Winnipeg’s Elvis is getting the call to the hall.
Local country music legend Ray St. Germain is one of 10 artists to be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Honour by the Canadian Country Music Association in September.
St. Germain was born in 1940 and has been performing since he was a teenager, releasing his first two singles — She’s a Square and If You Don’t Mean It — in 1958. He has cut more than a dozen albums and has been a regular on television and radio, hosting shows like Big Sky Country and Music Hootenanny. He currently hosts Métis Hour X2 on NCI-FM Saturday mornings, Rhythms of the Métis on APTN and does voice work for children’s program Tipi Tales.
In 2005 his autobiography, I Wanted to Be Elvis, So What Am I Doing in Moose Jaw?, was published.
He continues to perform semi-regularly in Winnipeg and will play a free Aboriginal Day show at McPhillips Street Station Casino on June 21.
St. Germain will be inducted to the Hall of Honour during Canadian Country Music Week in Edmonton alongside Donna and Leroy Anderson, Willie P. Bennett, Marie Bottrell, Eddie Eastman, Don Harron, Fred McKenna, Wayne Rostad, Joyce Smith and Hal and Ginger Willis.
