Brad Johner brings his down-home country music to Spruce Grove on November 9th
Winner of the 2007 Canadian Country Music Association Award for Male Artist of the year, Brad Johner is still just a down-home country boy from the Saskatchewan prairies. This proud father and family man puts his heart, soul and voice into songs that both he and his audience can relate to. Join this twelve-year veteran of the music industry at Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 9th.
One half of the popular Johner Brother’s duo in the 1990s, Brad’s solo career since 2003 has also been stellar. With four well-received CD’s, two top ten songs and nine videos, he continually sets the bar for excellence. His first solo album, Free, garnered him a 2003 Western Canadian Music Award for "Outstanding Country Album", 2003 CCMA nominations for "Album of the Year" and "SOCAN Song of the Year", and a win at the 2004 Canadian Independent Music Awards for "Favourite Country Artist/Group". He was also recognized with Juno and CCMA nominations in 2004.
The past years have been hectic ones for Brad. Besides completing his second album, Summertime Road, a Christmas CD, and a Classics CD, he has performed at several high-profile events including the Queen's Gala and The Canada Summer Games. He has also been logging many hours touring across the country from Victoria to Prince Edward Island. Married to his high school sweetheart since 1992, when he’s not on the road, Brad keeps himself busy raising his five young sons.
Opening for Brad in Spruce Grove will be the Edmonton-based, mother-daughter duo, Myrol. Heralding from generations of Canadian prairie farmers and ranchers, Myrol has a warm and honest sound that touches people’s hearts. Together they sing about the joys and hardships that life can throw one’s way, reflecting the experiences of life lived on the Canadian plains. Mother Joanne and daughter Haley’s thoughtfully-crafted songs are laced with an earthy truth and nitty-gritty humanness.
