Description

A member of the New Brunswick Country Hall of Fame and East Coast Music Award winner, Al Hooper has been entertaining audiences for over half a century and he's still going strong. Star of stage, radio, and television, he’s released over 50 albums and has recorded for Paragon, Dominion, Columbia, RCA and TWA records over the course of his near-60 year career. Born in Back Bay New Brunswick, Al spent the early years honing his music at halls, dances, and jamborees before moving to Toronto where he formed the Blue Diamond Showband. I got hip to Al Hooper via his signature song ’N.B to T.O’ and was eager to hear about his life and journey in country music.
