Up with People Returning to Canada
About 30 years ago I was introduced to Up With People when they paid a visit to my home town in Northern Ontario. There was something so enticing about the cast and the production that many of us quickly applied for a chance to travel with a future tour. Although I failed in my first attempt a friend of mine from high school was successful in his first bid and travelled with Up With People the following year. I applied again the next time they came to town and this time I was accepted…unfortunately various circumstances prevented me from joining the cast it’s something that has stuck with me ever since.
The experience of getting to know the cast members (we were a host family) and seeing the impact they have on the community was something I’ll never forget so when I heard that Up With People was coming back to Canada I knew I had to reach out to help them spread the word!

X Ambassadors closed out Sundaze Festival with a Boom
This weekend we checked out the first ever Sundaze Music and Arts festival in beautiful Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Primarily know for the Cavendish Beach Music Festival, this is the first festival to be held on the island in recent memory that has not been a country festival. There were over 10 acts to take the stage over two days, including T-Pain, Cheat Codes and X Ambassadors. The entire weekend was full of music, art, sunshine and good vibes. Check out our full music recap below!
Thunder in the Rain led to Short Skirt Weather for Kane Brown’s Ottawa debut
I don’t know what mother nature has against country music this summer but I’m starting to see a pattern here. Festival Country de Lotbinière, it rained. Country night 1 featuring Eric Church, it rained and delayed the gates by 2 hours nearly threatening the night’s entertainment. Country Night 2, last night…it rained delaying the gates by 2 hours nearly threatening the night’s entertainment…anyone else see the pattern here? In all three cases the show was able to go on and country music fans came out in large numbers to party, country style.
Calgary Stampede literally thunders into the weekend
Impeccable timing courtesy Mother Nature meant the “Severe Thunderstorm Warning” that took effect for the Calgary area rolled through and wrapped up just in time to let the music start up for the evening’s outdoor shows.
