Acclaimed and award-winning country artists Doc Walker, Jason McCoy, and Michelle Wright, are coming to North Bay in their first-ever co-headline tour, The Great Canadian Roadtrip.
They will appear at the Capitol Centre on October 19.
Kicking off in October and continuing into 2024, The Great Canadian Roadtrip Tour will be making stops across Canada.
Tickets will be on sale starting at 10 a.m. on June 16 and details will be available on each performer's website.
"Since forming in 1994, award-winning country duo Doc Walker, composed of Chris Thorsteinson and Dave Wasyliw, has become one of Canada’s most beloved country music acts," says a news release.
Over nearly three decades, the pair has won a JUNO Award, 14 Canadian Country Music Association Awards, and had 21 Top 10 Canadian country radio singles, eight #1 CMT videos, and millions of streams.
"Doc Walker’s unshakable creative partnership and drive to explore new musical approaches has remained since the 2001 release of their breakthrough album, Curve. The duo is excited to share their new music and classic hits with fans again as they prepare to return to the stage this fall," says the release.
"I’ve had the privilege of touring with some of the most iconic acts in country music over the years and I am so excited to continue that journey with the announcement of The Great Canadian Roadtrip Tour,” says Chris Thorsteinson of Doc Walker. “Michelle Wright and Jason Mcoy are true legends, and we are honoured to be part of such an amazing lineup,"
Two-time CCMA Male Vocalist of the Year award winner Jason McCoy is also eager to perform on The Great Canadian Roadtrip tour. McCoy is a 25-year veteran of the entertainment industry and frontman of one of the best-selling bands in Canadian country music history, The Road Hammers.
Since setting out at the age of 19 to follow his own path to stardom, McCoy has racked up multiple CCMA and CMA awards along the way in addition to a Gold-certified album and CMA Global Artist Award (Nashville CMA).
“This tour will be a non-stop hit after hit each night. I love Canada, I love country music, and I love touring with my friends, but most of all, I love the fans who are going to make this an epic Canadian Roadtrip!” says McCoy.
Also joining the tour's lineup is one of Canada’s most recognized and awarded female country singers, Michelle Wright.
In 1992 she became the first Canadian artist in the modern era of country music to have a Top 10 hit in America, a #1 video on CMT‐USA, and win a major US music industry award (the Academy of Country Music Top New Female Vocalist Award in 1992).
"I'm so excited to be touring across Canada with Doc Walker and Jason McCoy,” says Wright. It's going to be a wonderful night of music, and I can't wait to share the stage with my friends and bring this show to fans across the country!
