🎶 Featured Artists
Midnight Blue
Since 1989, Midnight Blue has been the driving sound behind Wiarton and Grey/Bruce celebrations, filling community halls, street dances, and special events with high-energy Classic Rock, Roadhouse/Outlaw Country, Blues, and a dash of Celtic flair. Their decades of experience and crowd-pleasing style have earned them a loyal following across generations.
Jesse Corrigan and Amber May
Jesse Corrigan is a folk musician and singer-songwriter based in Grey County, Ontario. His love of music began early, picking up the guitar at age 10 after learning a few chords on his mom’s old nylon-string guitar. With an A, D, and E chord under his fingers—and “Amazing Grace” mastered—there was no turning back. Drawn to the storytelling tradition of folk music, Jesse’s songwriting blends narrative depth with touches of humour and lyrical wit. Over the years, he has performed at venues and festivals across Canada and has shared the stage with some of the country’s finest musicians.
When he’s not making music, Jesse feels most at home outdoors—exploring the Canadian wilderness or honing his skills as a carpenter. No matter where you find him, chances are he’s singing.
Amber May is a Folk Americana singer-songwriter celebrated for her captivating storytelling and emotionally resonant songs. She has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including Juno Award winner Celeigh Cardinal and internationally traveled musician Jim White. Her original songs, “Daisies” and “Drink On It,” have received significant radio airplay on stations such as 98.7 The Bruce, 95.1 The Peak, and 91.3 Blue Water Radio. Amber’s work has also drawn critical praise, with reviews of “Reckless” and “Daisies” featured in the Winter 2023 edition of Rrampt Magazine. As her audience continues to grow, Amber remains committed to creating heartfelt music that connects deeply with listeners.
Paige Warner
Paige Warner’s voice is often what draws people in. “Paige is very much a modern pop singer-songwriter…but there’s something unmistakably timeless about her sound.” (Rrampt). While her music is catchy and emotive, her lyrics often touch poetically on themes of heartbreak, female resilience, and love. With her brand new album, Bitter/Sweet, Paige Warner plans to continue creating intimate concert experiences, sharing vulnerability through folk-like storytelling, and having fun with catchy pop hooks, all while leaving audiences with a memorable connection and a melody.
Kenzy and Olivia
Cousins “Kenzy & Olivia” are talented singer/songwriters, both born and raised on the Bruce Peninsula. The combination of Kenzy’s strong powerful vocal and songwriting skills and Olivia’s incredible ability to hear harmonies, provides the duo with a unique sound that captivates audiences. Their voices blend together so well, people often mistake them for sisters.
The duo has just made semi-finals for the International Songwriting Competition based out of Nashville Tennessee with they’re previous single “Kill You In A Heartbeat” and have high hopes for their new single “Pretend” which was recorded locally at Wallsdown studios this spring and continues to highlight Kenzy & Olivia’s angsty alt rock style.
Grey Road 1
Named after the childhood home of front man Fred Dawson, Grey Road 1 has been igniting Concert Halls, Festivals, Pubs and Theatres across Ontario for over a decade.
With a sound that blends the raw energy of classic rock, the groove of funk, and the soulful blues, this band delivers an unforgettable musical experience. Formed in 2012, Grey Road 1 has two powerhouse lead guitars, and a rhythm section that is sure to create Shock and Awe. This high energy, electrifying band, is not one to miss.
Alison MacGregor and JD Crosstown
Alison MacGregor is a Canadian country musician known as one half of The MacGregor Two, a classic country duo performing with her father, Scott MacGregor. Raised in Clavering, Ontario in a musical family, Alison developed her strong harmony singing and guitar skills early on through church choir and family jam sessions. Together with her dad she brings a blend of classic country sounds and light-hearted performance to venues across southern Ontario, drawing inspiration from traditional country styles while earning recognition in the regional music scene. In 2023 she was honored with the Marie Bottrell Female Entertainer of the Year award, and The MacGregor Two received the Millpond Music Duo of the Year award. Alison has also performed alongside other well-known artists and shared her music beyond Canada, including touring in Germany.

JD Crosstown is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music weaves together the roots of folk, country, and blues. Hailing from Neyaashiinigmiing (Chippewas of Nawash Territory) in Ontario, Crosstown picked up the guitar at an early age, nurtured by the sounds and stories of his family and community. What began as a local passion has grown into a lifelong artistic journey, leading to performances across Canada and Europe with a growing reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. Crosstown’s live performances are marked by their emotional intimacy and technical skill. Whether performing solo or collaborating with fellow musicians, JD Crosstown continues to build a reputation as a compelling storyteller and skilled musician. His work is grounded in tradition, yet unafraid to explore new sonic territory—making him an artist to watch in the evolving landscape of contemporary music.
