#Country4FortMac
Sometimes the stars align and things just seem to be perfect and nothing can knock that feeling away. Well last Thursday night in Toronto all the country stars you could think of showed up and played one of the best venues in the city in support of the relief efforts for Fort McMurray. It was honestly one of the coolest and intimate experiences I have had in a long time. Along with raising just over $17,000 for the cause. #Country4FortMac
A very proud moment, and a disappointment #MondayMusings
Sometimes I just need to sit back and recall that just 6 summers ago I started Sound Check Entertainment, almost by accident. The traction it received from festivals and events across Ottawa and Ontario almost immediately was mind blowing but nothing compares to the feeling this week as we stage a massive benefit for Fort McMurray in Toronto on Thursday called “Bright Lights, Big Country”.

Boots and Hearts Pre-Game Party – Toronto
KX Country and Boots & Hearts teamed up to bring the biggest Country Show to CMW. With the likes of red hot Meghan Patrick and a band that had by far one of the best performances of last years Boots and Hearts Festival with Blackjack Billy taking the headlining honours. For those of you that were part of that 30,000+ Kick off party you will know that the boys in BJB tore the roof off the Front Porch stage on that beautiful Thursday night.
Hangin’ with Meghan Patrick
It was about a year ago that I witnessed the talent of Meghan Patrick LIVE during Canadian Music Week at the Supermarket. Small intimate show with about 50 ppl in attendance or so. Today, Meghan releases her debut album Grace & Grit through Warner Music Canada. I had a chance to catch up with Meghan earlier this week to chat a bit about the album. Here is that conversation.
Canadian Music Week Must See Shows…
Over the last couple years I have been able to take in a few of the shows that happen during Canadian Music Week. This year is no different. We have plans to take in at least 8 or 9 of the shows happening over the 7 days in May (May 2-8) in various venues across Toronto. Lets start off with a little about CMW.
