1997 was an epic year. The Simpsons was named the longest-running prime-time animated series, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and Tiger Woods became the youngest golfer to ever win the Masters. In Canada, fans of award-winning The Tea Party were celebrating the release of the band’s fourth studio album, Transmission.

It may have been cool outside on the shores of Lake Ontario in Kingston, Ontario but the atmosphere inside the Rogers K-Rock Centre was red hot as Kip Moore, Jon Pardi and Meghan Patrick brought the party to town with Kip’s Me and My Kind Tour.

As the sun started to set, the black curtain was pulled down and the boys were back, less than 2 years away from their last Bluesfest, Boston’s Dropkick Murphys hit the stage. They brought a whole lot of energy, just guessing, but the next few days may not have the same energy or security at the front of the stage for that matter.

It was an unusually stormy late summer Saturday night in Kingston and mere moments before the annual CFB Kingston Garrison Family Fun Fest, featuring Abby Stewart and Tim Hicks, was about to kick off the entire venue was evacuated due to a severe thunderstorm. Lucky for us the CFB Kingston Base Gym was a short hundred meter dash in the driving rain away.  A little under an hour later the rain stopped and the stage lights came on….it was showtime!

Tim Hicks will be returning to eastern Ontario for a special performance at CFB Kingston as part of the annual Garrison Family Fun Fest next Saturday September 10!

Although we’ve known about the Kip Moore dates in Ontario for a while now it was announced this morning that Meghan Patrick would be joining Kip and Jon Pardi for these dates.

The Tragically Hip are Canada’s musical equivalent to maple syrup and only 8 days remain until the boys from Kingston rock out potentially one final time (if you’re an eternal optimist). You can consider yourself practically a lottery winner if you have seen or are going to see one of the four final shows.  I  haven’t won the “lottery” for this final tour, but I am a Hip fan to the core.

SATE, the fifty first state. Where the status quo, inhibitions, and rules do not apply. Everyone should spend time with SATE, to reenergize their world.

It has just been announced that Canadian Rock/Pop stars Hedley will headline North Bay Summer in The Park’s Friday night on July 29.
