Tickets: $59.00 plus applicable fees & taxes
As a 30 year veteran of the entertainment industry, and two time CCMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Jason McCoy appears to be the king of reinvention. Racking up multiple CCMA and CMA awards along with a Gold album and CMA Global Artist Award (Nashville), Jason remains in demand on the live touring circuit, and pulls double duty at morning radio for Pure Country 106. Fans can also tune in Saturday evenings for his Nationally Syndicated radio show, Nothin’ But the Nineties on the Bell Media Network. As creator and front man of The Road Hammers, the best selling band in Canadian Country Music history, Jason took on the Country Rock genre and guided the band to unprecedented success throughout Canada and the United States, picking up a platinum album, platinum single (MUD), 3 x CCMA Group of the Year, and a Juno along the way....but music is only part of the story....
Equally at home in front of the camera as host of Smashtown (CMT Canada/USA), two seasons of CMT’s Pet Heroes, and Jason McCoy Eats America, Jason has solidified his place in the fabric of the Country Music industry.
In 2020, Jason wrote and recorded ‘We Are One’, and initiative to raise funds for Musicians in Need during the pandemic. The song and video has raised thousands of dollars for the Unison Fund, enlisting artists from all around the world, including Canada, USA, France, Greece, Australia and China.
Continuing to write and record music, Jason prizes the time he spends with his wife and two children at their home farm, just two miles from the small town of Minesing where it all began.

Sit Down Young Stranger, A Tribute To Gordon Lightfoot
Performed by Steve Rae and the Pony Man Band
A retrospective concert covering much of Gordon Lightfoot’s most popular music. Steve Rae is a Stratford/Muskoka based singer/songwriter who was greatly influenced by Lightfoot’s music. Rae discovered his music in the late 60s and performed it relentlessly, leading to his high school nickname, “Gordie”. He has performed mostly as a solo act accompanying himself on guitar but also touring with Steve Rae and Muskoka Boathouse, the Steve Rae Band and with Pony Man Band members Torbay and Holden in The Islannados. After playing a Facebook Live tribute on the passing of Gordon Lightfoot viewed by tens of thousands, these were a few of the comments:
“Thank you again, Steve, for keeping our Gordon’s music alive through your music and your voice, so like his own.” Tobermory, Ontario
“You sound just like him. Thank you so much.” St. Johns Newfoundland
“I’ve always said that you sound more like Gordon Lightfoot than he does.” Calgary, Alberta
These three musicians are donating the proceeds of this performance to the Rotary Club of Gravenhurst’s Rotary Rocks The Barge fundraising campaign to build amphitheatre seating for the Gull Lake Barge stage in Gravenhurst.

Jack Hutton & Friends
Friday, August 11, 2023
Doors open at 7:00 PM; Show begins at 7:30 PM
Tickets: $25 plus applicable fees & taxes
Jack Hutton and Friends, one of the most popular groups in the history of the Gravenhurst Opera House, is returning on Friday, August 11th, for the group’s last Farewell World Tour. That was the title of the group’s last concert in August, 2019, but the near-sell-out audience rose at the end and chanted “Stay!” until Jack returned to the microphone and promised one more concert. COVID intervened in the following summers, so Friday, August 11th, will be the return concert that Jack promised more than three years ago. The program will include vintage tunes from the 1920s and 1930s that audiences have loved in the past. There will be at least two opportunities for the audience to sing along, including Vera Lynn’s World War II hit song, "We’ll Meet Again". The evening will be an opportunity to help Jack celebrate his 90th birthday, a milestone which he finds difficult to believe. To recognize becoming an octogenarian, Jack has produced with the help of a musical friend, Darryl Hollingsworth, a DVD with recorded highlights of his playing over the years. That will include performing at a ragtime festival on the Mississippi River in 1983 with the Rainbow Gardens Jazz Orchestra and performing decades later at the Gravenhurst Opera House decades later with Jack Hutton and Friends. Brian Bauer, known as “Dr. Jazz” in Buffalo for many years, will be bringing his own microphone with Scall letters of a forgotten radio station, along with some of the world’s worst jokes. Will Wilson, who played with Jack in the Rainbow Gardens Jazz Orchestra, will also be on stage. He is one of the few banjo players, who has played Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with a classical orchestra. Ric Giorgi, the bass player for Jack Hutton and Friends, led the Rainbow Gardens Jazz Orchestra all through the 1980s and early 1990s.

“Stay calm and shanty on”
A lot has happened in the almost 10 years since Séan McCann exited the Canadian folk rock arena filling GREAT BIG SEA he co-founded in 1993. He’s released five successful solo albums touching on a range of subjects from Canadian life and culture to spotlighting national hardships like the infamous 2016 wildfires that devastated Fort McMurray, Alberta, in which he partnered with the Canadian Red Cross.

In recognition of these efforts and his other advocacy work for people living with mental health and addiction issues, McCann earned the Order of Canada in 2020 McCann has shared his powerful and inspiring personal story and songs with audiences all across North America over the past decade as a solo performer and musical keynote speaker. As the concert trail is opening up again as pandemic restrictions loosen, McCann continues to do what loves best, write and perform songs and share stories accompanied by his best friend “Old Brown” - the first guitar he purchased back in 1989.
