I mean really there are many many terrific musicians out of Canada. Oftentimes we lose them to the US or European bandstands, but take your pick; pop, punk, rock, metal, electronic music, jazz, avantgarde styles of all sorts. Canada was culturally rich. It makes me very proud to know the history made by Canadians. But then, all I have to do is take a look around now, open the news up and see how far we've all fallen. Thank you Trudeau, please go away and never come back.

Ian Crichton is a monster player. I’m sure his name has been mentioned here before. Just enjoyed his performance. Inspiring licks. Great technique. Something key to all great players is his control and use of “silence”. Much respect Mr Crichton. Thank you for your contribution to the music world.

I don’t think Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) has been mentioned yet. Definitely one of my favourites.

He is Canadian, maybe some of you know of him. I did a search for his name but nothing that I seen came up. He use to live in my home town actually. Now lives in Kitchener now. He seems to have I the ability to cover many genres and has the chops and voice to do it. His name is Corey Heuvel and his channel is starting to grow quickly, (not viral but decent) pretty underrated in my opinion. He prefers to do his own thing and mainly on the acoustic, although I've seen him rip on the electric.. He does a busking livestream for 3hrs every Friday at 5pm EST. He is a humble guy, and hard working. He has a new album coming out very soon. Overall I'm totally impressed with this guy. I will post a few songs from his channel.

“It’s begun to rain” is a great piece of Franks versatility going from straight rock to blues rock to jazz rock! Vocals are great as well . Song builds really well. God Bless Frank Marino.

Rick Santers was great on those old tunes!

Rik Emmett hasn't been mentioned yet.

Glad, you mentioned Rik Emmett !!!!

What nobody mentioned Frank Marino !!!!

He's probably already been mentioned, but Steve Briggs is deserving of a mention. I had the pleasure of doing sound for Russell DeCarle last night and Steve was amazing. Tasteful, left space for others, and served the song, but when the song needed it, he could flat out play! Also a first rate human being.

Anyone mention Jimmy Bowskill yet? Brilliant guitarist, and he can sing too (do yourself a favour and don't go listen to what he was doing at 12 years old, kid could play then too).

And if we're including bass players, I'll throw my hat in the ring for Rich Brown
