London has a rich musical history . Guy Lombardo , the internationally acclaimed Big-Band leader , was born in London , as was jazz musician Rob McConnell , country music legend Tommy Hunter , singer-songwriter Meaghan Smith , pop icon Justin Bieber , and DJ duo Loud Luxury ; it is also the adopted home-town of hip-hop artist Shad Kabango , rock-music producer Jack Richardson , and 1960s folk-funk band Motherlode . American country-music icon Johnny Cash proposed to his wife June Carter Cash onstage at the London Gardens -- site of the famous 26 April 1965 , fifteen-minute Rolling Stones concert -- during his February 22 1968 performance in the city ( which happened to be the home-town of his manager Saul Holiff ) . Avant-garde noise-pioneers The Nihilist Spasm Band formed in downtown London in 1965 ( between 1966 and 1972 , the group held a Monday night residency at the York Hotel in the city 's core , which established it as a popular venue for emerging musicians and artists ; now known as Call the Office , the venue served as a hotbed for punk music in the late 1970s and 1980s and continues to host college rock bands and weekly alternative-music nights ) . In 2003 , CHRW-FM developed The London Music Archives , an online music database that chronicled every album recorded in London between 1966 and 2006 , and in 2019 the CBC released a documentary entitled " London Calling " which outlined " The Secret Musical History of London Ontario " ( including its importance for the massively popular electronic-music duo Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva ) . London also had ( and still has , in an unofficial capacity ) a professional symphony orchestra -- Orchestra London -- which was founded in 1937 ; although the organization filed for bankruptcy in 2015 , members of the orchestra continue to play self-produced concerts under the moniker of The London Symphonia . In addition , the city is home to the London Community Orchestra , the London Youth Symphony , and the Amabile Choirs of London , Canada . The Juno Awards of 2019 were hosted in London in March 2019 , hosted by singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan
