Cool temperatures and wet weather couldn’t stop a good time at Cavendish Beach Music Festival 2016!
#RTP2016 – Gone Country Edition…
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.
Hangin’ with Old Dominion, Again…
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.
Country Music is Coming to London, ON in a BIG way!
Hard to believe we are only 4.5 months away from the Canadian Country Music Association Awards show in London, Ontario. But hold your horses, They have so much more coming to London before we can even talk about September.
Barn Burners – March 11
Another week has come and gone and I have had a few new songs thrown my way this week a couple you may find familiar and a couple you will likely have never heard before.
Top 10 Reasons you won’t want to miss Gone Country
So Gone Country in London is set to celebrate year number three of the Country portion of Rock The Park. And we thought it might be fun to put together a top ten list of why you wouldn’t want to miss this years event. So here it is…
10. As the country music genre continues to explode Gone Country is bringing you some of the best of what Canadian and US Country music has to offer all for $109 + Tax for 2 days of AMAZING Country Music!
9. The Fact that River Town Saints are playing the Molson Canadian Side Stage for two days that’s worth the cost of admission alone because these boys know how to bring a party!

8. With Autumn Hill taking part in their first Gone Country event and knowing what kind of set these guys put out we know it will be a heck of a kick off to either night.

7. Did we mention that the boys from High Valley are going to be there? One of Canada’s hottest duo’s in the industry with hits like County Line, Make You Mine and current hit rocking the charts Come On Down we know they will bring a party to Gone Country in 2016!

6. With Snapback flying up the charts and after witnessing the Old Dominion show on a couple of occasions last summer the boys from OD will be ready to rock Harris Park. Get ready for this set folks.

5. We know for a fact that Tim Hicks puts on a heck of a show and never disappoints his fans and the fact that he hasn’t played may shows in 2016 or have many announced we think that London is in for a treat with Tim and possibly some new music!

4. With Dallas Smith hitting the stage for a 2nd time and we know the fans loved him you really couldn’t ask for a better performer to hit the Gone Country Stage…

3. So we know there is one more Mystery artist to be added and we love mysteries. I would be inclined to buy my ticket before that Mystery artist gets announced. Yup before it sells out!
2. The always entertaining Brad Paisley will be sure to light up the night in July there is no doubt about that…
1. JAKE OWEN BABY… Yup Mr. Barefoot Bluejean Night, Days of Gold and Real Life hitmaker is going to headline his very first Canadian Headline show in London, Ontario. And if you haven’t seen Jake in concert you won’t want to miss him.

Well the cats out of the bag it is going to be another HOT summer in Toronto down at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre. The 2016 Country Mega Ticket announcement came out this morning. We know with Luke playing 2 dates with Little Big Town and not playing any of the other festivals this summer will likely be the MOST WANTED ticket. Who are you most excited to see?

In Conversation with Old Dominion
Well another week has passed and Boots and Hearts is still likely still a strong memory. Well how about catching up with Old Dominion before they hit the stage at the massively successful Coors Light Banquet Kickoff Party. The boys did a hell of job on stage and we were happy they gave us some time to chat.
