Music News Digest: Winnipeg Street Named for Prolific Rocker Brent Fitz, Calgary's YYC Awards 2026 Nominees

Also this week: Bill Durst receives the Mel Brown Award, more summer festival lineups and an anniversary show for Music for Mavericks in Edmonton.

On August 7, Winnipeg hard rock multi-instrumentalist Brent Fitz was honoured by his hometown in a street-naming ceremony. Bellavista Crescent in his old neighbourhood has been given the honorary name Brent Fitz Way to celebrate the prolific Winnipeg musician.

After a stint in popular prairie rockers Streetheart in the mid-'90s (he still plays with them), the drummer, bassist and keyboardist has toured and recorded with such major hard rock stars as Alice Cooper, Vince Neil, Slash, Theory Of A Deadman, Econoline Crush, Sass Jordan, Harlequin, Gilby Clarke, Triumph, and Bruce Kulick of Kiss and he is currently a member of Toque.
