Check out this new video from the Zac Brown Band for their new single I’ll Be Your Man.  The boys have really outdone themselves on this one.  A very movie like video that spans a total of  8 min and 31 seconds.   This mini movie draws you in and the performance by both the artists and the actors is phenomenal.

Justin Moore brought his Honky Tonkin’ ways to Treasure Island Casino just after taking few months off the road while working on his new album.  Justin started out the night taking the crowd back to his #1 hit Point at You from his 2013 album Off The Beaten Path. The crowd got up on their feet singing along and dancing as he continued to play past hits, How I Got to Be This Way, Till My Last Day and Beer Time.

Last month we had the chance to sit down with Jaren, Neil and Kelby of The Cadillac Three before they hit the stage at the SOLD OUT, Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.  The boys have since released the new single Graffiti to radio we love it love here at SCE.   Enjoy the interview.

Well looks like Brantley Gilbert was only testing the waters with a spattering of dates across Canada this past October.   Because he is headed back to play 3 dates in Ontario on his BLACK OUT World Tour.   And on this one he is bringing along some pretty solid friends in Canaan Smith & Michael Ray.

This past weekend we had a chance to spend 2 days in the small town of Lucknow, Ontario.  For those of you not sure where this quaint little town is.   Lucknow is located just over an hour North-West of Kitchener/ Waterloo.  Before I get started we want to thank all the amazing volunteers who put this fantastic weekend together.  With over 600+ volunteers pulling together to make this my personal favourite of the busy summer season.  This was our 2nd year making the 1h 35min drive to take in some of Country’s biggest names.

We had a chance to sit down with Maddie & Tae a couple weeks back when they made their Canadian debut at Gone Country in London, Ontario.  For those of you that made it to the show will know the girls know how to bring it.   Here is our interview with the fabulous Maddie & Tae.

So next week London, Ontario turns into one of Ontario’s go to destinations for concert goer’s of all types.

Jones Entertainment Group has put together another amazing year of Rock The Park as well as the 2nd Year for the expanded Gone Country Music Festival.  Now as most of you know I am a die-hard country music buff so this is one of the key festivals for me this summer and with the final lineup being confirmed just a couple of weeks ago due to Little Big Town having to pull out due to some medical issues within the band.   Here is what Brad and his team have lined up for entertainment.

So Last night we were invited to an exclusive event held by Big Machine Label Group Canada for an intimate performance with Baytown Texas native Raelynn.  For those of you who watch The Voice Raelynn competed on season two on Blake Sheltons team.  Blake took Raelynn under his wing after the voice and to be honest this spunky little blonde with a heart of gold is just gettin’ started.  Last night the room was filled with about 50 or 60 lucky contest winners from KX94.7 & KX96 who were eager to see RaeLynn for her 1st EVER Canadian performance.    I was speaking with one lucky winner and she and a friend drove 3 hrs to get a chance to take a selfie with RaeLynn (thats the kind dedicated fans this girl has)

This was an acoustic set with a stripped down set.  Matt Nelson on Guitar and Mike Smith on drums & suitcase (WTF?) but hey it sounded great!  Paired with the unique but angelic voice of RaeLynn it truly was something special.   Now, I had been listening to RaeLynn for a while now so I had an idea what songs she was going to perform from the EP.  But was more curious on what covers she might do.  Well it was the amazing cover of her dear friend Meghan Trainors All about The Base that had the crowd boppin’ in their seats you could see from the smile on Raelynns face that she loved covering the song and how highly she spoke of Meghan was sweet to see.

She also covered one of her idols Dolly Parton, with her own little spin on the classic Jolene and I can tell you she hit it out of the park.  My personal favorite was one she sang early in the set. Before singing Kissin’ Frogs, she tells a great story about how the song came about and why she wrote it but won’t spoil it. I know she loves telling that story before she performs it so gives you more reason to make it out to her August 27th performance happening at Molson amphitheatre as she opens for Rascal Flatts alongside Scotty McCreary tickets can be purchased here for that show.

Her new single For A Boy shows a more mature side oh her music writing abilities and truly believe that she has an old soul that just brings new light to today’s country music.

I had the chance to sit down with RaeLynn before the performance so watch for that Interview early next week.  But I can one thing I can tell you is RaeLynn is nominated for 2 CMT Awards head over here to vote.

Couple other great videos of RaeLynn below…
