If you’ve been, you know the weather here never plays nice. This year was no different ... Friday brought storms, and the weekend turned into two of the hottest days of the summer so far. But hey, that’s all part of the festival magic, right? Mud, sweat, country music ... and more sweat. Boots and Hea...

Send us a text Pat Kordyback discovered his voice after losing interest in hockey and skateboarding. Learning to sing in his teens, Pat was inspired by the sounds of motown, which would foreshadow a little ‘doo wop’ in his future. Getting together with Miles Holmwood, Robert Chalifoux, Daniel Johnson, and Aaron Verdonk, Pat would spend his early 20’s as the frontman for Canadian pop punk rock band Stereos. The band blew up after being featured on Much Music’s “disBAND”, and winning over Gene ...

Send us a text On this week’s episode of On The Porch, we’re hanging out with Canadian country artist Melissa Livingstone, and let’s just say—this conversation is as fun as it is heartwarming.

It all started when Lucas went viral on TikTok for his performance at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto w...

Send us a text We spent release day with Jess Moskaluke as she celebrated her first single in over a year.
