Juno Nominee Johnny Reid to Rock the Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games

Embracing his Scottish heritage and teenage years in Canada, award-winning country singer Johnny Reid will take the stage at the Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games on August 7th, 2008. This concert will launch the popular three-day Festival weekend, which runs from August 8th – August 10th.

Nashville-based Reid has been nominated for Country Recording of the Year for the 2008 Juno awards, set to air in April. He also received multiple Canadian Country Music awards in 2006 and 2007, including Male Artist of the Year. His most recent album, “Kicking Stones”, was recorded live with Mark Knopfler’s touring band. It was released in 2007 to numerous accolades. The single “Darlin’” was a top 5 smash and reached number 1 in the CMT Chevy Top 20. “Missin’ an Angel” and “You Still Own Me”, from the 2005 release “Born to Roll”, were also top hits.
