So our friends over at Boots and Hearts today released there 3 day schedule. Tell us what day you think is best? We can’t wait for this thing to kick off…
Eli Young Band “Turn It On” in Toronto
Last night we were invited to take in the BIG Kick Off of the KX Country Concert Series at the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto. Bright Lights Big Country is the brain child of the amazing folks at KX Country Radio. They wanted to bring some great acts to smaller venues this summer and hopefully this is the first of a handful of shows this summer and they couldn’t have had a better line up to kick it all off with. With Eli Young Band headlining the show and with such amazing support from Burlington’s own Tebey along with amazing up and coming act Dani Strong this night was full of fantastic music.
One on One with RaeLynn
So, maybe you have heard of this show called “The Voice” and maybe you have heard of this amazing talent that Blake Shelton so intellegently … I know Blake, don’t get excited those words may never be used together like that again. But Wow, does RaeLynn ever know how to get a convo going.
Brantley Gilbert doin’ a bit more than kickin’ it in the stix.
Engines still smoking from a Memorial Day weekend motorcycle ride with Wounded Warrior Project®,BRANTLEY GILBERT continues on a hot streak as JUST AS I AM PLATINUM EDITON ascends to #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and surges into the Top 10 on the all-genre Top 200 chart. The Valory Music Co. project features five unreleased tracks including the raw title track and a remix of the 2X Platinum #1 Hit “Bottoms Up” featuring rapper T.I. JUST AS I AM PLATINUM EDITION also notched the top spot on iTunes Top Country Albums chart upon the May 18 release.
Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Profile: Johnson Crook
Last week we had the opportunity to spend some time with Johnson Crook, one of eight Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase competitors. We chatted in front of The Gladstone Hotel before their set and hung around to watch the band play. We’re glad we did.
Country Day @ The Ball Park
So this past Sunday we had the chance to take in Country Day at Rogers Center with the Toronto BlueJays. Maybe I should start off by saying I don’t overly enjoy baseball. But the thought of mixing country music with America’s favorite pastime I thought sure why not give this event a try. I had wanted to attend last year but wasn’t able to last-minute. This year it was a must.
Eli Young Band – Turn It On
The Eli Young Band are headed to Toronto next week for another Bright Lights Big Country Event put on by KX Country & Pizza Nova. On Thursday June 4th there is a fantastic lineup in place for the Phoenix Concert Theatre with Canada’s own Tebey and up and coming Canadian Country artist Dani Strong on the bill. Here is the latest from Eli Young Band Turn It On.
You won’t want to miss this one… Tickets Here
Hanging by a Moment with Jason Wade of Lifehouse
It’s been 15 years since “Hanging by a Moment” exploded for Los Angeles based rockers Lifehouse. On Tuesday the band returns with their 7th studio album Out of the Wasteland. I had a chance to preview the album for the past week, thanks to Sony Music Canada, and it’s easily one of the strongest offerings by the band in their 15 year history.
Corey’s Summer Picks…
So, the summer concert schedule is upon us and let me tell you if you LOVE live music you are going to really enjoy this summer. I have put together a list of MUST SEE but heck, I only say they are must see because well I think they are pretty damn talented individuals as well. I know we can’t hit them all. But we know I am going to do my best 😉
Hangin’ with Canaan Smith
I had the chance to sit down with Canaan Smith while he was in town last month with Dan & Shay. For those not familiar with Canaan, which I am sure it ain’t many. Mr. Smith has a couple hit singles under his belt already along with his current single sky rocketing on the Country charts south of the border.
