Born October, 1947 in the nation’s capital, Wayne Victor Rostad had BIG musical dreams on his mind. At 16, he moved from the classroom to the workforce and tried his hand at multiple jobs before beginning his career in show business at the age of 20 as a DJ at CJET in Smith Falls, Ontario. Stops at CKWS-TV in Kingston, CKBY radio in Ottawa and CJCN radio in Grand Falls, Newfoundland followed.

In 1970, Wayne hit the road in his dad’s borrowed 1964 white Cadillac as the front man for The Honey West Show. His writing and recording talents have earned him several Juno nominations; from his first charted single, \u2018November Rain\u2019 in 1972, to his wildly popular, \u2018Christmas in the Valley\u2019 albums, Wayne Rostad is an all-Canadian entertainer. Rostad established his own Stag Creek Records label in 1979, releasing his acclaimed, \u2018Writer of Songs\u2019 album, plus several follow-up collections. In 1979, he also established the long-running, Wayne Rostad Gatineau Clog event, which for many years was the top outdoor country music festival in Eastern Canada. At the time, Rostad\u2019s Country Showplace was also a popular live entertainment venue in the nation\u2019s capital.

\n<\/p>\n

In the 1980s, the CBC recruited Wayne to tell Canada’s stories as host of \u201cOn The Road Again\u201d. The unique show with the unique host ran for 20 years. In 1996, Wayne wrote about life on the road in his book, ‘On the Road Again with Wayne Rostad’ and it quickly became a Canadian best seller.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
