So this past weekend Garth Brooks rolled into Hamilton, Ontario, Canada after 19 loooong years. Last time Garth was in town the venue, now FirstOntario Centre, was called Copps Coliseum and I was in my early 20’s. Garth returned not for one sold out show, but FIVE. I don’t think there is another artist alive that could sell out five shows in four nights in this market.

George Canyon sells out Nashville…
George Canyon performs at Nashville North- Photo: Ray Williams
I was excited to be able to Photograph and review George Canyon at Nashville North in a place called Norval, just outside Georgetown Ontario. You’re probably wondering why I am pin pointing this on a map. It’s easy, I grew up in Mississauga and Nashville North was the only county bar around for ever. Heck they didn’t even have an enclosed mall in Georgetown when I first started to go to Nashville North. So when you get a top Canadian Country star like George Canyon It’s a big deal. It showed last night when I asked if this was a sell-out, I got a hell Yeah!!!!
