What a hot beautiful Friday… and the country music fans were ready for more after Niko Moon’s amazing kick off party Thursday night!
It’s so good to be back and have it feel like we didn’t skip a beat-seeing the smiling faces of thousands of country music fans was enough to get me in the mood for a cold beverage and some live music.
Day one of the 43rd annual Edmonton Folk Music Festival kicked off with a bang last night at Gallagher Park.
Hunter Brothers, consisting of real life brothers, Luke, J.J., Ty, Brock, and Dusty, hail from the small town of Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. The brothers still call Shaunavon home and still farm the same land they grew up on.
With an impressive list of CCMA and Juno nominations, as well as 23 SCMA wins, including Group of the Year, Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year, and Album of the Year, Hunter Brothers are proving that you can successfully make your dreams come true while still staying true to your roots.
We chatted with the brothers before they took the main stage at Cavendish Beach Music Festival earlier this month to talk about farming and what their new single “Peace, Love & Country Music” means to them.
Hailing from Owasso, Oklahoma, Allie Colleen has set out to make a name for herself with her authentic style of country music and captivating lyrics. Named one of the 2022 Country Evolution Artists To Watch, Allie Colleen describes her music as Women’s Outlaw Country.
Garnering the attention of famed radio host, Bobby Bones, Allie Colleen was featured as the Artist of the Week on the Bobby Bones Top 30 Countdown this past May, where she performed her latest single “Halos and Horns”.
We caught up with Allie Colleen before her set at Cavendish Beach Music Festival to talk about “Halos and Horns” and to learn a little more about the artist behind the music.
RBC Ottawa Bluesfest came to an end on Sunday night with Headliners The National on the main stage and The Beaches on the River stage.
Ja Rule, TLC, and a crazy set by Grandson were the highlights on the eve of the last day of RBC Ottawa Bluesfest 2022 edition.
On the first night of a coming heatwave, Rage Against the Machine played to an enthusiastic shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. Earlier Ludic, The Commotions and Okies played charming shows across the festival, as Run the Jewels opened for Rage on the main stage with their typical bombast and charm.
It was a double birthday / anniversary celebration at RBC Bluesfest as I was celebrating my 48th and our friends at Country 92.3 CKBY celebrated their 50th year on the air in Ottawa. That’s quite the milestone for radio these days, of course CKBY has gone through some changes over the years but they’re still #1 for Country in Ottawa. So what better way to celebrate than with a huge country headliner, Luke Bryan.
Bluesfest organized a rock-heavy set for the main stage on July 13th, featuring Millencolin, Sum41, Alexisonfire, and the occasional mosh pit.
