Hi Stevie, Krista, and all the ladies here on CDH,
Just saw Grace’s post about favorite guitarists as I sit here listening to the Guess Who. It got me thinking about the fabulous Canadian musicians. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Rush BTO, Leonard Cohen, Robbie Robertson ...
Would anyone care to share a favorite?
Alice
@aliceunderwire Although she went independent in 2007, I liked Katie B's voice when she was the lead singer on their first two albums for an industrial / pop band called Jakalope. She may be doing country now. Not sure.
Not a Diana Krall, but I liked her voice.
I should also add Jeff Healey. Saw him a few times around town. He did all of that while blind. Got to see him, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan (who died a few days later in a helicopter crash) in a concert in the Skydome. All three of them are gone now.
@aliceunderwire Always loved the Guess Who. Burton Cummings has one of my favorite voices and I love his performance on the song Undun.
Love Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and BTO too. I like current bands such as Arcade Fire, The New Pornographers and Broken Social Scene as well as Feist solo music.
I was a fan of the Canadian TV show Regenesis and the theme song "Anywhere but Here" by Behavior is really cool too.
@aliceunderwire A lot of greats ones but I can’t believe anyone hasn’t mentioned The Tragically Hip. God rest your soul Gord Downie.
There are too many to list, but Barenaked Ladies and Big Wreck come to mind.
Hi Megan,
Yes, there are many past and present.
Alice
I was introduced to Canadian music via and old and dear female friend. I use to stay with her in the middle of four week round world busies trips and would use her house and hospitality as a mid trip break.
She got me into all of these artists are more.
Diana Krall
Richard Samuels, (absolutely gifted songwriter, singer, pianist and guitarist)
Blue Rodeo
Susan Aglukark
Cowboy Junkies... ( I use to get home and then tell my then teenage daughters how "hip and trendy" I was cos I played the "junkies".)
18 years later I have no idea who is "trendy" now, but Still pla ya lot of the above Especially Ms Krall and Mr Samuels
Hi Alice! April Wine and Triumph are 2 that come to mind!! Oohwatanite! Hugs Pru
Rick Emmet from Triumph an amazing guitarist, David Wilcox seen him at least 10 times always a good party, Alex Lifeson, goes without saying, Neil Young, Randy Bachman, Kim Mitchell must be mentioned.
I had to think about this one somewhat, but the obvious one and my fave canadian musician is :
- Carly Rae Jepsen. I love her music, call me maybe is pure catchy tunes, and she has alot of amazing albums out.
- shania twain. Really like the fact that her music isn't pure country, but part country and pop which is an excellent mix.
- serena ryder. I listen to some of her songs, and I like them like Got Your Number.
Huggs Alice....
Two beauties!!!
Sarah McLachlan, one of my favourite artists ever....
....and of course Bryan Adams....Summer of 69, forever an anthem!!!!

Sum 41 has been one of my favorite bands for a while.. I was really into pop punk and metal, and they mix those genres pretty well
Hi Alice! Thank you for this! The more I think about it the more I come up with.... there really are a lot. Rush, BTO, and Triumph bring me back to the old days. I really was into Max Webster back in school as well. Anne Murray, Shania; and I have to respect Celines' voice too. Let's not forget Bob & Doug McKenzies Take Off song done with Geddy Lee 😅. You will notice I havent mentioned Bryan Adam's.....
Seriously though let's not forget someone I love - Gordon Lightfoot!! He has to be right up there!! Amazing artist 😎
Stevie
Omg. Thanks Heather! I had forgotten David Wilcox, what a great party dude. Gonna go spin that album right now 🙂.

Grace I did enjoy listening to Bryan Adams back in the day but sheesh, he was so overplayed in the bars that I got tired of hearing him! And every girl I in the planet I met back then wanted to listen to him! 😟
Hi Stevie,
I didn’t mention Bryan Adams either.
Gordon Lightfoot is a great choice. I think Grace would like Bob and Doug McKenzie’s humor. Anne Murray a great choice too! Such talent!
Alice
Hi Grace,
Sarah is a superb choice!
Alice
Hi Heather,
I remember being gifted a David Wilcox album back in the 70’s. I think he was considered a “New Age” Artist at the time.
