Top 20 Moments of 2017
As we say farewell to another year we thought it would be fun to look back at 20 (in no particular order) of our favourite moments, in pictures, from across Canada.

Muse lights up Day 9 with incredible show at RBC Bluesfest
Day 9 of RBC Bluesfest finally brought some much needed sun and warm temperatures to Lebreton Flats. Along with the summer weather large crowds also descended on the park for anticipated performances by Wide Mouth Mason, Xavier Rudd and MUSE.
The Lumineers bring Cleopatra back to Ottawa
The Lumineers graced Ottawa with their presence for the second time within a year promoting their latest album Cleopatra, this time in freezing cold March weather compared to last summer’s rainy and sweaty Bluesfest show, and brought along two fantastic bands to open with.
Eli Young Band not a Gamble at Casino Rama….
A little bit of Texas came to Canada! The Eli Young Band took a right turn into southern Ontario for a couple of shows this week. So glad they did.
Getting to know Leanne Pearson
As I write this day 2 of Boots and Hearts is well underway and 8 tensions are likely starting to grow between 8 emerging artists set to take to the Front Porch Stage Saturday afternoon all vying to be chosen for the coveted opening spot for Thomas Rhett on Sunday afternoon. One of the top 8 is Winnipeg Manitoba’s Leanne Pearson. In less then two years, Leanne has had one single hit Top 50, “Get Outta My Heart”, and one single hit Top 90, “The Only Thing”. Leanne shows that there are no limits to an Independent Canadian Country Girl. We had the chance to chat with her a few months back about her career to date and what it meant to be chosen for the top 8 at Boots and Hearts.
