If you love singer songwriters then we have the two the finest in Canada for one great night.

The Country Icons Show pays tribute to three of the giants in traditional and outlaw country music.

Jake Allan, Robert Rowan, and Jason Cooper are all veterans of the country music industry and have performed in countless Honky Tonks, Casinos and many of the major festivals throughout Canada and the US.

Over the past number of years, these artists have come across diverse country music fans expressing their inability to find great “live” traditional country music. Being huge fans of this genre of music, they decided to produce a show to pay homage to three of their favorites.

This talented and stellar trio of singers combines great musicianship with a little humor to bring you a fantastic show in their tribute to “Alan Jackson”, “Waylon Jennings” and “Merle Haggard”.

Along with numerous standing ovations, they’ve been recipients of great reviews from their audiences. Remarks such as “Awesome show”, “Great band”, “Sounded so much like the real thing”, and “You guys knocked it out of the park” are frequently heard.

The Icons’ show is supported by an award-winning group of musicians who never cease to deliver. They always look forward and are grateful to share their passion for this great style of music with other like-minded fans. Their love for traditional country music shines through in every performance.

Come raise your voice and sing along to these trademark tunes while recalling memories that they will conjure up. Join us on our way through your neighbourhood, for a memorable night of foot stomping live music.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Dan Bern is touring the US, Canada and Europe in 2020 in support of his new release REGENT STREET. After losing two fingertips from an accident with a snowblower in March 2018, Bern found himself unable to play guitar for nearly a year. Turning to the piano, he found fresh perspective which led to Regent Street, acollection of eleven songs that reach new artistic heights. The title track and lead singlewas previously recorded by Roger Daltrey, a fan of Bern’s work, after Bern sent The Who singer a demo. “Regent Street” was recorded for this album in a style inspired by Daltrey’s version, and Bern considers it a cover of his own song. Passionate, energetic andpoignant, Regent Streetis a stand-out album in Bern’s impressive discography.

“Dan Bern is a throwback, a singer-songwriter who marvels at life’s beauty, fragility, and complexity with a fresh, defiantly uncompromising style. In a perfect world, he’d be as beloved as Dylan or Lennon—he’s that good!”

WiL is back at Bozzini’s!

William Mimnaugh (stage name WiL) is a Canadian singer songwriter known for penning catchy roots inspired rock songs and delivering them live on stage with a dichotomous mixture of delicate beauty and fierce fiery vengeance. Although his first five albums stayed fairly true to an Americana – esque roots rock style, his sound of late has expanded to include a range of musical styles. “There was a time when I fought to try and stay within the parameters of the roots rock genre, says Mimnaugh, but I have felt a burning desire to simply make music that inspires me whether it be an acoustic folk style ballad or a synth driven pop song. The unifying thread will always be my voice but I refuse at this point in my career to make music for others. As the captain of my own ship, so to speak, I am simply able to write what I feel, regardless of any one ‘sound’. I want to be able to listen to any song I write in the future and say “yep, I wrote that and I’m damn proud I did.”
