What a way to start off the new year. Tim Hicks started his “Shake these Walls” 2017 tour started in BC & is currently in Ontario. Tim performed in Hamilton on Jan 19, Oshawa on Jan 20, London tonight and then on to Sudbury Ontario. We are very excited to have Tim back in Ontario along with two other local artists: River Town Saints & Jason Blaine! Hang in Ontario; you’re in for heck of a party. Sound Check was fortunate to catch up with all the boys in at the Tribute Centre in Oshawa.
Jason Blaine brings the Three’s A Party Tour home to Ottawa
Ok so Ottawa is a few hours drive east of home for Jason Blaine but, as he put it, it’s as close as he was going to get to bringing his Three’s A Party tour to Pembroke, Ontario. Jason is currently touring Canada with Tebey and James Otto.
Three’s A Party Tour brings it in Kitchener
So Wednesday night I made my way down to Kitchener, Ontario to catch the #ThreesAParty tour that had a stop at Dallas Night Club. The last time I was at this venue was for the WTLGD tour with Chad Brownlee, Jess Moskaluke & Bobby Wills.
Jason Blaine – Spotlight
Jason Blaine is hitting the road this week on the Three’s A Party tour with Tebey and James Otto. We have teamed up with the boys for the tour so watch for lots of behind the scenes stuff and exclusive content from the tour. In the meantime crank up Jason’s current single Spotlight. And don’t be shy request it at your local Radio Station. Or if you see fit the Country Station that’s across the country. Good music has no borders…
Hendrik’s Top Country Artists to Watch in 2016
After reading through Corey’s top 10 artists to watch in 2016 I started thinking of who I would put in that list. There are definitely similarities between my 10 and Corey’s, as you will see. 2015 has been a big year for Canadian country music from the tour perspective with all the major players hitting the road, Dallas Smith started the year with his hugely successful “Tippin’ Point Tour” featuring Sundy Best and now this fall Dean Brody and Paul Brandt just wrapped up their “Road Trip Tour”, Brett Kissel and Jordan McIntosh are currently on the road with their “Airwaves Tour” and Tebey kicks off his “Three’s A Party Tour” with Jason Blaine and James Otto on Friday in Halifax and to cap off the year Tim Hicks is hitting the road with Cold Creek County and Jason Benoit for their “Get A Little Crazy Tour”. Notice something missing? Out of all the tours above only the “Road Trip Tour” featured tomatoes as an added ingredient with Lindi Ortega, Jess Moskaluke, Madeline Merlo and Whitney Rose featured throughout the tour.
So let’s take a look at who I think has the greatest chance of breaking out in the coming year, 2016.
