SUMMARY:Dean Brody: Right Round Here Tour
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum\, iconic Canadian artist Dean Brody is celebrating the biggest years of his career. No country artist has owned the Canadian “Live” stage more than Dean in recent years with three national arena tours (2 breaking national ticket sale records)\, an acoustic national tour and as the only Canadian country artist to hold a 7-year residency at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage. \n\n\n\nNot one to ever slow down\, Brody has been busy setting records and marking major career milestones. 2021 saw the acclaimed artist land his sixth and seventh number ones at Canadian country radio on back-to-back duets with his history-making track “Boys” feat. country music’s fastest rising star Mickey Guyton and “More Drinkin’ Than Fishin’” with labelmate Jade Eagleson. He also secured his 18th CCMA Award\, landing the “Top Selling Canadian Single” with his #1 track feat. The Reklaws\, “Can’t Help Myself.” He kicked off 2022 by earning a JUNO Awards nomination for Country Album of the Year and securing his first TRIPLE-PLATINUM single with “Bring Down The House\,” making him only the second artist in Canadian history to ever achieve this status on a single. He also landed his eighth #1 with his single “Where’d You Learn How to Do That.” Brody celebrated these moments with fans throughout the year with headlining stops across the country including Budweiser Stage (Toronto)\, Festival Country Lotbinière and Dauphin Country Fest\, a 10-night residency at the Calgary Stampede as well as a show in his hometown of Fort Steele with the NHLPA. \n\n\n\nA passionate storyteller and unmatched lyricist\, Dean has risen and continues to remain at the top of the Canadian country landscape with an impressive 34 Top-10 singles (including 8 #1’s)\, 18 CCMA Awards\, 2 JUNOs\, more than 425+ million global streams and numerous gold and platinum certified singles (including 1 triple platinum and 3 double platinum). Only Shania Twain has more Canadian streams than Dean when looking at Canadian country artists “lifetime” results. \n\n\n\nWhile a consistently celebrated entertainer\, Dean also dedicates a large part of his life to philanthropic efforts through his charity\, The Dean Brody Foundation.  To continue his foundations’ mission\, Dean has recently entered into a partnership with International Justice Mission (IJM)\, a global organization that shares the core values and goals of The Dean Brody Foundation.

SUMMARY:David Francey
DESCRIPTION:David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter\, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire\, Scotland to parents who were factory workers\, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades\, he worked across Canada in rail yards\, construction sites\, and in the Yukon bush\, all the while writing poetry\, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. \n\n\n\nA truly authentic folk singer\, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who never imagined earning a living from his music. But when he was in his 40s\, his wife\, artist Beth Girdler\, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then\, he has released eleven albums\, won three Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band\, The Rankin Family\, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are $39.95 + HST each. \n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS ONLINE HERE \n\n\n\nTickets can also be purchased during our business hours by calling our Box Office at 705-746-4466 extension 405 or visiting us at 2 Bay Street\, Parry Sound.

SUMMARY:Big Wreck
DESCRIPTION:With special guests Texas King and with a very special performance by Daniel Greaves of The Watchment. Please note Vilivant is no longer taking part in this tour. \n\n\n\nIn the early weeks of 2020\, the members of Big Wreck were returning home after a heavy few months of touring\, ready to settle into a cyclical period of workshopping and woodshedding new material. Of course\, an emerging global pandemic unwelcomely extended a few months of creative respite into nearly a year-and-a-half of inactivity and uncertainty. But borrowing whatever adage you’d like about lemonade or open windows\, frontman Ian Thornley and his bandmates decided to take full advantage of the downtime. \n\n\n\n“It was a crazy and uncertain time\, but I kind of fell right into my rhythm\,” Thornley recalls. “I’d come into my basement writing room and just lock it all away and start following leads – riffs from soundchecks or old phone recordings. There are sounds we’ve never gone for before that I’ve secretly always wanted to try\, so the attitude was kind of\, ‘If not now\, when?’” \n\n\n\nFollowing that lengthy span of experimentation and gestation\, the band hit the studio with revered producer Eric Ratz (Billy Talent\, Arkells) returning behind the board. The result is a wealth of riches for the Big Wreck faithful and new fans alike; 15 tracks divided into three EPs that capture the essence of every entry in their celebrated back catalogue while pushing into some unexplored sonic territory – and that’s saying a lot considering the resumes of this particular group of players. \n\n\n\nJoining Thornley and longtime bassist Dave McMillan for the sessions is guitarist Chris Caddell\, who entered the fold in 2019 following the passing of founding guitarist Brian Doherty. Another fixture in the line-up is drummer Sekou Lumumba\, who performed with Thornley’s eponymous solo project in the early aughts and a diverse group of other big names since. \n\n\n\n“Everybody’s got their own fingerprints on this\, and it felt as natural as anything\,” Thornley enthuses about the recordings. Reports and reviews of recent shows have called this the best iteration of Big Wreck they’ve heard\, and Thornley admits he’d have a hard time disagreeing; the five tracks comprising Big Wreck: 7.1\, the first installment of the triad\, make a compelling case for it\, too. \n\n\n\nDespite its relatively short runtime\, the collection encapsulates the raw\, anthemic rock of their inaugural LPs – 1997’s In Loving Memory of… and 2001’s The Pleasure and the Greed – and edgy eclecticism of their more recent JUNO-nominated offerings since reforming in 2012\, including 2019’s dynamic …But for the Sun. \n\n\n\n“Bombs Away” is arguably the heaviest we’ve heard Big Wreck to date\, with a thundering palm-muted riff exploding out of an ominous acoustic guitar intro to anchor the musical intensity and lyrical urgency. The beautifully orchestrated “Fields” is upbeat and uplifting\, sure to have longtime fans feeling right at home\, while the absolutely smoking “High on the Hog” gives everyone a chance to flex their chops and serves as an earnest reminder of Thornley’s impressive range and impactful prowess as a vocalist. “It was a lot of fun playing with this rhythm section\,” Thornley notes. “Things ended up going in a direction they weren’t going to go when we first came into the studio\, but as a musician\, I love being thrown curveballs.” \n\n\n\nThe moratorium on live concerts through the pandemic may be the biggest curveball of his career\, considering Big Wreck’s penchant and reputation for impactful performances. They’re hungry to get back to bombarding audiences with their signature brand of rock\, and fortunately\, their latest work was seemingly built for the big festival stages and headlining runs. \n\n\n\nIndeed\, from both the stereo and stage\, Big Wreck are sure to leave fans satiated and\, considering the breadth of fresh and familiar sounds in their latest tour de force\, anticipating where they might musically venture next. \n\n\n\nTickets are $69.95 + HST each. \n\n\n\nTicket sales Schedule: \n\n\n\nSpotify Presale: Tues\, August 15th @10:00am EST until Wed\, August 16th @ 10:00am EST Stockey Members & Artist Presale: Wed\, August 16\, 2023 @ 10am EST until Thurs\, August 17\, 2023 @ 10pm ESTPublic On Sale: Fri\, August 18\, 2023 @ 10am EST \n\n\n\nTo become a Stockey Member\, you can visit us on our Membership page for more information and to purchase online\, give us a call at 705-746-4466 extension 405\, or visit us at 2 Bay Street\, Parry Sound. \n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS ONLINE HERE \n\n\n\nTickets can also be purchased during our business hours by calling our Box Office at 705-746-4466 extension 405 or visiting us at 2 Bay Street\, Parry Sound.
