So this past weekend we got a chance to sit and “shoot the shit” with the fellas of The Road Hammers. Coming off 2 BIG Shows and about to hit the stage for the 3rd in 3 days the boys were pumped to be playing the inaugural CMT Music Fest being held in Kitchener, Ontario.
On this day in 2011 Sound Check Entertainment was born!
It’s hard to believe that it’s really only been 5 years since I first put pen to paper (so to speak) to write the first ever post for Sound Check Entertainment. Back then it was called the Hoedown Blogger and the platform was under the banner of the Ottawa Citizen but had it not been for that day none of what followed would be possible.
#Country4FortMac
Sometimes the stars align and things just seem to be perfect and nothing can knock that feeling away. Well last Thursday night in Toronto all the country stars you could think of showed up and played one of the best venues in the city in support of the relief efforts for Fort McMurray. It was honestly one of the coolest and intimate experiences I have had in a long time. Along with raising just over $17,000 for the cause. #Country4FortMac
#SOM2016 KICK OFF
So this past weekend marked the start of the Sound of Music Festival with their 2nd Annual Kick Off Party. The weather was hot, the beer was cold and the fans came out to support an amazing day of Rock & Roll.
I Mother Earth & Edwin Rock the Phoenix
So, I didn’t really want to say I Mother Earth with Edwin as my headline because well, I Mother Earth isn’t I Mother Earth without him in my personal opinion. Now that that is out of the way lets talk Reunion show #1 held at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in downtown Toronto on Friday June the 3rd. It was a smokin’ hot night outside and the boys of I Mother Earth only raised the temperature inside to almost boiling as they rocked through a 120 min long set.
Dan + Shay – From The Ground Up
We had a chance to chat with Dan + Shay last week while they were in Toronto to promote their current album Obsessed. Here is the first single off the album From The Ground Up. Be sure to check out our interview with the boys HERE.
Hangin’ with Dan + Shay
Dan + Shay dropped their new album Obsessed last Friday. I had a chance to catch up with them last week while they were in Toronto on a promo tour. The last time the boys were in town was when they played The Mod Club with Canaan Smith back in April of 2015. I can remember that show and thinking there may have been 10 guys in the sold out club that night. Fast forward 13 months and the they a new album and a boat load of summer festival dates lined up.

Hangin’ With Tucker Beathard
We had a chance to sit down and chat with Nashville born and raised Country artist Tucker Beathard a couple weeks back to discuss his new music. Tucker signed to Big Machine last year and it has been a whirlwind ever since. Here is our chat. And be sure to pick up Tucker’s 1st single ROCK ON Here.
Washboard Union – Mason Jar Session – Shot of Glory
If you haven’t heard about these boys yet your head must be in the sand. Washboard Union a trio out of Vancouver, BC were in Toronto a couple weeks back and we thought it would be great to get them to do a Mason Jar Session. So we managed to track them down thanks to Mr. Caven and the fellas cranked out a couple songs for us.
