John Landry Coming to Wingham

TORONTO, Nov 14, 2011 – JUNO nominated Canadian Country Recording Artist, John Landry will be performing in Wingham on Friday December 16th at the Wingham Heritage Theatre with his award-winning band South Mountain. Landry took a short break from music to fulfill a lifelong dream and joined the Canadian Air Force. Captain John Landry is currently station in Gander NL and is part of “The Outcasts” 103 Search & Rescue Squadron flying the CH-149 Cormorant helicopter on one of the busiest bases in Canada.

However, he has continued to write and record and recently release his fourth CD. The appropriatly titled CD “Changing Man” is a true reflection of John’s life over the past few years.

John Landry remarked, “I got married, started a family and joined the Canadian Air Force. I’d say things have been changing for me! My decision to join the Air Force did not happen overnight. It’s been a life long dream to fly for the military. I also have this constant desire to learn how to drive anything that moves! My band often laughed at how many different licenses I have and how half the time I’d be driving the tour bus while the driver we hired was asleep in the back, only because I wanted to drive.”

John Landry has enjoyed a successful music career with several top ten hits and videos. He is also a CCMA (Canadian Country Music Award) winner and has been nominated for several JUNOs.

John Landry commented, “My career in the military has given me the freedom to write and record for me and my fans, without the stress and worry of gaining industry support. Of course I would love to see industry and radio get behind it, but that would be an added bonus at this point. Overall I think the fans will really enjoy this record, and I really enjoyed getting back to co-writing with Rich Baker, the guy that helped me write a lot of the material on my first two records, like Bit By Bit.”
