Two Canadian country crooners unite for a holiday show
GUELPH, ON November 5, 2025 — Cherished Canadian country stars George Canyon and Aaron Pritchett are bringing their limited-run “A Coast-to-Coast Cowboy Christmas” show to Guelph as part of River Run Centre’s Canadian Country Series. Fans can expect a mix of the musical cowboys’ chart-topping songs alongside timeless holiday classics. The celebrated duo take River Run’s Main Stage on Friday, November 28 at 8 p.m.
These two musicians have collaborated before — in 2013, George Canyon released a holiday track called “Home for Christmas,” which featured Aaron Pritchett. Now, with their shared love of country music and Christmas, the duo reunites for this holiday tour.
As two of Canada’s hottest country music stars, both multi-award-winning with chart-topping hits, Canyon and Pritchett have been making music and performing since the early 2000s and are well known for their energetic and enthusiastic live shows.
Canyon has won two JUNO Awards for Country Recording of the Year (2005 and 2007) and several Canadian Country Music Association Awards (CCMA Awards) (2004-2006). He has released a dozen albums with beloved singles such as “Just Like You,” “Daughters of the Sun,” “Slow Dance,” and many more.
Pritchett is at once a classic country gentleman and a dynamic, raucous performer. His hit singles range from party pleasers like “Hold My Beer” and “Worth a Shot” to heartfelt ballads such as “Warm Safe Place” and “Better When I Do.” He has been nominated for three JUNOs (2007, 2009, 2017) and has earned many wins and nominations for CCMA Awards.
For this show, the two country artists will perform a variety of original fan favourites from the past couple decades as well as beloved holiday classics. The 35-date holiday tour is presented Children Believe across Canada, taking the duo from Canyon’s home province of Nova Scotia to Pritchett’s home of British Columbia. The stop in Guelph is supported by River Run’s Season Sponsor, Richardson Wealth, as well as funding from the Government of Canada.
