Growing up in Norfolk County fall has easily become my favourite time of year, and when October rolls around my countdown for the Norfolk County Fair starts. As a child and teen I grew up going to the fair every Tuesday for Young Canada Day and cheering on my respective schools. My very first concert was Charlie Major at the fair when I was a kid. So this year having the opportunity to photograph some of my favourite country artists at a fair that I hold so near and dear to my heart was one I’ll never forget.
Hangin’ With Tim Hicks in the Falls – Part 1
So this week I had the chance to head down the QEW to Niagara Falls to hang with Tim Hicks in his Stompin Ground. We took to the mound at Oakes Park to chat about his current album Shake Theses Walls.
CCMA Awards – John Deere Green Carpet
Well after spending 3 days hunkered down in what might be the best city in Canada for Country Music we have a little something to share. We have the 2nd of our CCMA posts with some great shots of the John Deere Green Carpet. This was our first year having a presence on the carpet with Corey getting a chance to chat with the artists as they walked in. Be sure to check our video of Corey chatting with everyone HERE. However, Bill and James were also able to grab some amazing images of the artists making there way into Bud Gardens in London, Ontario.
Tim Hicks – Shake These Walls Review
Tim Hicks has been collecting fans across the great white north over the last 15+ years playing dive bars to arenas. On September 9th Tim releases his 3rd full length album Shake These Walls. We had a chance to listen to the album and damn, this one is crankin’ it up another notch. I remember chatting with Tim at Boots and Hearts and him stating that he co-wrote every song on the album which today is a tough sell to labels as they try and usually sneak in a couple outside songs. It’s so cool to witness that next step for an artists like Hicks.
Boots and Hearts kicks off bigger and better than ever!
Much of the Sound Check team, myself included, has converged on Burls Creek this weekend for one of the most important events in the history of our organization, Boots and Hearts.
Stompin’ Ground – Tim Hicks

Tim Hicks Throws It Down In Bala
In what has been an amazingly busy week of concert and festival coverage here at Sound Check Entertainment, we kept the crazy going by flying up Highway 400 to Muskoka on Saturday night. Tim Hicks returned to The KEE to Bala for his annual Summer Throwdown and man, it was CRAZY! This was a SOLD OUT show and, seriously, you could barely move within the cozy confines of The KEE.
