The Jordy Jackson Band took Athens by Storm
Friday evening, I took my first road trip of 2019 to the Joshua Bates Centre in Athens to see Kingston’s The Jordy Jackson Band. The Joshua Bates Centre is a gem of a place to see a show, it’s acoustics are nothing short of amazing, everything just sounds so good in there. I would rather see a band in a nice intimate setting like this than one of those big venues or festivals. Jordy is not a stranger to those bigger shows though with visits to The Tweed Stampede, Trackside Music Festival, and the Havelock Country Jamboree under his belt.

Eastern Ontario country music fans spent much of the latter part of last week on the edge of their seat as Mother Nature was threatening to make travel difficult for the weekend just as Luke Combs was set to bring his first ever Canadian tour, the Beer Never Broke My Heart tour, to Oshawa and Kingston. Thankfully as the weekend arrive Mother Nature, again, proved that she was a country fan and the forecast turned to just rain until well after the Saturday night show allowing fans from all across Eastern Ontario to pack into the Leon’s Centre in Kingston for one hell of a show.
