Would like to hear what is going on musically in this part of the world. I am just new here and would love to hear.
Thank you and Take Care.

Hey, I'm not from Ontario (although I lived there for a couple of years in the late 90s), but I thought I'd say hi and welcome aboard. I know there are lots of folks from Ont on the board, maybe this bump will scare 'm up cheers Hummin'bird ------------------ Vikki Flawith, Canadian Singer/Songwriter & Voice Teacher Vikki on Soundclick Vikki on MySpace My ZaNy cRaZy Blog Sample my *F*O*L*K* CD

Babalouie... Hello.
Dryden is pretty isolated up there and the closest music scene is probablly in Thunder Bay or Sault Ste. Marie.Both have great "live" venues for musicians and have spawned some great talent."Treble Charger" is from the Soo and Paul Schaeffer from the Letterman show is from Thunder Bay.
You always have the internet and you can create your own local scene.
Good luck.

Normally, I would have responded more quickly to a pot like this one. I was at Country Music Week, and I feell behind. Sorry about that. I'm from Ottawa, so I don't know about a local scene in your neck of the woods. Depending on the type of music you like, I may be able to recommend a couple of acts you should check out. I heard some great artists while I was in Saint John, who were from your part of the country. Two young women who I think are worth looking out for are Erynn Hull, from Thunder Bay, and Marlee Scott, who I think is based in Winnipeg. Both of them performed in showcases at the event, and both were excellent. Beyond that, I don't know who to suggest. If country isn't your thing, there are probably other people on here who could make some suggestions for you. This is a great place to network, and there is no reason to limit yourself to your own neighbourhood. I'm co-writing with people from as far away as Georgia through connections I've made here, and with MSN messaging and e-mail, you can do just about anything from anywhere. Welcome aboard. You are going to love it here. ------------------ Terry Don't worry too much about life. You'll never get out alive. http://www.soundclick.com/terryfernihough

Babalouie! How's it going! I am a recording artist based in Thunder Bay. Not much going on around here in the lines of live entertainment (Espessially country music). If you are looking for Country in particular you are further off to drive to Winnipeg, it's the same distance as Thunder Bay, to find a lot more live venues. Lots of festivals around the Dryden area come summer time though - Trout Forest(Ear Falls) & John Ricci Memorial(Ignace) to name a few. As for myself - I just released a new Christmas CD last month and right now I'm in the studio working on a new CD for release later this summer! Cheers!
