Cory Marquardt has a new single out… And this one is one you will want to crank up to ten… Atleast we know we do. Nowhere With You is Cory’s 4th Single and might just be the one that finally grabs the ears of Country Radio in Canada. We had a chance to have Cory do an acoustic version of this one and we would love to hear what you think!
Hey Ontario, The South Is Coming….
So for those of you that don’t listen to SXM Radio you may not have heard a whole lot of Cadillac Three or Chase Rice on the Radio up here in Canada. However if you crank The Highway on SXM on a regular basis you have heard these two amazing acts multiple times. Cadillac Three have a song on slow rotation on some of Canada’s Country Radio stations with White Lighting. While Chase has had a little more success with his singles Ready, Set, Roll and Gonna Wanna Tonight north of the border. Neither have played many dates up here so we are happy to have them headin’ to the Great White North!
Next Women of Country Tour Coming to Ontario
So Jennifer Nettles and The Next Women of Country Tour are headed North to Casinorama later this month an let me tell ya, you won’t want to miss this show.
Lets kick it off with the absolutely amazing support acts starting with new comer Tara Thompson. For those who haven’t been introduced to Miss Thompson yet this girl is full of sass.. Her current single Someone To Take Your Place has a real hook that has you bumpin before the end of the first chorus.
Next up likely on stage will be one of Canada’s best exports to Nashville. The guitar slinging Lindsay Ell. Lindsay hasn’t spent much time North the last 3 or 4 years as she has honed her amazing songwriting and killer guitar playing in Nashville. The Alberta born and raised country singer brings a whole new outlook to girls rockin the country beats. Here new single By The Way is catching traction south of the border and will likely make its way to Canadian Radio in early 2016. But take a listen to this…WOW. This is what you can expect from Lindsay in Orillia later this month I am sure of it. Be sure to crank this one up..
Next up will likely be the uber talented Brandy Clark. This girl can string together a song in her sleep it seems. Having written some great tracks for some of Country Music’s elite Miss Clark has a new album coming out in early 2016 so we are sure to see some of her new stuff along with some of her more popular stuff from her first album such as Stripes or Get High.
The woman to shut the place down will be none other than Jennifer Nettles. I would be lying if I was saying that I wasn’t excited to see Jennifer live. This would be my first time and I know after watching so much LIVE Acoustic Vidoe on YouTube her voice isn’t like anything you have ever heard. Watch this video from 2014 when Jennifer and Brandy teamed up for His Hands.. .WOW. We can only hope we get to see something like this come showtime at CasinoRama.
From the looks of things there are still some great seats left. Grab tickets to The Next Women Of Country Tour at CasinoRama on January 15th here.
We can’t wait for this one!

Ontario – A Hot Bed for Country Music Festivals in 2016
Ok so I think we can officially say that Ontario has quickly become a HOT BED for Country Music Festivals for 2016 in Canada. Seriously its unreal… With nearly 13.8 Million people in Ontario and lets say you take 3% of that population that are ticket buying country music fans. You are looking at just over 380,000 people are looking to buy tickets into an event this summer. The big question is, which one or two are they going to be spending their hard earned cash on?
Jess Moskaluke Rocks KX Country
This past Thursday night Jess Moskaluke blew the doors off the Phoenix. Well, what was left of them anyway.
Autumn Hill & Friends in Ontario
It was late November and Autumn Hill, Jason Benoit and River Town Saints played four shows on a quick little jaunt across Ontario with the first stop in Ottawa then off to Hamilton, Kitchener and London to close things out. Four fantastic nights of music. We were made it to three of the shows and well we all agreed that all were fantastic.
River Town Saints – Mason Jar Sessions
These boys may not be a house hold name YET. But let me tell you if you go see them live you will be sold immediately. They are a great group of fellas that love to have a good time. This is their first single at radio and it’s got that real cool groove to it. Get ready to crank this one up cause A Little Bit Goes A Long Way is on the rise! And please share this one, just as the title suggests a little share does go a long way.
Pick Me Up – Brett Kissel
So our good friend Brett Kissel has a new video out for his current single Pick Me Up. And we have to say it is a solid effort by Brett and his team. Bringing the Canadian Country Music video world up a level that is for sure. What do you think?
Timberlake Goes Country…
So after the absolute EPIC performance on the CMA’s last week you only knew it was a matter of time…
Well folks I am happy to report Country Music has a new addition this week.. Justin Timberlake
