New Class Named To Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame

June 21, 2011/by Sarah Skates

Michelle Wright


Michelle Wright and Bill Langstroth will be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. Recognized for her contributions to Canada’s country music landscape, Wright is this year’s Artist inductee. Langstroth, the host of one of Canada’s first talent showcases, “Singalong Jubilee,” will have his achievements in television production celebrated in the Industry Builder category.
The Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductions will take place during a private event to be held during Country Music Week, which runs Sept. 9-12, 2011, in Hamilton, Ontario. The week culminates in the live broadcast of the Canadian Country Music Awards, on Mon., Sept. 12, 2011.
During her 25-year career, Wright became the first Canadian artist in the modern era of country to have a Top Ten hit in America (“Take It Like A Man,” 1992). She has sold almost two million albums in North America.
“What a tremendous honour. I deeply appreciate this recognition and am so very proud to have had the opportunity to represent Canada across the globe through my music,” said Wright of her upcoming induction. “My thanks go out to the CCMA along with my fans, industry friends and outstanding team – a team that includes my manager Brian Ferriman and my husband Marco.”
Spending his youth in Montreal, Langstroth landed his first gig in Halifax as a producer at CBC. Working alongside notable musician Don Messer, Langstroth quickly climbed the ladder. He grew the Don Messer show to a nationally broadcasted program and in the years following hosted, “Singalong Jubilee.” Langstroth is the former husband of Canadian icon Anne Murray.
“I am honoured and delighted by my induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame,” said Langstroth. “To be recognized for my years in the industry by the CCMA as an industry Builder is a distinction that I am proud to celebrate alongside this year’s artist inductee, Michelle Wright.”
