Growing up in Norfolk County fall has easily become my favourite time of year, and when October rolls around my countdown for the Norfolk County Fair starts. As a child and teen I grew up going to the fair every Tuesday for Young Canada Day and cheering on my respective schools. My very first concert was Charlie Major at the fair when I was a kid. So this year having the opportunity to photograph some of my favourite country artists at a fair that I hold so near and dear to my heart was one I’ll never forget.
Lucknow’s Music in the Fields closes out the Summer
We wrapped up our summer festival season this past weekend with Lucknow’s Music in the Fields takeover of Graceland in Lucknow Ontario. There is no denying that this home grown festival deserves some serious recognition for not only bringing stellar lineups year after year but also for their involvement in the beautiful community of Lucknow. The Lucknow Kinsmen are a non-profit community organization and all money raised by initiatives like Lucknow’s Music in the Fields goes right back into their community to support charities, hospitals, schools and other various community projects. Over the past 9 years the Lucknow Kinsmen have been able to donate over 1 million dollars back into their community. A small town festival with HUGE heart if you ask us!

Tim Hicks – Shake These Walls Review
Tim Hicks has been collecting fans across the great white north over the last 15+ years playing dive bars to arenas. On September 9th Tim releases his 3rd full length album Shake These Walls. We had a chance to listen to the album and damn, this one is crankin’ it up another notch. I remember chatting with Tim at Boots and Hearts and him stating that he co-wrote every song on the album which today is a tough sell to labels as they try and usually sneak in a couple outside songs. It’s so cool to witness that next step for an artists like Hicks.
