Country Wild to welcome US #1 Hit Songwriter & 2018 Music Row “Independent Artist of the Year” CJ SOLAR
With the fuel of both Southern rock and country music influences pumping through his veins, it’s no surprise that CJ Solar is a natural at fusing the two worlds.

Already turning heads throughout Nashville, Baton Rouge and beyond, having been named one of the“New Artists You Need To Know” by Rolling Stone Country, Solar says the driving force behind his untimely success isn’t fame nor fortune – it’s just a diehard infatuation with the music he grew up on.

Hollywood Vampires, Nothing to Fear at Casino Rama
Friday evening, The Hollywood Vampires brought their show to Casino Rama in Orillia. When my editor messaged me some time ago and asked, “Do you want to shoot The Hollywood Vampires?”, I could hardly type my answer fast enough!
