Thanks to listener April Nechvatel, we now know that June 7 is Julie Doiron Day in tiny Bruno, Saskatchewan (population 600). The Juno Award winning artist from Sackville, NB was in Bruno Sunday night to play a sold-out show at All Citizens, the local artists centre, run by Serena McCarroll and Tyler Brett.
Julie was presented a bench named in her honour by Tyler and the Mayor of Bruno. The Mayor's husband Gilbert, an accordionist, also served as the opening act for Julie.
Watch the video of the bench unveiling here.
