So our friends over at New Country 94 had a wee little party to celebrate 1 year on the air in the Nations Capital.   And they invited some pretty special friends to help celebrate.  Our Sean Sisk was there to cover the night,  So here it is… through the eye of Sisk..

Well, as we all know the summer is coming to a close and there aren’t many festivals left on the calendar.  However one of my favourite events of the year is a mere 3 days away.  Lucknow MITF kicks off its 7th year on Friday night with another fantastic weekend of country music lined up.

We are launching our new series “The Mason Jar Sessions” with our friends Autumn Hill.  The whole idea about these sessions is to do a performance in a more unique setting.  

We had a chance to sink our toes into the sand with Autumn hill a couple of weeks back. Blame their current hit single was sitting at #4 on Canadian Country Radio. We sat on a beach to discuss the release of Anchor there latest offering of tunes you just can’t skip. This album was released by Wax Records and distributed by Universal Music Canada and have to thank Allison at Universal for setting this one up.

Autumn Hill – Anchor CD Release – June 24^th – Adelaide Hall Toronto

Last night Autumn Hill dropped Anchor at Adelaide Hall for one hell of CD Release party.  With what felt like a full house the energy in the place was just buzzin’. The night started off with Sudbury, Ontario native and label mate Andrew Hyatt.  I had a chance to catch Andrew this past weekend when he played the Sound Of Music Festival in Burlington.  This time around it was a little different.   Andrew had a full band backing him in Burlington but last night it was him and his guitarist. I am more an acoustic guy and love hearing things a bit more raw and less plugged in so this set was PERFECT for my liking.  Andrew had a solid 30 min set and if you have a chance to see him anywhere this summer I strongly suggest making the effort.

If you have been listening to Canadian Country radio over the last say 2 or 3 months then you have defiantly heard the hit single BLAME by the very talented Autumn Hill.    My wife and I actually listened to this album together and we were both in awe of how solid it was from start to finish.
