| With his smooth, easy style, Evan Kemp became known as "the Golden Voice of the Golden West" and was king of the west coast cowboys when country music was still western. Not only did he play to sold out dance halls across western Canada but he hosted many radio and TV shows. "Cross Canada Barn Dance" and "Circle 7 Ranch" aired on national television in the late 60's and early 70's and featured such well known guests as Hank Snow and Johnny Cash.. Appearances on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashvile and the Don Ho show in Hawaii brought attention well beyond the boundaries of Canada. Recognized by the BC Hall of Fame, his name is enshrined in a star on Vancouver's "Entertainment Walk of Fame". During his career Evan Kemp has made many recordings. Now available on CD with todays technology: THE BEST OF EVAN KEMP, Western Swing and Country Classics, GOD IS LOVE, Inspiration Favourites & EVAN KEMP CLASSICS featuring popular tunes, Nicola Valley and Molly Malone. |
