Tell, Nashville based country rocker, Kip Moore a few years ago that he’d sell out two shows in Ottawa, Ontario and he’d probably think you were crazy. If anyone ever had a doubt that Moore’s fan base in Ontario, even in Ottawa, was strong those doubts were silenced last night as Kip along with guests Fairground Saints and Drake White & The Big Fire rocked to a packed house at Algonquin Commons Theatre in Ottawa, the first stop of an 8 night Ontario tour.

Hot on the heels of his sold out southern leg of his Plead the Fifth Tour which wrapped up in December Kip Moore has announced he’s bringing the tour to Canada for a nationwide tour in support of his latest album Slowheart . 

It was an eventful Canadian Music Week this year in Toronto for us! Sound Check Entertainment had the opportunity to chat 1-on-1 with Canadian country singer Alee!

So a couple weeks back I had the chance to catch up with one of my favourite “Emerging Artists”.  To be honest Drake White has been workin’ the clubs for awhile now but he is about to release his debut full length album Spark.   Check out what Drake had to say about putting the new album together, and playing the festivals this summer.  And don’t be shy,  be sure to pre-order Spark HERE.

If you don’t already have your tickets to what should be one of the best festivals this summer in Ontario here is your chance.   

So people seemed to like what was suggested last week for my inaugural Barn Burners… Well it’s week #2 and boy do I have a couple really strong offerings this week.
