NEWS RELEASE

VOYAGEURS' LODGE

*************************
For our Musicfest this year on Saturday, August 1, we had originally booked the St. Catherine’s band, XPrime, as the headliner act with Rising Tide, from Sault Ste. Marie, as the opening act. 

We were looking forward to a wonderful show, as we had heard great things about XPrime, and we knew Rising Tide is superb.

As fate would have it, XPrime was asked by Molson’s to play the incredible OSheaga Festival in Montreal where over 130,000 people attend to watch the show. 

The show date was the same as ours, Saturday, August 1.

Since one of our underlying goals is to help foster and develop great Canadian musical talent, how could we not want XPrime to play the OSheaga Festival. 

So we lost our headliner act just three weeks before our show.

XPrime, being the classy and conscientious band that they are set out to find us a new headliner act to replace themselves.  And that they did. 

They found us a young Indie/Rock, Folk/Rock group called The Royal Streets, who hail from Waterloo. 

Last year The Royal Streets won a 650 cross Canada band competition. 

The winner earned the privilege of playing on one of the main stages at OSheaga. 

The Royal Streets opened Canada’s largest music festival and entertained a crowd that was in excess of 100,000 people. 

So here we are, two weeks to go to the big show, and we have the Soo’s own Rising Tide opening for OSheaga’s - The Royal Streets.

Tickets are on sale now at the lodge, $15 in advance and $20 at the door so give us a call at 705-882-2504. 

Showdate is Saturday, August 1, showtime is 7:30 p.m., and remember to bring your own lawnchair. 

It is time to enjoy a hot summer’s night of music!
