Profile of Country Generations, according to their website at www.countrygenerations.ca:

Atlantic Canada’s only country show-band,"Country Generations", hails from Nova Scotia. The core of the
group has been together since 1998. The concept, which meshes new and traditional country into one unique stage show, was the brainchild of Frank Spinney. Frank enlisted the help of his two sons Jason and Jamie, family uncle Mike Johnson, cousin Chris Leslie and family friend Nicole, to form Country Generations in 1998. Terry Salsman and Frank Dobbin, joined soon after but the show-band was not complete until Floyd Spicer and Keith Delong joined the CG family. The group’s name is derived not only from the music they perform but also the“generations” that you find on the stage. The group’s ages range from 22 – 63!

The group has recorded 3 CD’s in Nashville and have just released their 4th Nashville album. Their music has been played around the world. Their first album produced a #1 single in Australia on the Ison International Radio Network. "The Bottom Line" was # 1 for 14 straight weeks! Their album, The Greatest Show, placed 5 singles in the top 300, on the 2002 European Country Music Chart. The band has also released country gospel and Christmas CDs to much critical acclaim. In 2003 and 2004, CG was nominated by the Music Industry Association of Nova Scotia, as the top Country Artist/Group Of The Year. Their latest CD "Follow The Signs" released on February 13, 2005 is getting lots of spins in the USA.

Country Generations’ sound is truly "country." Their showmanship shines through in their live stage show.
Eight members in the group sing lead vocals and harmonies vocals at different intervals of their show. CG’s
musicianship is second to none as 15 different country instruments are used during their stage show with many members playing multiple instruments. A live CG show truly has something for the whole family.

Country Generations embarked on their first international tour in 2004, touring Australia in Sept. / Oct. 2004 with shows in Penrith, Sydney, Rozelle, Bellrose, Cobar and Nymagee. The tour was highlighted by Country Generations performances at the 2004 Nymagee Outback Music Festival.
