So next week London, Ontario turns into one of Ontario’s go to destinations for concert goer’s of all types.

Jones Entertainment Group has put together another amazing year of Rock The Park as well as the 2nd Year for the expanded Gone Country Music Festival.  Now as most of you know I am a die-hard country music buff so this is one of the key festivals for me this summer and with the final lineup being confirmed just a couple of weeks ago due to Little Big Town having to pull out due to some medical issues within the band.   Here is what Brad and his team have lined up for entertainment.

Twas the night before Bluesfest and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.  The grounds are all ready, the stages are set in hopes that the music will soon be here.  The fans are nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of music and lights danced in their heads.  It all kicks off tomorrow afternoon and here are my picks for week #1!

Barrhaven Canada Day

The day started on a soggy note but us Canadians aren’t afraid of a little rain which didn’t deter thousands from attending a Canada Day celebration somewhere in the country.  Our choice, as a family, this year was Mattamy Homes Canada Day in Barrhaven in our former hometown of Barrhaven, Ontario (a suburb of Ottawa). 

We are mere weeks away from the first ever WAYHOME Music & Arts Festival and only a month out from Canada’s largetst coungry festival the 4th annual Boots and Hearts Music Festival.  This year they have something in common.  A NEW HOME! 

148 years ago today one of the greatest nations in the world was born, Canada.  On this special day we’d like to salute our home and native land and highlight just some of the reasons that make us proud to be Canadian!

Last night The Tragically Hip made a pit stop at the Kitchener Aud on their way back from 2 sold out nights in Kirkland Lake over the weekend.  They are set to play a big Canada Day Extravaganza at Molson Amphitheatre on July 1st with a more carnival type setting before the concert.  Might be kinda cool to check out.   BUT.. On this night there were no rides, no cotton candy it was all about the music.

It may have been over a decade since the reigning Queen of Canadian Country music has hit the road for a full tour but it definitely didn’t show.  Coming off of a 2 year run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas Shania kicked off her first tour earlier this month in Seattle, WA.

Autumn Hill – Anchor CD Release – June 24^th – Adelaide Hall Toronto

Last night Autumn Hill dropped Anchor at Adelaide Hall for one hell of CD Release party.  With what felt like a full house the energy in the place was just buzzin’. The night started off with Sudbury, Ontario native and label mate Andrew Hyatt.  I had a chance to catch Andrew this past weekend when he played the Sound Of Music Festival in Burlington.  This time around it was a little different.   Andrew had a full band backing him in Burlington but last night it was him and his guitarist. I am more an acoustic guy and love hearing things a bit more raw and less plugged in so this set was PERFECT for my liking.  Andrew had a solid 30 min set and if you have a chance to see him anywhere this summer I strongly suggest making the effort.

Day 1 of Amnesia Rockfest 2015 kicked off with a bang. Actually a lot of really loud bangs between the thunder early in the day to the early sets this little sleepy was awoken from its slumber in a hurry.
