This year we kicked off summer festival season in southern Ontario once again with none other than Burlington Sound of Music Festival in beautiful Spencer Smith Park on the shores of Lake Ontario. Thankfully we were by the lake because Mother Nature sure brought the heat. If you’ve never been before be sure to check it out next year as the festival celebrates its 40th Anniversary. Throughout the weekend we had the privilege to catch acts such as Tyler Shaw, Scott Helman, Texas King, The Elwins, Royal North, Kongos, See Spot Run, The Pursuit of Happiness and non other than Matthew Good who closed out the festival on Sunday afternoon.

Burlington’s Sound of Music Festival once again showed fans what they are made of with a packed weekend of talent, great food and gorgeous weather.

Sound of Music Festival proudly announces their FREE concert line-up for Father’s Day Weekend on Burlington’s Waterfront.

The Spice Factory in Hamilton was host to the album release of The Redhill Valleys on Tuesday, and it was completely sold out. There was a buzz of excitement among everyone in attendance, merch and cd’s were flying off of the table before any music even began. The trio of Danielle Beaudin, Chelsea McWilliams and Tim Allard have been polishing their sound for a little while now in the Hamilton/Toronto area and have gathered a lot of interest and anticipation towards their first album release. Well, the wait is over.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been half a decade already since it all began.  Although for the first 4, or so, summers I was primarily the only writer there were a lot of people behind the scenes that ensured that I could get to the festivals and events.  Here’s my look back at the first 5 summers.

Jason Blaine Celebrity Charity Golf Classic

When you are a celebrity and want to give back to your community there’s no better way than to gather up a few close friends and throw a party…and then invite the community to attend.  Over the last two days, Jason Blaine did just that in Pembroke for the Second Annual Celebrity Charity Golf Classic and we were thrilled to have been part of it.

So the fine folks down at the Burlington Sound of Music Festival announced yesterday afternoon that they have decided to run a ticketed event that will help support the FREE Annual Event.   So looks like Weezer, Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven and Current Swell are set to take the stage on June 13.  Here are the official details.
