Past Featured Performing Artist

Roland Corrigal’s life has been steeped in live country music from the beginning. It is no surprise that he upheld this tradition throughout his life playing with his family and various other bands. After receiving his first Saskatchewan Country Music Association award in 2016, Roland has performed at concerts and festivals across Canada and wrapped up his EP Small Town Life (produced by Rich McFarlane of Mosaic Music). He also released a radio single called “I Don’t Wanna Fight No More” that is getting airplay across the country and beyond. Along with another SCMA award win in 2017 for “Aboriginal Artist of the Year” he was nominated for “Emerging Artist” and “Album of the Year”. Recently, he has worked with Canadian Country Music Association award-winning producer Bart McKay on a new release called “Hot Summer Cool”.

Roland is no stranger to those who follow the music scene in La Ronge. He has played in a variety of local venues, including the Napatak Ramble, and is currently hosting an open Acoustic Jam night at a local pub. In addition to becoming widely known for his own music, Roland contributes in other ways.  He has judged the ‘Voices Of The North’ showcase auditions in Prince Albert, SK., for three consecutive years, and has mentored youth for the Northern Spirits showcase in Prince Albert, SK., for two consecutive years.  Our famous friend Roland has even been recognized in the Saskatchewan Legislature!  (November 5th, 2015.)
