Nineteen-year-old North Bay native Simon Gagné has entered the contest which is an annual search for Canada’s most talented singers and song-writers. “I discovered my love of playing through the video game Guitar Hero, when I was three years old,” says Gagné. I haven’t gone a single day without playing for at least an hour since.”For the contest, Gagné wrote a folk-acoustic song called Lucille and Dan. “I’m not super technically sound in any of the other instruments but I base everything off my knowledge of the guitar,” says Gagné. Gagné says he’s appreciative of the support he has been getting so far, including a Facebook post from Chippewa Secondary School which encourages people in North Bay to vote for him online.
