The Road Trip Tour starts in just over a week and fittingly Paul Brandt has released the official music video for his latest single “I’m an Open Road” which features 2015 (and 2014) CCMA Female Artist of the Year Jess Moskaluke.  Jess will join Dean Brody and Paul Brandt for a few stops on the Road Trip Tour starting later this month.

The Maritimes went country over the last few days as the best of the best of Canadian country music invaded Halifax. The party started early in the week with numerous showcase events put on by various labels and agencies to help showcase their stars and rising stars and it all was capped off with the Canadian Country Music Association Awards, the final of which was held last night at the Scotiabank Centre and aired on CBC Television.

So we have a few folks out in Halifax covering Country Music Week.  We have our first load of pictures to post.   Here is the first batch from the Kitchen Party on Friday Night.  It was a rockin’ night that people on the East Coast won’t soon forget! `

There’s no denying that the summer of 2015 was an incredible one for live entertainment with stellar line-ups at veteran festivals and even the addition of a few new ones including Way Home, Bestival, Capital Country Fest @ Spencerville Stampede to name just a few. Well hold onto your hats because fall 2015 is going to be even hotter and it all kicks off later this week, here’s our look ahead to some of the hottest events and tours still to come before we say farewell to 2015.

This past weekend we had a chance to spend 2 days in the small town of Lucknow, Ontario.  For those of you not sure where this quaint little town is.   Lucknow is located just over an hour North-West of Kitchener/ Waterloo.  Before I get started we want to thank all the amazing volunteers who put this fantastic weekend together.  With over 600+ volunteers pulling together to make this my personal favourite of the busy summer season.  This was our 2nd year making the 1h 35min drive to take in some of Country’s biggest names.

Well, as we all know the summer is coming to a close and there aren’t many festivals left on the calendar.  However one of my favourite events of the year is a mere 3 days away.  Lucknow MITF kicks off its 7th year on Friday night with another fantastic weekend of country music lined up.

Well, it’s just as the headline says it was.  Last night was one hell of Kickoff Party for Boots & Hearts at their new home in Oro-Medonte.

We are less than a week away from Boots & Hearts kicking off its 4th Year.  This year we celebrate in a new home.  Burls Creek is the new home to Boots & Hearts and its little sister WayHome Music & Arts Festival.  We wanted to give you the top 5 reasons you won’t want to miss this years Boots & Hearts Coors Banquet Kick Off Party!

So next week London, Ontario turns into one of Ontario’s go to destinations for concert goer’s of all types.

Jones Entertainment Group has put together another amazing year of Rock The Park as well as the 2nd Year for the expanded Gone Country Music Festival.  Now as most of you know I am a die-hard country music buff so this is one of the key festivals for me this summer and with the final lineup being confirmed just a couple of weeks ago due to Little Big Town having to pull out due to some medical issues within the band.   Here is what Brad and his team have lined up for entertainment.

So…

With the loss of Little Big Town to their line up it seems that Brad Jones and the crew at Jones Entertainment Group were going to have to go back to the well and figure out what they could get in place of such a high-profile band for the 2nd Annual Gone Country Music Festival being held in London, Ontario July 16 & 17th.
