Made in Manitoba

Jordan St. Cyr says he's ready to get back to performing in front of a live audience, and he's found a unique way to do it.

St. Cyr has recently enjoyed success not only in Canada but also in the U.S. with his new single 'Fires.' The hit song has seen the Niverville, Man., native appear on Billboard's Christian AC New and Active chart. The chart follows the latest songs to be picked up by radio stations across the U.S. and St. Cyr saw his name on the list for a few weeks surrounded by others such as Austin French, Cochren & Co., and Rebecca St. James.

A Winnipeg Spiritual Health Practitioner (AKA Chaplain) has recently written a moving song about people who die in a hospital bed alone. 

Gord Johnson is familiar with seeing people pass away, but it takes a new toll when anyone dies without someone nearby. 

The song "Eleanor May" was birthed from this idea, and in light of the pandemic and people not being able to visit their loved ones in the hospital, it is more relevant than ever. 

"Last fall I just got this line in my head and it came out as the first chorus," says Johnson.
