Morna Anne Murray is a singer in pop, country, and adult contemporary music whose albums have sold over 55 million copies worldwide.
Anne Murray was born in 1945 in the small coal-mining town of Springhill. Her father was the town doctor. Anne studied piano for six years. At age 15, she began taking classical voice lessons.
Anne Murray was the first Canadian female solo singer to reach No. 1 on the US charts. She is also the first woman and the first Canadian to win “Album of the Year” at the 1984 Country Music Association Awards for her Gold-plus 1983 album A Little Good News.
The Anne Murray Centre is a wealth of information about the Nova Scotian singer from the namesake. You can see rows of platinum and gold albums and her many trophies.
This is a worthy stop, even without a super-fan in your group. Keep an eye out, as every year, there is a special VIP meet and greet with Anne Murray herself! However, it would help if you were quick because tickets sell out fast.
