It seems more and more these days that country music is having a real identity crisis, at least that’s how it looks to someone who has really only been big into country for the last 20, or so, years.

Mother Mother and Alvvays among headliners at 2016 Tim Horton’s Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival
Tim Horton’s Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival Logo
It’s that time of year again, some of Ottawa’s biggest summer events are announcing their 2016 lineups. First out of the gate is the 23rd Annual Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival who, this morning, announced their incredible lineup of entertainment on the Hillside Amphitheatre stage.
Chatting with Michael Ray….
A couple months back Michael Ray had a stop in London, Ontario where he had a chance to hammer out a couple great Mason Jar Sessions for Kiss You In The Morning & Real Men Love Jesus thanks to the folks over at Warner Music Canada. Corey also had a chance to ask Michael a few questions that night. Well as we prepare to welcome Mr. Ray and the rest of Brantley Gilbert’s #BlackoutTour back to Canada we thought this was just the right time to post the chat with Michael. So here it is… Enjoy.
Phil Vassar’s Entertaining Twist on Tour, Podcast and His Own Bobblehead
So so some may have already noticed that SCE has expanded across the boarder into the US. Phil Vassar is headed to Medina, MN next week and in order to get the word out Tiffany had a little time to chat with Phil and talk about Touring and a few other things. Enjoy.
Country Mega Ticket 2016
Well the cats out of the bag it is going to be another HOT summer in Toronto down at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre. The 2016 Country Mega Ticket announcement came out this morning. We know with Luke playing 2 dates with Little Big Town and not playing any of the other festivals this summer will likely be the MOST WANTED ticket. Who are you most excited to see?
Grease: LIVE, almost, better than the original!
When I first heard that they were planning to remake Grease for a live television event I admit I kinda cringed. Firstly Grease is one of my all time favourite movies and secondly Hollywood hasn’t had much success, in my opinion, when it comes to live TV remakes of classic musicals. First came Carrie Underwood’s train wreck of a remake of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Sound of Music and second came the equally bad rendition of Peter Pan, I didn’t even bother with The Wiz. I simply couldn’t bear the thought of watching Hollywood destroy Grease (like the sequels weren’t bad enough).
Kelly Prescott shows her hillbilly roots in Hillbilly Jewels video!

Ottawa based singer/songwriter Kelly Prescott is no stranger to the music industry, born into a musical family with ties to Northern Ontario, Nova Scotia and the Ottawa Valley there’s no question her musical roots run deep. Kelly is preparing to release her upcoming album Hillbilly Jewels and today released the video for the album’s title track, “Hillbilly Jewels”
Garth Brooks returns to Canada with not one but 8 sold out shows, and counting!
This is the first in a new weekly series I’m going to call Hendrik’s Monday Musings. Consider it my commentary on all things music related in Ottawa, Canada and beyond.
Unless you count his appearance at the Calgary Stampede in 2012 it’s been 19 long years since Garth Brooks performed on Canadian soil. Hamilton was the first stop to be announced back on the 6th of January and when tickets went on sale a few weeks later there was no question that he would be welcomed back with open arms.
