With the 2015 Get A Little Crazy Tour under his belt, Tim Hicks cemented his reputation as one of Canada’s most dynamic live Country performers. On this, his first national headlining tour, Hicks served up ample helpings of the grit, humour and good time anthems; something his audiences have come to expect. In 2013, he was the #1 highest selling digital Canadian Country Artist of the Year and Most Played Debut Artist overall at Country radio. Since, he has been honoured with a 2014 Canadian Radio Music Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, the 2014 CCMA Rising Star Award, and the 2015 Country Music Association of Ontario Award for Album of the Year (5:01+).

Joining Tim is hometown star, Cory Marquardt (seriously, he can walk to the venue from his house) will be performing Saturday July 30th at the 2016 Summer in the Park Festival at the Community Waterfront Park in North Bay!!!

Cory Marquardt’s 6 foot 1 inch 220 pound frame and it’s easy to believe he played three years of major junior hockey in Ontario and Quebec. Hear Cory’s passion for flying and you’ll understand his pursuit of becoming a fighter pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force. See Cory perform and hear him sing, and you’ll agree he was destined to be a country music star!
