Celebrating a long lineage of a very musically inclined family, the third-generation singer grew up in an award-winning studio where she was able to hone her craft of song writing. Penning such fan favourites as ‘Carryin' Coal’ and ‘Coming Home To You (ft. Buddy Miller)’, her new music expands on her talent and unique vocals to reveal tracks like ‘Who Gets The Church’ and ‘Leavin’ Her’, which was released worldwide June 8th.
Tracey Brown
Tracey Brown is fondly remembered as a member of the Family Brown, Canada's most awarded country band. For 22 years the band released 17 albums on MCA and RCA records, had a nationally syndicated show, "Family Brown Country" for 13 seasons and toured extensively in Canada and parts of Europe. The band consisted of father, Papa Joe Brown, brother Barry and sister Lawanda. In the 90's, she continued recording with Barry Brown and husband, Randall Prescott, under the name of Prescott-Brown releasing two CD's with Sony Canada. Tracey also released two solo CD's.
She has been involved with the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train program for 18 years as a performer and co-musical producer.
Tyson Venegas
Tyson Venegas is a 13-year-old singer and entertainer from Vancouver, BC. His remarkable voice and energy has quickly earned positive reinforcement from artists ranging from Bobby McFerrin and Michael Buble to his hero Stevie Wonder. This past April, he was a featured performer on NBC’s Little Big Shots hosted by Steve Harvey.
Committed to making a difference, Tyson often lends his voice to noteworthy causes such as WeDay, MusicCounts and Music Cares and the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train.
All events are free. We just ask event attendees to bring money or a heart-healthy donation for their local food bank.
****WHAT TO DONATE****
CP is also encouraging fans of the train to donate heart-healthy food, as everyone should have access to healthy, nutritious food, regardless of circumstances. This supports the mission of CP Has Heart, a program dedicated to improving the heart health of men, women and children in North America. To date, this program has raised over C$15 million for cardiac care and research.
