Three’s A Party Tour Poster

Dear Rouge brought their Black to Gold tour to the Mansion in Kingston on Friday night and they along with special guests Rah Rah and Caveboy were solid gold!

Tim Hicks is set to embark on his very first headlining tour across Canada.  We sat down with Tim in August and he did a couple cuts off of his 5:01+ album.  Here is the only cut off 5:01+ that wasn’t part of his recent Trilogy of videos released to radio for online use a couple of weeks back.   Not sure if we are the only ones with an acoustic performance of this one but its a great cut.  We also want to wish Tim all the best on the Get A little Crazy Tour .  We know you will have lots of friends in the audience during this tour that are ready to get a little crazy with ya.   Enjoy folks

Last night the Three’s A Party tour kicked off in Halifax at Casino Halifax.   It was a one of those nights you could feel the energy in the room ready to explode.  We are so thankful to have James Bennett covering the East in Canada for SCE now.  Here is a glimpse of what James caught for us on camera!  We will have some EXTENSIVE coverage of this tour while it rolls through Ontario over the next 10 Days with stops in Peterborough, Kitchener, London, Georgetown, Bellville, Ottawa, Oshawa & Kingston we will be at most of these shows bringing you the most extensive coverage including behind the scenes and possibly a an intimate performance or two.

So our friends over at New Country 94 had a wee little party to celebrate 1 year on the air in the Nations Capital.   And they invited some pretty special friends to help celebrate.  Our Sean Sisk was there to cover the night,  So here it is… through the eye of Sisk..

So a couple weeks back now we had a chance to sit down with the fellas from Cold Creek County to discuss making their debut album When The Wheels Come Off and signing to a major label.   The boys hit the road November 1st supporting Tim Hicks on the Get A Little Crazy Tour.  We will have some fantastic contests on this tour where you could win your way to a VIP Experience with all the artists on the tour!

How cool is this…Our friend of the site TIM HICKS just released on cool ass idea for on neat little video package.  And don’t forget we have partnered up with RGK & Tim Hicks to give you a chance to win #VIP tickets to get into the #GetALittleCrazy Tour starting Nov 1st!  Here are the details on the Video!

After reading through Corey’s top 10 artists to watch in 2016 I started thinking of who I would put in that list. There are definitely similarities between my 10 and Corey’s, as you will see.  2015 has been a big year for Canadian country music from the tour perspective with all the major players hitting the road, Dallas Smith started the year with his hugely successful “Tippin’ Point Tour” featuring Sundy Best and now this fall Dean Brody and Paul Brandt just wrapped up their “Road Trip Tour”, Brett Kissel and Jordan McIntosh are currently on the road with their “Airwaves Tour” and Tebey kicks off his “Three’s A Party Tour” with Jason Blaine and James Otto on Friday in Halifax and to cap off the year Tim Hicks is hitting the road with Cold Creek County and Jason Benoit for their “Get A Little Crazy Tour”.  Notice something missing? Out of all the tours above only the “Road Trip Tour” featured tomatoes as an added ingredient with Lindi Ortega, Jess Moskaluke, Madeline Merlo and Whitney Rose featured throughout the tour.

So let’s take a look at who I think has the greatest chance of breaking out in the coming year, 2016.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Multi-platinum selling music artists, Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas, invite you to experience FUTURE NOW: THE TOUR.
