SEXTUPLE-PLATINUM ALBUM POINT OF KNOW RETURN TO BE PERFORMED IN ITS ENTIRETY

Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson have just confirmed their notorious Twins of Evil tour which Billboard has said “makes a big rock show feel like not only the right place to be, but also the best.” Produced by Live Nation, the co-headlining Hell Never Dies Tour 2019 kicks off in Baltimore on July 9.

Whether you look at August as the turning point where summer begins it’s descent into fall August to us is a month that we look forward to every year because, of course, August is the month of one of our favourite country music festivals…Boots and Hearts. Yesterday a threat of rain passed and left in it’s wake conditions that would rival the talent on stage at the festival, HOT!

The stars returned to Bunbury earlier this month as the festival debuted it’s first ever three day lineup. We had a photographer at the festival, catch her photo high lights below.

Brett Kissel is currently touring across Canada in support of his album We Were That Song, last week the tour stopped in Ottawa for an exclusive valentines day event at Algonquin Commons Theatre.

Summer is here and that means it’s almost time for another edition of the Ottawa Bluesfest! While all the hype typically surrounds the headliners, there is loads of local talent performing as well. So if you’re going, head out early and discover some of the great local music that our city has to offer. Once again this year, there are many great up and coming local bands for you to discover and enjoy!

For the first time ever, iHeartRadio brought a Jingle Ball concert tour stop to Canada, hosting it to a nearly sold out crowd at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre last night. With Kardinal Offishall warming up the crowd before the show and keeping them hyped between sets, there was no slowing down (unless you count the soulful crooning that comes with The Weeknd).

So last Saturday night we had a chance to spend some time backstage with the talented Meghan Patrick.  Meghan was the opening slot in Oshawa (darn close to her hometown of Bowmanville) on Kip Moore’s Me & My Kind Tour.   

Cowboy’s Ranch in London is know for its parties on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday nights it normally sits quiet, except this past Sunday when Grammy Nominated Brothers Osborne stopped by looking for a party. I don’t think London disappointed them with the packed house ready to rock out until the wee hours of a Sunday night.

Raquel Cole opened up the show and she is no stranger to us here at Sound Check Entertainment. Recently Corey had the chance to record a Mason Jar Session with her which you can check out here.

Raquel had the crowds attention from the get go with her mandolin and her amazing voice. It was my first time seeing her live and I will tell you now, don’t miss her if you get the chance to catch her live on stage. This girl is going places!

Brothers Osborne hit the stage and from the start it was face melting guitar riffs, and just plain old good times. Hit after hit the rocked the stage at Cowboys for a good 90 minutes before it was time to pull out their big hit ” Stay a Little Longer” which the enormous crowd sang every word too so loudly it was clear the loved having the brothers in town to party.

One of the coolest parts of the show was when they stripped it down to play around a single mic, it was tough to hear everything, but just watching the entire band crowd around a single mic really gave you an sense of where these guys started out. Hopefully someday we can get a Mason Jar Session with these boys and capture that scene.
