Hanson with Paul McDonald – Roots & Rock ‘N’ Roll Tour
This past weekend Hanson returned to Toronto with their Roots & Rock ‘N’ Roll tour. Ten cities, two nights each, the #RNRTour is giving Hanson fans a look at the music that influenced the band as well a large helping of Hanson’s back catalog. If you’re a fan, you’d know they’ve released 10 albums since 1995 and that they’ve been touring since 1998. Saturday night they brought along Paul McDonald to open the covers show.
McDonald, ex-American Idol contestant (he finished 8th) hit the stage at 7:00pm with his acoustic guitar and immediately won the crowd over. With a unique, recongnizable voice, Paul sang some heartbreaking lyrics, smiling at the crowd between songs and engaging in banter. “This is the saddest song I’ve ever written” he smiles, looks down and begins to play.

Jason Aldean’s Truck Rolls Over in BC
Looks like the boys in Jason Aldeans camp need to be slowin’ it down…
Looks as though one of the Aldean’s equipment truck drivers lost control of the truck and had a run in with a ditch between Kamloops and Prince George. Thankfully the driver escaped with just minor injuries.
And it seems that Aldean’s representatives have just made the announcement that tonight’s concert in Prince George has been moved to Wednesday night (Oct. 7) with all tickets for the original show will be honoured.
