But before looking at the next great artists coming out of Canada, I’d like to give a run down of my Top 10 Canadian musical acts of all time (including bands made up primarily of Canadians).

During her performance, she played “Secret Heart” from his self-titled album, which also was on her sophomore release Let it Die. Sexsmith's new album... read more
