TD Harbour Nights: Bradley Hale
2025-08-10 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | Marine Rail Museum, 1155 1st Ave W,, Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada
Bradley Hale grew up in small town Ontario in and around the town of Elmira. Spend anytime there and you’re bound to hear the sweet sounds of country music pumping from pickup trucks and tractors, over speakers at a backyard barbecue, or even from the hockey change room. Combine that with a rich family history of both farming and music, and you get an artist that’s steeped in country roads and country music.
Bradley learned to play and sing at a young age. Influenced by Eric Church, Zach Bryan and Riley Green, combined with a love of John Mayer, he has crafted a sound that is familiar yet completely unique.
These rich influences are weaved together with his own experiences and strong hometown, backroads style finding their way into his songwriting, co-writing, and recording. With his big warm baritone country voice Bradley delivers heart-rendering ballads as well as driving country rockers.
Bradley earned a spot in this years highly coveted Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist show case as well as opening for Cooper Alan at the Kee to Bala this summer. He adds this to his resume of notable live performances including several shows with Owen Riegling as well opening spots for James Barker Band, Steven Lee Olsen, Jason Blaine and others.
In Bradley’s first 10 months of releasing music he has garnered the attention of notable Apple Music editorial playlists “Canada’s Country Best of 2024” end of year playlist, “Country Hits Unplugged”, “New in Country”, “Canada’s Country”, “Country Risers” and “Country Lovin” while accumulating over 250K streams across platforms Bradley’s dream is to bring his heartfelt songs and love of country music to audiences here and everywhere.

Vulva Forest Walk
2025-08-09 10:00 - 2025-08-10 17:00 | Markdale
Imagine walking through a pristine forest and seeing a plethora of vulva creations
on your journey. This is a transformative experience you don’t want to miss.
Vulva Forest Walk, Walter’s Falls – On August 9 & 10th, between 10-5 pm, Fran Bouwman, founder/creator of Viva la
Flying Vulva, is hosting over 15 esteemed artists, musicians, and performance artists to reclaim the importance of the
vulva. The erasure of this word has had profound effects on women’s health, esteem and sexuality. This event is a
reclamation of women’s holistic intelligence, beauty, wisdom and power.
Bouwman’s work will feature the vulva in all four elements, earth, air, fire and water. A 20ft floating vulva balloon
sculpture will be centered above the Oxytocin Flow Dance performed by Sharon Johnson and Dana Burmaster.
“The Spirit of the Vulva”
, a fire sculpture commemorates women who have come before us.
“The Spirit of the Vulva”
invites guests to sit in silence and reflect on the historical significance of the vulva, as well as their own thoughts and
feelings on vulva awareness, sensuality, sexuality and esteem.
Bouwman has chosen to display this collection of vulva art in nature, in hopes that walking through an enchanting forest
will create a deep and soulful connection to the sacred and miraculous part of the female anatomy.
This event is inclusive and everyone is welcome. There is an added outdoor space for enjoying vulva waffles, stick-on
vulva tattoos, a vulva bean bag toss, and a circle for conversation and dialogue. Viva la Flying Vulva merchandise will be
available – T-shirts, ball caps and colouring books. There is no entrance fee but donations for the charity are welcomed.
Refreshments will be provided. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own water bottles

After forming in 2000 and stepping away in 2012, the West Coast Tribal Electro-funk band, The Wassabi Collective, spent over a decade crisscrossing Canada in a converted school bus, building a devoted cult following along the way. Known for their progressive world beats, explosive live shows, and infectious feel-good energy, the band lit up stages.
Led by sultry vocalist/percussionist Melissa Meretsky and frontman/guitarist Brent “Gisto” Hongisto, Wassabi brings both heart and heat — inviting audiences to move, think, and feel. After more than a decade away, they’re making their long-awaited return with the same electrifying energy and spirit of activism that made them live favorites.
Locals Rajasi, pronounced Rah-Jah-See, “In Passion” will open the evening. This high energy fun group plays groovy Pop/Rock/Reggae.

The Daniel Lanois Trio at Meaford Hall
2025-08-07 19:30 - 2025-08-08 21:30 | Meaford Hall, 12 Nelson St E, Meaford, ON, Canada
August 7th and 8th

Daniel Lanois is a name that deserves to be mentioned alongside the finest sonic experimenters of the 20th century – and the 21st century too. Yes, he’s been willing to step back into the background as others take the limelight, but that shouldn’t diminish his contribution, which ripples throughout practically every style and sound of the modern era.
Whatever you’re listening to – whether it be acoustic or electronic, roots or futurist, underground or pop – if you listen closely, you’ll hear traces of the sonic signatures of Daniel Lanois. And what’s more he’s still experimenting as eagerly as he ever has. At a point when most musicians with anything resembling his level of success would be resting on their laurels and playing on old successes, he still has more hunger for the new than people a third his age, and as a result is creating music as beautiful and new as ever before.
“The road is calling as the music keeps on guiding me through the labyrinths of song, messages and inventions”. As music rides the airwaves, we continue to troubadour our way to the stage for that exchange we love; ‘live performance’.
The Lanois Trio all started on the outskirts of Berlin in a small chapel, 3-part harmony with my mates Jermaine Holmes on drums and vocals, the mighty Jim Wilson on bass and vocals, Lanois on guitar and vocals. The chapel acoustics were such that the vocals sounded beautiful, we chose to keep our instruments quiet and let the vocals fill the night. More to come from this dynamic configuration, by live shows and otherwise.
The more I travel, the more it all bleeds together, record making, radio, Internet, tv, festivals, Life itself and of course SINGING
“The original instrument, that being the voice, is alive and will in this trio configuration.” – DL

2025-08-06 12:00 - 14:00 | Georgian Shores United Church, 997 4th Ave E, Owen Sound, ON, Canada
This year will be the 30th anniversary of the annual Noon Hour Series – an inclusive weekly summer celebration of music in our community. For most of the years, Georgian Shores United Church at 4th Ave and 10th Street East in Owen Sound has opened its doors each Wednesday afternoon in July and August to welcome this inclusive, multi-generational concert series.
Originally organized and developed by Joachim Ostertag with support from his family, this past two years Kelda Mikalson, a local singer and music teacher, has coordinated the series.
The organizers of the Noon Hour Series and Georgian Shores United Church believe that music is for sharing.
“If you have been shy to attend indoor concerts in the past because they seem so formal and full of mysterious rules, we’ve got you. Come and relax in the cool, eat your lunch, move to the music, cheer when you enjoy a passage, whatever feels good.”
Children are encouraged to attend. Whether you have a penny or a 50 to contribute we’d love to see you there at any or all of the concerts.

Suzie has a voice you’ve heard a thousand times and one you’ll never forget. It soars, it growls, it whispers and it shouts from a deep, deep well of emotion. The pure joy she exudes when she plays her guitars is so worth the show.
In May 2024, Suzie performed at the Teatro Nazionale in Genova, Italy, as a guest of Italian acoustic guitarist and singer Beppe Gambetta and she also performed at the Baltic Blues Festival in Eutin, Germany. In July 2024 Suzie and her band opened for Burton Cummings at the Kemptville Live Music Festival; she also appeared as a special guest of Blackie & the Rodeo Kings at Ottawa Bluesfest in 2023, performing alongside Daniel Lanois. She has also toured nationally with Downchild, Stuart McLean’s The Vinyl Café, with ASV (Charlie A’Court, Lloyd Spiegel and Vinnick), the John McDermott Band and she performed for Canadian Peacekeepers in Bosnia and the Persian Gulf.

Blues and jazz-tinged guitar licks ride on the muscle-car rumble of a well-oiled rhythm section, while howls and sweet harmonies fill the back seat.

Grab your basket, tie up your hood and take a trip with Big Bad Wolf!
