Joey Gregorash is a musician from Winnipeg, Manitoba who became the first solo Manitoba act to win a Juno Award in 1972 for Outstanding Performance-Male. He started his career with local Winnipeg band the Mongrels. In the early 1970s, besides the Juno Award, Joey recorded a number of singles for Polydor Records and a string of Canadian hit singles, such as "Jodie" and his cover of Neil Young's "Down by the River." <br />In 1987, after years of inactivity, he returned to the charts with "Together (The New Wedding Song)" which to this day is a popular song at weddings. <br />Gregorash hosted "S'kiddle Bits," a noon hour children's variety television show on CKY-TV. It ran through the late-1980s and early-1990s and featured in-studio and on-location musical performances and guests from around Manitoba. <br /> <br />Credits <br />Bass, Vocals [Harmony] – Dick Hedlund <br />Drums, Percussion [Congos] – Dick Bortolucci <br />Guitar [Lead] – Bob Sabellico, Bobby Manuel <br />Guitar [Rhythm], Vocals [Harmony] – Ron Risko* <br />Keyboards – Marvelle Thomas <br />Vocals [Lead And Harmony] – Joey Gregorash <br /> <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Gregorash
