There has been a LOT of Canadian musical talent over the years. Though this list is certainly not exhaustive, it represents a lot of my favorites. To make it manageable, I have separated it into bands and individuals so reminisce and enjoy!

These are some of my favorite Canadian bands, mostly from the past but a few are somewhat more current. How do YOU feel about them? I know the list is a little long but there are SO many to choose from, I really couldn't make it any shorter. | Enjoy a lot | Enjoy SOME of their material but not all | Don't really care for them | WHO ??? | |||||

These are some of my favorite Canadian individual music artists, mostly from the past but a few are somewhat more current. How do YOU feel about them? I know there are some real biggies I haven't included, but I'm really not a fan a JB or Celine. | Enjoy a lot | Enjoy SOME of their material but not all | Don't really care for them | WHO ??? | |||||

April Wine is a very well known Canadian rock band. They were formed in 1969 in Nova Scotia and though they they took a break between 1986 and 1992, they have actively touring since. They actually had a touring schedule set up for 2021! Did you know they were still together and touring? Yes
