Kemptville Live Music Festival was absent from the musical landscape for the last two years due to pandemic restrictions, and they were missed very much. This volunteer run festival has become a must-see event in eastern Ontario. Over the years, they have brought us some of the biggest names in music, both Canadian and International.
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!
Washboard Union shines through rain on first day of Festival Country de Lotbinière
To say that we’ve been anticipating the 2017 Festival Country de Lotbinière for a while would be a massive understatement. We’ve been watching this festival develop from the sidelines and hearing stories about the country crazy crowds in Quebec from our friends the River Town Saints and Cory Marquardt so when the opportunity finally arose for us to actually make the trip east to the village of St. Agapit it felt like forever before this weekend finally arrived.
