Anne Murray News

Like ice hockey, maple syrup and Anne Murray, Paul Brandt is rapidly becoming a Canadian icon.

Cars lined up on the road in front of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Sackville, N.B. where Paul Langsroth's funeral was held.

K.d. lang brought the Juno audience to their feet Sunday with a rousing speech that encouraged Canadians to "let your freak flags fly." The singer was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame by Canuck icon Anne Murray, who recalled her first impression of lang stomping around the stage in cowboy boots.

George Green and Elinore Frederickson were pleased to have Cape Breton singer Rita MacNeil perform in Whitehorse in 2009.

Rita MacNeil, a singer-songwriter from small-town Canada whose powerful voice explored genres from country, to folk, to gospel, died Tuesday night following complications from surgery.
