#Tristan Horncastle

[soundcheckentertainment]

On two other occasions, the audience at the Joshua Bates Centre, in Athens Ontario saw a star in the making. They knew they had made a connection with a lad who was going places and they would be able to say they “knew him when”.  This happened for the third time on Saturday, January 28th when Tristan Horncastle performed for them. This personable, down to earth Maritimer did an acoustic show accompanied by guitarist Brad Bailey.  We learned about his life through songs from his first CD, “A Little Bit of Alright” and his recent CD, “Turnin Up a Sundown” which are available on his website.

Tristan, with roots in rural New Brunswick, had a secure job with a pension plan. But, he didn’t want to be old telling his children and grandchildren that his dream had been to be a country singer. He left that secure job and hit the road to entertain country fans so that he would have no regrets in life. We are certainly glad that he did.

After singing George Jones’ “Race Is On” he told us that he had toured with Georgette Jones and Sammy Kershaw and was thrilled when Georgette joined him onstage for a song.

His song “Long as I’m Alive” speaks to how he was raised on country music and his love for classic country. Tristan’s song “Drinkin Girl” was about how he and his wife met, but, he did say she isn’t a big drinker, just so we didn’t get the wrong idea!  He went on to tell us about the first time he asked his wife out, he drove to see her in a huge truck with a plow on it. It must have impressed her because she agreed to go out with him.

On a more somber note Tristan talked about friends he had lost and then played Luke Bryan’s “Drink A Beer” in their memory.

We heard about Tristan’s writing trips to Nashville and the friendship he has now with Aaron Goodvin, another Canadian who has made a name for himself as a songwriter/singer.

The song, “Dozen Roses” showcased Tristan’s vocals. What a set of pipes he has!

Although Tristan has played the Manitoulin Country Fest and six days at the CNE, Athens was the first soft seat venue show he has headlined in Ontario. He loved the audience who were there, sitting in their seats, listening to every word he sang. He promised to come back and the audience will hold him to that promise.

Tristan and Brad closed out the evening with the song “First to Last” that talked about neither person being the other’s first love but they could be the first to last. Tristan greeted each audience member as they left the hall, thanking them for coming, and hearing lots of “you were awesome”.

Brad Bailey, professionally trained at the Musicians Institute in L.A., accompanied Tristan on the guitar. Brad has played in the Chris Cummings band, Age of Days band and for various other artists. He accompanied Sacha when she opened for Brett Kissel on his Ice, Snow and Thirty Below tour as well as at Havelock Jamboree and Lucknow Music in The Fields. He was in the house band at the East Coast Music Awards and has had songwriting sessions in Nashville. We were given a glimpse of this guitar virtuoso’s talent in Athens Saturday night. Audience members went to the stage after the show to tell Brad how much they enjoyed his guitar skills. What a talent and nice guy!

Tristan and Brad flew into Ontario the morning of the show but still had time to be toured around the Athens area to get a feel for this neck of the woods. They found it very similar to where they live in New Brunswick. They love country and they loved Athens. Here they are fooling around on a dirt bike before they head out for sound check.

Classified wins ECMA Song of Year for Snoop Dogg collaboration

SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- A fun collaboration with Snoop Dogg called "No Pressure" rewarded Nova Scotia rapper Classified with the Song of the Year award Thursday night at the annual East Coast Music Awards.

The rapper, from Enfield, N.S., produced the tune, which also samples a song from emerging Cape Breton-born, Halifax based singer-songwriter Dave Sampson.

Classified also produced Ria Mae's self-titled album, which captured the award for Solo Recording of the year. Mae's album featuring "Clothes Off" became a smash hit on the Canadian radio charts and grabbed a Juno nomination for single of the year -- a category based on sales.

The awards show, hosted by comedian James Mullinger, was held in Saint John, N.B.

The show featured live performances by David Myles, Classified, Ria Mae, Tomato/Tomato, and others.

Old Man Luedecke captured Album of the Year for his Domestic Eccentric. Produced by Tim O'Brien, the album was recorded in a small cabin in the snowy Nova Scotia woods.

Les Hotesses d'Hilaire walked away with two awards on the night -- Francophone Recording of the Year and Group Recording of the Year.

Tristan Horncastle had the Country Recording of the Year with "Turnin' Up a Sundown."

Ever-popular Lennie Gallant was named the Fans' Choice Entertainer of the year.

The East Coast Music Association is a regional collaboration of people in the music industry to foster, develop and celebrate East Coast music and its artists.

"Once again, the awards show proved to be an excellent way to kick off the ECMAs," said Andy McLean, the group's executive director.

Industry sessions and local performances continue though the weekend.

Other winners Thursday night included War Horses for Indigenous Artist of the Year, and The Motorleague with Rock Recording of the Year for "Holding Patterns."

Like a Motorcycle took home the coveted Rising Star Recording of the Year award for their hard-driving rock tune "High Hopes."

The remaining 2017 East Coast Music Awards, including the Industry Awards, will be handed out over the course of the weekend as the festival continues in Saint John.

Tours se met à l'heure américaine

L’American Tours Festival et Rolling Stone vous offrent un aller simple pour l’Amérique de légende, du 7 au 9 juillet prochain

Découvrez ou redécouvrez le rockabilly et la country, au détours des allées de ce festival unique en Europe. Que vous soyez l’heureux propriétaire d’une sublime Harley ou que vous vous intéressiez au phénomène grandissant de la Kustom Kulture, c’est à Tours qu’il faudra passer vos vacances. Et si pour vous il n’y a que la musique qui compte, cela tombe bien : entre quatre tête d’affiches d’exception et plusieurs dizaines de concerts, vous ne pouvez que trouver votre bonheur.

Des concerts au poil

Ce ne seront non pas un mais bien quatre grands noms de la scène rock qui se donneront rendez-vous à Tours cet été. Les barbus de ZZ Top lanceront les festivités le vendredi 7 à 22 heures 30 avant de céder leur place à ceux que les moins de vingt ans ne peuvent pas connaître sous le nom de Téléphone, les Insus, qui embraseront la scène extérieure le 8 à la même heure. Les britanniques de Vintage Trouble feront quant à eux groover les festivaliers le dimanche 9 juillet à 18 heures, avant de laisser Brian Setzer conclure sur des notes de swing.

L’Amérique des grands espaces

Si on vous dit États-Unis, vous pensez probablement country ? Si c’est le cas, c’est dans le Hall Western & Rodéo que vous pourrez vous frotter aux plus grandes légendes de l’Ouest. Vous vous sentez une âme de cowboy ? Flânez dans un village amérindien avant d’assister à des démonstrations de tri de bétail et autres rodéos.

Plutôt branché line dance ? Tant que vous savez mettre un pied devant l’autre, les chorégraphes de l’American Tours Festival pourront vous apprendre les rudiments de la danse country sur la Scène Parquet Country où se déroulera également la Canadian Music Night. Le jeune Tristan Horncastle et et le trio Prescott Brown vous donnent rendez-vous le samedi 8 juillet à partir de 21 heures.

« Rock N’ Roll Is Here to Stay »

Si vous préférez la gomina et les robes à pois au sable et aux santiags, c’est au Hall Rock & Vintage que vous trouverez votre bonheur. Que vous ayez besoin d’un relooking complet ou que vous cherchiez la pièce qui viendra parfaire votre tenue, il est impossible que vous ne trouviez pas votre bonheur. Et si par hasard vous rencontriez l’élu de votre cœur, qu’à cela ne tienne, il y aura une wedding chapel. Plus d’une douzaine de groupes aux influences diverses et variées rythmeront vos pérégrinations dans les allées du salon, et s’il vous prenait d’apprendre à danser, c’est vers les stages de danse qu’il faudra vous diriger.

Et si vous êtes plutôt branchés engins rutilants, le gigantesque Hall Harley-Davidson rassemble les fleurons de la Kustom Kulture. N’hésitez pas à grimper sur une Harley et à participer à la grande parade qui se tiendra à proximité. Vous n’êtes pas très à l’aise sur deux roues ? Qu’à cela ne tienne, un parking spécifique sera également mis en place sur le site afin d’accueillir une sélection de voitures américaines de légende.

Une fois que vous avez réservé vos billets, chaussez donc vos santiags et vissez votre plus beau chapeau sur votre tête, direction le Parc des Expositions de Tours !
