Saskatchewan is one of the Prairie Provinces of Canada. ==Regina== Regina was incorporated in 1883, and became the provincial capital in 1905. Early in its history, the city boasted numerous bands, including a brass band, Musical and Dramatic Society and a number of church choirs. Frank L. Laubach, a professional Scottish musician arrived in Regina in 1904, and was a prominent figure for eighteen years. During that time, he founded the Regina Philharmonic Society (1904), Saskatchewan Music Festival (1908, with F. W. Chisholm), Regina Orchestral Society (1908) and the Regina Operatic Society (1909). After Laubach's retirement in 1922, three choral and orchestra society groups exist: Regina Symphony Orchestra, Regina Male Voice Choir and Regina Choral Society. Only two years later, the three societies again merged to form the Regina Philharmonic Association. The Regina Symphony Orchestra later departed from that association, in 1926. Musicians from Regina include Edith Fowke, Helen Dahlstrom, Ghosts of Modern Man, Nina Dempsey, Norman Farrow, Barbara Franklin, Colin James, Audrey Johannesen, Muriel Kerr, Gary Kosloski, Peter Clements, June Kowalchuk, Owen Underhill, Gaelyne Gabora, Jack Semple, Rob Bryanton, Into Eternity, (Val Halla ), Rah Rah, Geronimo, The War Doves, Intergalactic Virgin, Tinsel Trees, Birds are Dinosaurs, Pnice, Def 3, Library Voices, LazerBlade, E Tea, Ron Scott, Brett Dolter, The Spooks, Beth Curry, Joel Fuller, Tyler Gilbert, John Dick, Dagan Harding, Ken Shields, Streetheart, and Paul Sloman from (A Horse Called Horse ).

J, Jadybug, QCM, Square Sound Round Body, DJ Handle(now Archie Cooper), and (A Horse Called Horse ). Earl Brown had the Soundaround label starting in the 1960s which featured many of the local country and ethnic bands recording in his basement studio. Mel West & The Meteors, and The Canadian Downbeats had a few singles on the Soundaround label, later picked up Canada-wide via Stan Klees' "Red Leaf" label. Mel & The Meteors would chart Canada wide with their tracks "Sad & Blue" and "Seventh Saint". Earl had later success with the Grand Coulee Jug Band, and sold a number of albums via TV infommercials in the '80s. Most current bands/artists produce CD's by themselves or with the aid of the Saskatchewan Recording Industry Association (SaskMusic). But an increasing number of artists have moved to posting their music on websites such as Myspace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music of Saskatchewan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
