For concert goers (who, let’s face it, is essentially our entire readership so you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about) there are those rare and elusive nights that I like to call “Music Magic.” The fans know it; the band knows it; and as you’re leaving you can hear everyone in the audience saying a variation of the same thing: “That was unbelievable!” On August 31st at Cowboy’s Ranch in London, Ontario The Cadillac Three made music magic. 

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.

Eric Church announced the dates on his 2017 tour this morning! His North American 60+ city run, the aptly titled Holdin’ My Own Tour, will officially launch on Jan. 13, 2017 at Lincoln, Nebraska’s Pinnacle Bank Arena and will conclude with two nights at Nashville, Tennessee’s Bridgestone Arena in May. For the first time ever, there will be no support act on this tour. Eric and the ECB will play two full sets of music with an intermission in between.

So it has been a red hot summer thus far in terms of Festivals we have covered since June 1st.  Not just hot shows but the weather has been smokin’ for most of them.   I though I might take a shot at a mid summer festival recap and just do a quick review on where we have been so far in this jam filled summer of 2016.

Last Wednesday & Thursday London became the Country Music Mecha for 2 days.  #RTP2016 – Gone Country brought some of Country musics biggest names such at Brad Paisley, Jake Owen, Dallas Smith & Tim Hicks to Harris Park in downtown London, Ontario.

So we had a chance to catch up with the boys in Old Dominion this past week at Rock The Park  / Gone Country in London. It’s been awhile since we last chatted and  we would normally have video on this but unfortunately we seemed to have a few technical issues and got the audio only.   

How would you want to spend a July long weekend in Ontario?  How about jammin’ out with some of North America’s top country acts?   Trackside Music Festival kicked off its inaugural year with a splash this past weekend in London, Ontario.  

Something amazing set up shop at London’s Budweiser Gardens on Monday night. Spanning the entire 200 feet of the arena floor, the stage was set, for what I would personally say, was the show of the year thus far in London.

Canadian alternative rock icons from the 90’s, Sloan, made a stop in London on May 10th on their,”One Chord to Another”, tour. The tour is promoting their recently released box set that includes all the hits of that past 25 years. London Music Hall played host to this awesome night of music and those in the club got what they came for – Sloan, and lots of it.
