On Wednesday night we had the pleasure of attending the Guelph stop of Dallas Smith‘s Tippin’ Point Tour. Arrangements to interview the guys from Sundy Best in the afternoon but, life has a way of reminding us that sometimes, things are out of our control. First, Corey was unable to attend and that left me in the driver’s seat. We headed into Guelph arriving early for our scheduled time. This gave me time to do some research and put together some questions of my own for Kris and Nick. And then my phone rang. Getting a call from the tour manager, just before your scheduled interview time isn’t usually a good thing. But in this case, it was a quick call to let us know they were a little behind schedule, nothing more.

So, the hottest name in Canadian country music these days has to be Dallas Smith.

Here we grow again.  A few months shy of a year after we added Corey Kelly to the writing team and about 2 months after we added Alberta Kelly we’re doing it again.  Please give a warm welcome to Trish Cassling who recently joined the Sound Check family. 

I had the opportunity to chat with Kris Bentley of Kentucky based Sundy Best.  Now I am going to assume seeing we have a pretty heavy Canadian readership that not everyone will have heard of Sundy Best.

We made some major inroads over the course of 2014 and laid the foundation for an incredible 2015.  Interviews with bigger artists, more festivals, more events, more contests…it’s going to be amazing.  Here’s our look ahead.

The 159th Annual Spencerville Fair has arrived and they’ve got a weekend jam packed of activities and an entertainment lineup that is, once again, second to no other fair in Eastern Ontario.  We recently published our interview with Tebey who makes up half of Saturday’s entertainment lineup along with Dallas Smith, today we shift our focus to the roots of popular music as we know it with the Devin Cuddy band.
