The Legend

Metro came to be in the late 60’s. It started with a few shows at conventions, sportsman’s dinners and trade shows.  By the early 70’s Metro had started doing TV ads for various local businesses and then by chance in a radio station studio, recorded The 11 days from Christmas.  The calls flooded the radio stations that had a taped copy of the song.  After some investigation it was decided to do a complete album of Christmas classics.  Sales exceeded all projections.  The following year, with distribution improvements, the albums sales rocketed past the GOLD RECORD status [that means more than 50,000 were sold].

Metro has traveled from Victoria on the West coast to Northern Manitoba. He has appeared on National TV and various fund raising charity events. In the late 70’s, Metro was asked to be a part of the Canadian Armed Forces Christmas show that appeared  in Edmonton, Germany, Cypress, Israel and Egypt. This  6 week tour was part of the Canadian Peace keeping contingent in Europe and the United Nations.  Upon returning to Canada, Metro started working on material for the Metro Goes Country Album.  It was released later that year and sales of this album exceeded all expectations and projections as well.
