CBC Radio 2. Radio 2 has a coast-to-coast listenership of 1.2 million people. Being part of a Canada Live broadcast will increase our country’s knowledge and awareness of Horizon Stage and the City of Spruce Grove. Don’t miss the opportunity to listen to word-class singer and musician Ian Tyson, recorded live at Horizon Stage, on CBC Radio 2 on Thursday, February 12th at 8 p.m.
