So this week I had the chance to head down the QEW to Niagara Falls to hang with Tim Hicks in his Stompin Ground. We took to the mound at Oakes Park to chat about his current album Shake Theses Walls.

The content from the CCMA’s just continues to flow in. This time it’s from another one of the parties. This one is all about Invictus. And it was a fantastic night of music indeed. Taking place at London Music Hall I can tell you that Jim Cressman sure knows how to throw a party.
Tebey – Old School
So Tebey is about to embark on his First Come, First Served tour that kicks off in Ontario on October 13th at the Music Hall in Oshawa. This tour is fueled by the fine folks over at Coors Banquet Beer. And how appropriate would it be to release a killer new single “Old School” just before you hit the road. And to cap it all off how about a video re-capping the incredible summer of music. Check it out. And be sure to catch Tebey at any of the upcoming shows. We may just have a few VIP Experiences up our sleeves so stay TUNED!

Thursday night at The Dakota Tavern was by far the most diverse instalment of the Four Chords And The Truth series. Really getting to the “kernels of the popcorn”.
