In case you needed another reason to head up Highway 17 to Mattawa this summer, the lineup for the 2016 Mattawa Voyageur Days just got a little stronger, this morning the lineup for the Friday’s country night was announced.
First came Saturday’s rock night a few months ago which saw Vince Neil and The Glorious Son’s added to the bill and today they followed up with Friday’s country night sponsored by our friends at Country 600 CKAT, North Bay’s Best Country. Our good friend Chad Brownlee will be co-headlining the night with veteran Canadian country favourites Doc Walker with an opening act still to be announced.
