Typical of so many musicians, Reg Benoit created a steady if unspectacular
career. He did well enough to garner acclaim, although not enough to
quit his day job. Then in 1998, Reg's world came to an abrupt halt.
A serious spinal cord injury sustained at that day job forced him to
pursue music full time and to fine tune his passion for life and
people. The unexpected tragedy became a new direction in the service
of others through music and a deeper understanding of how life works
out. He has performed tirelessly to entertain seniors, the sick and
in aid of an impressive list of fundraising projects large and
small, public and personal. His music has benefited the St. John's
Children's Hospital and Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. he has
devoted time and energy to native groups and when Canada's last
surviving Father of Confederation, Joey Smallwood, ran into
financial difficulties writing his history of Newfoundland, Reg was
there to help. Along the way, Reg became a pastor in order to touch
people in the darker corners where even music cannot reach. Reg
Benoit is a symbol of those for whom music is not a road to riches,
but a challenging path to the hearts of people.
