Johnny Reid

John Kirkland Reid (born August 21, 1973) is a Scottish-Canadian country music artist.

His father, a diesel mechanic, wanted to give Reid and his brother opportunities he did not think they would have in Scotland.

Reid went on to attend Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, where he met his wife (and was a kicker on the varsity football team).

[3] He was nominated for the 2008 Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year for Kicking Stones.

He also performed at the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill on July 1, 2010, which the Queen and Prince Philip attended.

Reid's debut album, Another Day, Another Dime, was released in 1997 on JCD Records.

The lead-off and debut single, "Given Up on Me", was a minor hit on the RPM Country Tracks chart.

The album's third and final single, "She Don't Wanna Hear", just missed the Top 40 of the country chart, peaking at No. 41.

Born to Roll was released on March 15, 2005, via Open Road Recordings, and peaked at No.

Reid's second live DVD, Heart & Soul was released on March 29, 2011, in Canada.

The album features Canadian guest artists Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Serena Ryder.

[5] Reid's first studio album for Universal Music Canada, What Love Is All About, was released on November 13, 2015.

In 2016, Reid first began working on a musical that was inspired by the real-life story of his grandmother, Maggie.

In 2024, Maggie premiered in the United States where it played at the Goodspeed Opera House between August 23 and October 20, 2024.
