Award-Winning Jasmine Cain, a Sturgis SD native, now living in Nashville, has been entertaining rock fans for many years by touring tirelessly. (According to her website, she did 170 shows in 2019.) So when the Pandemic hit as she was releasing her 7^th album Seven, Jasmine didn’t take a wait and see approach. She immediately went out and purchased equipment to allow for streaming of content and promotion of the album until she would be able to tour again.

Seven went on to win the Josie Award for Album of the Year. Jasmine also took home the Vocalist of the Year Award for 2020.  She rose to the occasion like a true professional despite last year’s massive shutdown of the live music industry as a whole.

Winners announced for The 50th Annual JUNO Awards, highlighting Canada’s important musical achievements. The Weeknd sweeps the JUNOS taking home five awards. Jann Arden performed from Calgary’s National Music Centre following her induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame by the legendary Anne Murray.  The Tragically Hip received the 2021 Humanitarian Award and delivered a stunning performance alongside indie-pop icon Feist and Shawn Mendes took home JUNO Fan Choice.

‘’Toronto is a diverse music city unlike any other in Canada, and has produced some of our most loved artists from global superstars to emerging talent from Toronto’s many communities,‘’ said Allan Reid, President & CEO, CARAS/The JUNO Awards and MusiCounts. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to come back to Toronto, and celebrate together, in-person, for a JUNO reunion in 2022”

Tantric rocked The King of Clubs in Columbus, Ohio with two nights of sold out shows the weekend of May 7th and 8th.  It was a stellar performance with the unmistakable sound of Hugo Ferreira’s vocal style, great stage presence and awesome riffs.

The King of Clubs is a recently opened event venue in Columbus, Ohio designed with the goal of providing amazing musical experiences for artists and fans of all genres.  Even though the show was socially distanced, the energy was high, the venue was thumping, and the people were dancing in their seats.

The Rage Against The Machine tour will now start in the spring of 2022. Your tickets will be honored for the postponed shows. Refunds are available at the original point of purchase for 30 days if you are unable to make it to the new date. We will see you next year.
