Sussex Fundy Fest – Here Comes Jason Benoit!

Krista had a chance to chat with Jason Benoit before his performance at Sussex Fundy Fest on the weekend. Jason was the winner of the 2023 MusicNL Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year and has had much success with four top 30 hits, a Top 10 (Gone Long Gone) and over 13 million streams.

We chatted about the success of his album Time Traveller, which was the 2024 East Coast Music Association Country Recording of the Year, his new EP (The Deadwood) and his new single “1000 Mile Grin”.

Jason is the opening act for Tim Hicks this weekend at Fundy Fest and is ready to bring the party to Sussex, NB!

Jason is in the top 16 of an online contest from Rolling Stone magazine called “America’s Next Top Hitmaker” – follow him on social media and cast your votes.

Krista and Jason have something in common – they are BOTH on the radio and love interviewing artists! He hosts his own radio show called “That’s Country” on a community station in Newfoundland.

  • Krista has worked for Country 94 since Jan 2015 and is currently your host for the LIVE ON THE DRIVE with Krista, Monday through Friday 3-6 pm. What does Krista love about country music? EVERYTHING! She loves interviewing artists like Dean Brody, Tim Hicks, Lindsay Ell, going to concerts and dancing in the control booth on King St.

    If you ask Krista her ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE thing, though, about country radio, the answer is the connection with you, the listener. The friendships made over the years with our listeners is second to none.
