Canyon concluded a seven-week, countrywide tour at the Yarmouth
Mariners Centre for a crowd of 1200 on Friday, Oct. 27.
Canyon
was awarded Male Artist of the Year and Single of the Year (Somebody
Wrote Love) at the Canadian Country Music Awards in September.
The
awards are the latest of many for the entertainer, who was raised
in
Pictou County.
In
the spring of 2006, Canyon had the opportunity to accompany
Canada's
Foreign Affairs, Peter McKay, on a trip to Kandahar in Afghanistan
where he
was able to meet with and perform for Canadian troops.
Canyon's
next stop after Yarmouth was a Meet & Greet in Greenwood
for the
opening of a Canadian Tire Store from noon to 2 p.m.
