Concert Shows
The list is long. To help shorten it, let’s just say that over the years, in his home
region alone, Wayne has performed at just about every festival and fair within a
hundred miles of Ottawa with scores of performances as the featured artist.
For seven years running, he was the host and a featured performer for the Canada
Day celebrations on Parliament Hill where he entertained crowds in excess of ninety
thousand people.
He’s played intimate, private audiences at the Prime Minister’s residence and for the
Governor General at Rideau Hall; he’s performed at CFL and NHL games, and is
often hired as Master of Ceremonies for corporate and commercial functions.
The list that follows is an abbreviated one; however, it serves to give one a sense of
where Wayne’s been.
