Tonight’s featured artist has had quite a successful musical career. And the story goes he originally picked up a camera to take his own album covers. Then in 1999 he released a coffee table book containing of pictures of Female Canadian artists to benefit breast cancer.  Any guesses who our photographer/musician might be?

The book was titled ‘Made in Canada’ and contained pictures of: Sara McLachlan, Neve Campbell, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, and Shania Twain to name a few...and the award winning photographer is Bryan Adams. Bryan lost a friend Donna to breast cancer many years ago and he has published several photo books around the globe to benefit different cancer societies. He says that taking on projects so  completely different from his music makes him appreciate it more when he gets to play.

Here is the video for tonight's featured song.

Bryan has won awards for his fashion photography.
