Catching up with Dallas Smith
Back in the spring we sat down with Dallas Smith shortly before he took the stage at Festival Country de Lotbinière. It was a gloomy day and rain had been falling much of the day but it did little to dampen the spirits of Dallas or the country fans eager for Smith’s debut performance in la belle province.
Chatting with the Reklaws
Last month we managed to catch up with our friends Jenna and Stuart Walker, aka The Reklaws at two events. Watch the interviews below.
Despite delivering heavy rain on Saturday Mother Nature failed to dampen the spirits of fans at Festival Country de Lotbinière

When planning a festival it’s easy to take for granted that everything will go as planned and that the entertainment and logistics will all fall into place. Booking a festival is already a difficult task, that task becomes even more difficult when something doesn’t go as planned. For the organizers of Festival Country Lotbinière the worst case scenario happened this year when tragedy struck for their headliner just a week before the crowds were set to arrive.

Catching up with SiriusXM Top of the Country Finalist – Dan Davidson
We first met Dan Davidson last summer at Festival Country de Lotbinière where he opened for Meghan Patrick. Dan immediately made an impression on both us and the audience, his energy was infectious and he knew how to work the stage. We talked to Dan after his performance and he was surprised at how many people knew him and his music in Quebec and that his fans lined up for a chance to meet him and get a photo taken before the show. In the year since Dan has toured across Canada with Brett Kissel and his new EP “Juliet” came out Feb 21, 2019 and debuted at #1 on the Canadian iTunes Country charts.
