When four teenagers from Cornwall decided to start a rock band in the late eighties, they never imagined the success their band, the Barstool Prophets, would gain in North America just a few years later.

The much anticipated lineup for the 2017 edition of Lucknow Music in the Fields was announced this morning.  Leading the 2017 lineup are Jake Owen, Tom Cochrane and Red Rider and Tim Hicks.

The lighting was stellar, the sound was amazing and the performance was no less than what you would expect from someone as big as Tom Cochrane and his Mad Mad World Tour. Even the opening act, Meghan Patrick was most welcoming.

Joel and Bill Plaskett rolled into the NAC in Ottawa this past Saturday for their third stop on their tour for Solidarity, the latest release in Plaskett’s catalog. Even a broken-down van didn’t slow down this crew as they launched into their hour-and-forty-minute show after Mayhemingways from Peterborough, Ontario, opened the night with thirty minutes of 2-piece-band glory, displaying a full spectrum of grooves and moods.

It was one of the coldest nights we’ve had in Toronto all year, and ticket goers still managed to brace the weather for the sold-out Passenger show at REBEL.

Our good friends the River Town Saints kicked off 2017 on the road with Tim Hicks as part of his Shake These Walls tour. Tonight at their final stop on the tour in Sudbury, Ontario the boys made a special announcement for their fans in Ottawa.

Last month the CMAO launched a contest in conjunction with Brett Kissel and Invictus Entertainment that would give a number of lucky Ontario musicians the opportunity to open for Brett on his upcoming ‘Ice, Snow and 30 Below Tour’.  There were easily hundreds, if not thousands of entries from prospective artists itching for the opportunity to perform with Brett. Now we know who it will be….

So Tebey is about to embark on his First Come, First Served tour that kicks off in Ontario on October 13th at the Music Hall in Oshawa. This tour is fueled by the fine folks over at Coors Banquet Beer. And how appropriate would it be to release a killer new single “Old School” just before you hit the road.  And to cap it all off how about a video re-capping the incredible summer of music.   Check it out.  And be sure to catch Tebey at any of the upcoming shows.  We may just have a few VIP Experiences up our sleeves so stay TUNED!

The dust has finally settled and I almost feel back to normal.  The week long CCMA Hangover has subsided and we have managed to put together some amazing photos from the night.   Both Bill and James did a fantastic job of capturing the nights moments.   Let’s kick things off with what James captured.
