2024-06-29 20:00 - 21:30 | Del Crary Park, 2 George Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H1, Canada
Five-time CCMA Female Artist of the Year, Tenille Townes, will open the 37th annual Peterborough Musicfest at Del Crary Park on June 29, 2024. Hailing from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Townes discovered her love for songwriting at 14, inspired by artists like Patty Griffin and Lori McKenna. Her career includes tours with legends such as Stevie Nicks and Shania Twain, and she has won two JUNO Awards, 17 CCMA Awards, and two Academy of Country Music Awards. Known for her storytelling, Townes’ debut album, “The Lemonade Stand,” featured the award-winning track “Jersey on The Wall.” Her latest release, “As You Are,” explores new sonic territories.
Opening for Townes is rising star Griffen Palmer, known for his heartfelt ballads and songwriting for artists like Florida Georgia Line and Keith Urban. Growing up in a musical family in Ontario, Palmer’s early influences included John Mayer and Kings of Leon. After college, he moved to Nashville, signing with Big Loud in 2019.
Townes’ debut album, “The Lemonade Stand,” earned her the 2021 JUNO Award for Country Album of the Year, followed by her 2022 album “Masquerades,” which won the same award. Her latest work, “As You Are,” released in February 2024, diverges from past hits like “Somebody’s Daughter,” embracing a more spacious Americana sound and themes of acceptance and unconditional love. Palmer, a winner of NBC’s Songland, has quickly become a sought-after songwriter and performer, known for his engaging lyrics and small-town sentiments.

Peterborough Musicfest Presents: Road Apples, A Tribute to The Tragically Hip
2024-07-01 20:00 - 21:30 | Del Crary Park, 2 George Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H1, Canada
Hailing from the very birthplace of the revered Canadian rock group they pay tribute to, Road Apples are Canada’s original and premier tribute to the iconic band, The Tragically Hip. Fittingly, the songs of one of Canada’s greatest musical acts will echo throughout Peterborough’s Del Crary Park on Canada Day, July 1st, 2024, a mere 50 km south of the town that inspired their legendary lick “Bobcaygeon.”
Formed in Kingston, Ontario, Road Apples has been performing The Hip’s music professionally since 1992. Now in their fourth decade, the band has performed thousands of live concerts at theatres, arenas, music festivals, and other venues from coast to coast across Canada. Members of Road Apples pride themselves on delivering The Hip’s work to audiences in a respectful and faithful fashion without diverging interpretations or gimmicks. With an extensive repertoire spanning The Hip’s entire discography, you will enjoy a celebration of the music—and inevitably your memories—of the musical group that is now woven into the very fabric of Canadian society. Audiences can expect a captivating performance that not only honours the spirit of The Tragically Hip but also brings a sense of nostalgia and communal connection.

Peterborough Musicfest Presents: Aysanabee with special guest Cale Crowe
2024-07-03 20:00 - 21:30 | Del Crary Park, 2 George Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H1, Canada
Aysanabee (Ace-in-abbey), a two-time JUNO award-winning alternative indie artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter will be gracing the Musicfest Stage July 3rd, treating Peterborough to a swirling mix of indie, soul, electronic sounds, and the pulse-quickening fingerpicking that earned him the first JUNO award by any indigenous artist. He is Oji-Cree, Sucker Clan of Sandy Lake First Nation, a remote fly-in community in the far reaches of Northwestern Ontario, Canada, now calling Toronto home.
His debut album, Watin (Nov 2022), named after his grandfather, includes ten tracks and nine interludes featuring the voice of his grandfather that combines music and journalism with artistry and expression. The success of the album earned Aysanabee acclaim as a uniquely talented artist, proving that he is here to stay and will continue to be a major force in the Canadian music scene.
His music has garnered an extensive list of accolades and support. The single “Nomads” charted on Billboard Canada, reached #1 on CBC Music, and #1 on the Alternative Radio Chart (March 2023). “We Were Here” charted on the Indigenous Music Countdown, was featured on an episode of Station 19 (ABC/CTV), and was performed live at the 2023 JUNO Awards.
In early 2024,when Aysanabee made history as the first Indigenous artist to win the JUNO Awards for Alternative Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for his EP Here and Now, he followed up the wins with a memorable performance on the awards broadcast with a tribute to Robbie Robertson and Gordon Lightfoot alongside Allison Russell, William Prince, Julian Taylor, Shawnee Kish, Logan Staats, and the Rainbow Coalition. He was also nominated for Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year.
Having been compared to Bon Iver, Matt Corby, Hozier, Kim Churchill, and Kings of Leon, Aysanabee’s album With Here and Now (Oct 2023) took a new direction, tackling personal experiences of love’s end with unflinching self-examination. CBC Music boasted that, “Here and Now reveals an artist deep in his groove. Aysanabee has rounded out his sound, blending elements of gospel, roots, soul and rock. The production and his earth-shattering voice put him in line with artists like Matt Corby, Hozier and Kings of Leon.”

He has been short-listed for the 2023 Polaris Prize, won three 2023 Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards for Artistic Video, Pop/Alternative/Rock Album of the Year, and Rising Star. He also won the 2023 Jim Beam Indie Award for Indigenous Artist of the Year and the 2023 Canadian Live Music Award for New Touring Artist of the Year. Among his many accomplishments, Aysanabee was nominated for a 2023 JUNO Award for Contemporary Indigenous Group or Artist of the Year. Moreover, he became the first Indigenous artist to hit Number 1 on Mediabase Canada’s Alternative Rock chart in March 2023. Aysanabee last performed in Peterborough in November 2023 at Market Hall.
Opening for Aysanabee is Cale Crowe, a local singer-songwriter from the Alderville First Nation territory who has been entertaining audiences as a “One-Man Band” act, performing acoustic guitar, electronic drum, and a loop station pedal. Crowe has performed all over North America from Sydney, Nova Scotia, to Albuquerque, New Mexico with notable acts such as Ron Sexsmith, The Strumbellas, William Prince, Digging Roots, and countless others. Cale is currently finishing his third studio record, the “Burn Blue” EP, and continues to tell his story – and the stories of others – behind the strings of an acoustic guitar and a microphone.

Peterborough Musicfest Presents: Tim Baker + Great Lake Swimmers
2024-07-06 20:00 - 21:30 | Del Crary Park, 2 George Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H1, Canada
Led by singer/songwriter Tony Dekker, the critically acclaimed indie-folk band Great Lake Swimmers is teaming up with Tim Baker of Hey Rosetta! to hit the stage at Del Crary Park on July 6th.
The Toronto-based Great Lake Swimmers feature a blend of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes, and wistful vocals, creating a pastoral warmth. Known for their homespun folk and lush, intimate Americana, the band celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023 with “Uncertain Country,” an album that tackles the collective anxiety of a world mired in uncertainty, where doubts are followed by discovery and themes of new beginnings. Recorded in different locales with a variety of musicians, a theme of questioning runs throughout the album.
“Moonlight, Stay Above” encapsulates the band’s ethos beautifully with a 10-voice strong women’s choir (Niagara’s Minuscule) lifting it from its wistfulness. They were shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards, with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.” Critics describe their music as “a stunning variety of tones and textures… nothing less than both cerebral and sublime.”
Joining Great Lake Swimmers is Tim Baker, known for founding Hey Rosetta!, a Juno-nominated, Polaris-shortlisted, and multi-award-winning band based in St. John’s, Newfoundland. With over 15 years of performing their high-energy spectacle in stadiums, clubs, theatres, and major festivals worldwide, Hey Rosetta! called it quits in 2017.
Back in 2016, Baker debuted his first solo song, “Spirit,” on CBC Radio’s “The Current” as part of a special series on the economic challenges of life in Newfoundland. The song appears on the 2019 album “Forever Overhead,” which in June of that year was named to the initial longlist for the 2019 Polaris Music Prize. At the Juno Awards of 2020, he received a nomination for Songwriter of the Year for the songs “All Hands,” “Dance,” and “The Eighteenth Hole.”
Baker, who performed “Songbirds” at the investiture of Mary Simon as Governor General of Canada, released his second solo album, “The Festival,” in October 2021. It includes singles “Lucky Few,” “Some Day,” and “Echo Park” (written during Baker’s time as the lead singer of Hey Rosetta!).

Peterborough Musicfest Presents: Chilliwack
2024-07-09 20:00 - 21:30 | Del Crary Park, 2 George Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H1, Canada
Rising from the ashes of psychedelia in 1969, Bill Henderson spearheaded the creation of one of Canada’s greatest rock bands. Formerly a member of The Collectors, Henderson filled the void left by the departure of lead vocalist Howie Vickers and transitioned the band into Chilliwack. The name Chilliwack was inspired by the Salish term for “valley of many streams” and the city located east of their hometown, Vancouver.
Between 1970 and 1984, Chilliwack released 12 albums, an astonishing output that yielded numerous Canadian and international hits, including “Lonesome Mary,” “Fly at Night,” “California Girl,” “My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone),” and “Whatcha Gonna Do.” This prolific period resulted in fifteen gold and platinum certifications, a host of awards, high-profile TV appearances, and coliseum concert tours. In 2019, Chilliwack was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, a testament to their lasting impact on the music scene. Chilliwack’s reputation for delivering consistently excellent live performances continued with the success of their live album There and Back in 2023 and subsequent shows, winning over new fans and delighting longtime followers. Bill Henderson and company continue to deliver outstanding performances.

Peterborough Musicfest Presents: I Mother Earth
2024-07-13 20:00 - 21:30 | Del Crary Park, 2 George Street, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H1, Canada
When brothers Christian and Jagori Tanna met Edwin back in 1990, the latter thought it would be a good idea to put a band together, and now, 30 odd years later (including an 8-year hiatus), I Mother Earth continues to rock stages as a stalwart on the Canadian rock scene. On July 13th, they will be gracing the stage at Del Crary Park once again, not too far from where the Tanna brothers went to high school.
When I Mother Earth ended their eight-year hiatus in March of 2012, they did so by putting a countdown clock on their website that expired just in time for the band to perform two sold-out shows at Toronto’s Sound Academy. In 2016, they turned the clock back—20 years back to be exact—and reunited with the band’s original vocalist, Edwin, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the critically acclaimed multi-platinum album Scenery and Fish. From there, the reunion tour commenced and was a tremendous success, including shows with Our Lady Peace. It was so enjoyable that the band decided to formally reunite with Edwin indefinitely and also headed back into the studio to create new material. In 2016, I Mother Earth’s tour included a stop in Peterborough to play at Musicfest.
Scenery and Fish spawned 4 Top 10 Hits in Canada with “Raspberry,” “Another Sunday,” “Used to be Alright,” and “One More Astronaut,” but it’s the new music on the horizon and the opportunity to dive into their first record, “Dig,” that has both the fans and the band excited to explore. The debut record featured 4 top singles:
“Levitate,” “Rain Will Fall,” “So Gently We Go,” and “Not Quite Sonic,” all of which hold a distinct place in the hearts of IME fans.
“We are really looking forward to this exciting journey to revisit our entire IME history with Edwin,” says Christian Tanna, co-founder, and drummer. “The fact that we are writing and jamming with this vibe is a huge rush. We really can’t wait to share this with our fans!”
