In Remembrance of Brian Bergquist
In Remembrance of Brian Bergquist
The Manitoba Country Music community lost a great songwriter and friend with the passing of Brian Bergquist on May 7th 2013. Brian’s love of Western music led him in 2012 to “Bring Bob Nolan Back to Winnipeg” along with the Sons of the Pioneers.
Brian Bergquist, Western poet and songwriter (born Winnipeg, Feb. 16, 1948), fell in love with Shakespeare, Robert Service, and the word herdin' of Bob Nolan in high school. Brian pursued a career in broadcasting for over 33 years. It was upon finishing his career in Whitehorse, Yukon, that he got closer to the works of Robert Service and got serious in his writing, producing his first book of poetry and two original albums of country songs.
About 6 years ago, he attended his first Cowboy Gathering in Brandon, Manitoba, and got to share some of his Yukon material. It went over well...he had found a home. He managed to get a copy of his last CD, COWBOY COTERIE, to the Sons of the Pioneers about a year ago and they encouraged him to continue in that vein.
