More about our performers

Rudy & Saddle Up - June 22nd at Verona Lions Club

Eastern Ontario’s ROCKIN’ PARTY band, that ROCKS the stage with their high energy blend of HOT new country and southern rock.

Rudy has been heating up the stage with his live performances since 2000.The trajectory of Rudy's popularity soared from 2003 - 2007 with solo shows at regional jamborees, charity events, and local clubs.

This led to numerous collaborations with some of Eastern Ontario's top bands, birthing the incredible band we know today as Rudy & Saddle Up, a ride you won't want to miss!

Hoozhear? - July 20th at Gilmour's Point Beach in Battersea
“HoozHear?” musicians on stage change often depending on the needs of the other performers and who is available for a gig, hence the name. This award-winning band of young musicians cover 10 decades of music, and between the 9 band members, play 50 instruments.
The Sleeping Dogs - August 17th at The Point in Sydenham 
Sleeping dogs are an acoustic guitar duo. They play folk, country, alternative and classic rock songs focusing on songs that everyone knows and can sing along to. Their philosophy is that if they are having fun on stage, then the crowd will have fun as well. They have been playing around the Kingston, Picton and Napanee region since 2022.

Come out and show our musicians some South Frontenac support!
