🎶 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.
NuclearVibes
NuclearVibes is an electrifying husband and wife duo from Bruce County, igniting stages with a powerful fusion of rock and soul. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Hannah Faith and driven by Ken’s soulful guitar, this dynamic duo was voted platinum for 2025’s best entertainer, live entertainment, and local band by CommunityVotes Grey County. They captivate audiences with their magnetic stage presence and signature sound. Whether delivering raw, intimate acoustic sets or commanding festival stages, their performances turn heads and keep crowds hooked with a versatile mix of catchy originals and timeless covers that spark emotion and leave a lasting charge.
The Keppel Bandits
Named for the 19th-Century local bandits who once roamed Keppel Township, these Keppel Bandits give Big vocals, familiar licks and tight harmonies to “stolen” rock and pop classics, and their original songs.
Each member of The K-Bandits — Jeff and Brenda Freeman, Pete Miller, Tim Smith and Sterling MacNay — brings decades of individual and ensemble experience to the stage. Their sound is a high energy trip to the past that will have you singing out loud, and a strong musical groove that will lure you onto the dance floor.
Pick up Game
Since 2010, Pick Up Game has been keeping dance floors packed and crowds singing along as one of Grey Bruce’s favourite party bands. Rooted in the raw energy of ’90s rock, their sound has evolved to deliver the best alternative and rock hits from the past 40 years. Known for their high-energy performances and crowd-pleasing setlists, Pick Up Game is excited to bring their music to Wiarton and rock the bandshell in beautiful Bluewater Park with a night of nonstop fun and great vibes. 🎸🎶
