On the Saturday April 11, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet JUNO award-winner Meghan Patrick. Her bold honesty and powerhouse presence has made her one of country music’s most compelling voices. Her 2026 JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year for “Golden Child” marks another major milestone for the Ontario native, who now lives in Nashville, in a career built on authenticity, critical acclaim, and growing international impact.
“Golden Child” is Patrick’s most personal work to date – an 18-track project rooted in self-reflection, growth, and emotional honesty. Anchored by a breakout title track that became one of the most successful releases of her career, the album has helped propel her beyond Canadian borders and into a new chapter of global recognition.
Then, we get to know Andy Hines, a Canadian filmmaker from Nova Scotia, whose feature film debut Little Lorraine is in theatres on April 17.
The son of photographer Sherman Hines, began his career as a music video director, creating videos for artists such as Alicia Keys, Keith Urban, Jason Derulo, Lizzo, Coldplay, Matthew Good and many others. He’s a Grammy nominee and his video for Big Sean’s “One Man Can Change the World” was the winner of a MTV Music Video Award for Best Video with a Social Message.
Today we’re talking about his directorial feature film debut. “Little Lorraine” tells the true story of a group of coal miners in Little Lorraine, Cape Breton who lose their jobs after a mining accident. Seeking new livelihoods, they join an uncle on his lobster fishing boat, only to discover the boat is part of a larger cocaine smuggling ring. As the operation expands, involving funeral homes and caskets, the friends find themselves in too deep. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the consequences of getting involved in criminal activity, all against the backdrop of a close-knit community facing an extraordinary crisis.
