Juno Songwriters’ Circle a once-in-a-lifetime experience

Article content

The Juno Songwriters’ Circle should be considered one of the top music events in Canada to put on the calendar. Why?

Because hearing the people who put the words and music together talking honestly about how they got there in the end is absolutely fascinating. It’s also wildly diverse and that means almost everyone can get a taste of their preferred genre and also get blown away by the talent that can be assembled on stage.

Michael Bublé bubbles with pride

Article content

Michael Bublé is known for having a quick wit. But in a pre-awards press conference at Rogers Arena on Friday morning, the Burnaby crooner got serious about Canadian pride.

Article content

Asked whether this year’s awards are somehow more important due to the political tensions between Canada and the United States, he stressed the importance of art in bridging borders and how important the country’s diverse and talented artists are to defining our national identity and reinforcing sovereignty.

“I’m so happy that I’m a singer and my job is not to be political, but to brighten people’s lives with music and, hopefully, humour to infuse it with a little more love than I got here with,” said Bublé. “But I understand, because I am one of those Canadians who is a little stressed and our sovereignty means everything to me. Right now it a great time to focus on why we are so special, so unique and why we are just so damn lovable.”
