The team of volunteers at Kemptville Live Music Festival presented by Explore North Grenville are incredibly pleased to the first two headliners for 2024! DEAN BRODY will join us for a spectacular Saturday night, July 20, 2024 RIGHT ROUND HERE and legendary Canadian classic GLASS TIGER will join us for another spectacular Sunday next summer on July 21st, 2024!Since his debut single “Brothers” hit the US Top-40 back in 2008, Dean has become one of the most beloved Canadian country artists of his generation. A passionate storyteller and unmatched lyricist, Dean has risen and continues to remain at the top of the Canadian country landscape with an impressive 34 Top-10 singles (including 8 #1s), 18 CCMA Awards, 2 JUNOs, more than 425+ million global streams and numerous gold and platinum certified singles (including 1 triple platinum and 3 double platinum). He currently holds the title of the most consumed Canadian country artist since 2020.
No country artist has ever owned the Canadian stage like Dean in recent years, consistently selling out arenas across the country, headlining Canada’s biggest music festivals and becoming the only Canadian country artist to hold a 7-year residency at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage. While a consistently celebrated entertainer, Dean also dedicates a large part of his life to philanthropic efforts through his charity, The Dean Brody Foundation. Learn more at DeanBrody.com

As Grammy nominated and 5x Juno award winners, Glass Tiger has sold 5 million albums worldwide, and shared stages and recording performances with some of the world’s leading acts including; Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, Journey, Julian Lennon, The Moody Blues and Cheap Trick (to name a few).
In 2019 Glass Tiger released 33. Produced by Glass Tiger founding member Sam Reid and UK, singer, songwriter, Andrew Cole, 33 is an unapologetically raw, mature, eclectic, statement that states simply: “This is who we are today and this is how we see the world around us.” From the rough and tumble, rebellious, “This is London”, a throwback to their “bar days” when you simply picked up a guitar, started a band, and made raucous loud music, to the ethereal nature of pop with tracks such as, “This is Your Life” and “Keepers of Time”, this EP is, without a doubt, what Glass Tiger fans have been anxiously awaiting for over two decades. In 2020, Glass Tiger released their first Christmas/Holiday offering in 34 years titled, Songs for A Winter’s Night. The album is a collection of songs written by Glass Tiger along with a cover of Gordon Lightfoot’s “A Song for A Winter’s Night.” Songs for A Winter’s Night sees the band joined by such timeless artists as Natalie MacMaster, Isabel Bayrakdarian, and the Steve Sidwell Orchestra. Legendary singer/ songwriter Gordon Lightfoot makes an appearance to voice a very special poem written by lead singer Alan Frew, “Ode For A Winter’s Night.” Songs for a Winter’s Night is heralded by the lead single “Happy Holidays” featuring the inimitable Roch Voisine. Glass Tiger continues to tour and play for enthusiastic audiences from coast-to-coast. In September of 2023, Glass Tiger was inducted into Canada’s prestigious Walk of Fame at a star-studded ceremony taking place at Toronto’s Iconic Massey Hall. Learn more at GlassTiger.ca
