Yesterday marked 19 years for me at Country 94!
Even somewhat as cliche as this may sound–I’ll say it anyway–it really doesn’t seem all that long ago! That is until I hear a song I forgot about from maybe 2002-2003 or something like that.
Wow! That was ages ago!
So, when did it all start for me here in Saint John?
It was February 15, 2002. I was going on 32 with no grey hairs (okay, maybe two!), just arriving from my previous job at a then AM station in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. It was my first time back in Saint John, I believe, since the 1980’s, so I had to get reacquainted with lay of the land–which took some getting used to.

If you like catchy country and deliciously layered harmonies sprinkled with a healthy dose of charisma, you will love the Dirt Road Angels! Six-time ACMA Group of the Year nominees, the Dirt Road Angels have released 11 singles to Canadian Country Radio from three albums collectively.
Danita Lynn, Dahlia Wakefield, Shila Marie and Karen Claypool came together in 2013 and have come a long way in their 7 years together.  From their very first single, upbeat “Back Around The Mountain” along with their fun summer single “Extra Dirty”, to their most recent release âSeven Bridges Roadâ, their three albums display intricate harmonies, heartwarming melodies and relatable lyrics.

Leanne Pearson was fed up with 2020.
The Winnipeg country-rocker has seen the COVID-19 pandemic pull her life and career over to the side of the road.
Like so many other people in 2020, Pearson had become separated from loved ones. For months, she was in Winnipeg, staying with her folks and writing songs, while her fiancé, Jordan Riley, was at their home in Nashville, a closed border separating the two.
So she made a daring decision. She boarded a flight to Music City, one she’s taken many times, and shifted her relationship, and her music, back into high gear.
