We wrapped up our summer festival season this past weekend with Lucknow’s Music in the Fields takeover of Graceland in Lucknow Ontario. There is no denying that this home grown festival deserves some serious recognition for not only bringing stellar lineups year after year but also for their involvement in the beautiful community of Lucknow. The Lucknow Kinsmen are a non-profit community organization and all money raised by initiatives like Lucknow’s Music in the Fields goes right back into their community to support charities, hospitals, schools and other various community projects. Over the past 9 years the Lucknow Kinsmen have been able to donate over 1 million dollars back into their community. A small town festival with HUGE heart if you ask us!
Hangin’ with The Washboard Union @ CMT Music Fest
I had a chance to hang out with the fellas in The Washboard Union last weekend while we were at CMT Music Fest. We chatted about the new single Shot of Glory as well as the the multiple dates they have this summer playing festivals across Canada. Check it out below.
Washboard Union – Mason Jar Session – Shot of Glory
If you haven’t heard about these boys yet your head must be in the sand. Washboard Union a trio out of Vancouver, BC were in Toronto a couple weeks back and we thought it would be great to get them to do a Mason Jar Session. So we managed to track them down thanks to Mr. Caven and the fellas cranked out a couple songs for us.
