Pony Party: More Canadian Music

I thought I would add two others to my Canadian music you might not have heard of who I happen to like.

The first is a band called Blue Rodeo, they have a bit of a country edge and get occasionally play in the US on CMT. They aren’t quite as big as the Tragically Hip but they aren’t starving artists, they make a good living selling a lot of CDs mainly in Canada.

The next is a wonderful jazz/pop singer named Molly Johnson. For some reason I thought NKP might like her based on what I have heard from her lovely audioblog offerings.

You will realize that the third one is actually a commercial promoting tourism in Ontario, the province I am from. It is kinda sweet and it made me homesick.

Hope you enjoyed meeting a few more of my favorite Canadian artists. Remember don’t rec pony party, hang out chit chat, and then go read the excellent offerings on our recent and rec’d list.

    Saw them perform a year+ ago @The Grand (opened for James McMurtry and the Heartless Bastards).

    I wish them the best–lots of young neighborly Canadian Maritime province talent, waiting to mature.
