After Selling Out his September
28 Concert Horizon Stage Adds a Second Show on September 29
It only took two
weeks for all 300 seats at George Canyon’s Horizon Stage concert on Saturday,
September 28 to sell. Now the theatre is pleased to announce that the popular
and personable country music singer has agreed to add a second show for eager
fans. Tickets are now on sale for his Spruce Grove concert on Sunday, September
29 at 7:30 p.m.
With a voice as rich and robust as a strong cup of
coffee, George Canyon is a Canadian country music treasure. Though he can melt
hearts with just a tip of his hat, Canyon sings with the kind of integrity and
dedication that makes him a hero to his fans on and off the stage. So much so,
that he was recognized for his philanthropic work in support of the Canadian
troops in 2008 by being appointed Honorary Colonel for the Canadian Air Force
at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. He is also a tireless advocate for
juvenile diabetes awareness and research and
most recently he has been working hard both on the ground in High River,
and on stage, cleaning up and raising funds for southern Alberta flood relief.
In addition to his singing career, Canyon has
performed as an actor in movies and television where he had re-occurring roles
on both the Trailer Park Boys and Heartland. But it’s his amazing ability to
pen both poignant ballads and night-on-the-town tunes that has won him
countless Junos, East Coast Music Awards, and Canadian Country Music Awards.
With hits like “Just Like You”, “In Your Arms Again”, “My Name”, and “I Believe
In Angels”, it’s easy to see why he was recently recognized as the most played
Canadian artist on Canadian country radio. George is currently in the running
for the CCMA Fan’s Choice of the Year Award and was recently added to their
awards night artist performance list.
When George Canyon is performing onstage, he is most
at home. He has the entire audience in the palm of his hand and you just can’t
help but want to be a part of his unique family. He is respected, well-loved
and one of the most successful entertainers in Canada today. So shine up your
boots and get ready to enjoy country music at its finest!
