(TICKETED EVENT)

Stage

Tickets for June 11 available at soundofmusic.ca, $60 in advance, $75 at the door.

POP EVIL 5:30 PM

Critics have hailed the band as incendiary, ground-breaking. It was on the ride home from a Coachella performance that the roots of their tenth album Hidden City began to take root. As you descend into their world, The Cult ask but one thing: Defend the beauty of Hidden City.

Pop Evil is a larger-than-life true rock and roll band blending the earnestness of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden with the celebratory showmanship of Motley Crue and KISS, capable of empathizing with the daily struggles of their fans while simultaneously offering a truly bombastic concert.

HEADSTONES 8:00 PM Canadian punk-rock band Headstones, formed in Kingston, Ontario in 1987, Hugh Dillon led members Trent Carr, Tim White and Dale Harrison into becoming a band synonymous with the real Canadian road-worn punk, touring their anti-social behaviour across the country to restless fans. headstonesband.com

THE GLORIOUS SONS 6:45 PM The Sons are an everyman band, telling real stories from a blue collar perspective.

Vocalist/lyricist Brett Emmons is one of the strongest new voices in Canadian rock, backed by a powerful soundtrack supplied by guitarists Jay Emmons & Andrew Young and the rhythm section of Adam Paquette (Drums) & Chris Huot (Bass). theglorioussons.com

Catch Wade MacNeil and George Pettit of Alexisonfire as guest DJs at the Gazebo stage.

THE WATCHMEN 3:15 PM The band was discovered by producer Chris Wardman while playing at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern. The band toured Canada extensively and became a popular live act, largely on the strength of its energetic shows. the-watchmen.com

SILVERSTEIN 2:00 PM The fifteen-year career of Silverstein has firmly established the group as an institution within an industry characterized by flux and mercurial vogue. The band’s commitment to innovation remains unfaltering. silversteinmusic.com

CHEMICAL BURN 1:00 PM In May of 2015 Chemical Burn began recording their first EP entitled “Smokin Mirrors” which launched in November of the same year. The four talented members strive to write the greatest rock n' roll songs they can – always. chemicalburnrocks.com

8:00 THE KILLJOYS From Hamilton, Ontario – a city legendary for its punk scene (Teenage Head, The Forgotten Rebels) – the Killjoys took their show on the road, and released their first album of buzzy pop songs, “Starry” in 1994. The album had critical, and some commercial, success - driven by their first single, a frenetic ode to petulance, “Today I Hate Everyone”. Today the Killjoys seem rested, and even busted out the old costumes for some high-octane performances. thekilljoys.ca

9:30 SOUL ASYLUM In 1993, Soul Asylum quickly garnered a reputation as America’s best live band, landing their first record deal in 1984.

When the ballad "Runaway Train" was released as the album's third single, it rose to number five on the Billboard chart, and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1994. Today, the heart and soul of Soul Asylum remains and they continue to produce honest and passionate rock n’ roll. soulasylum.com. soulasylum.com

As Sam Cash grows, so too does his music and songwriting. Written and recorded when he was just 19 years old, his 2011 debut, Teenage Hunger, showcased a songwriter finding his voice and sound amongst a bustling Canadian music scene where its artists were all striving to make themselves known. The past year has been an exciting one for Cash, from getting great reviews in Exclaim magazine and supportive endorsements from the likes of Hawksley Workman, Bahamas and Serena Ryder, to sharing the stage with great acts like The Arkells and The Skydiggers. samcash.ca

8:00 THE ELWINS The Elwins are a pop band from the lakeside town of Keswick, Ontario that specialize in writing bright infectious songs.

FRIDAY, JUNE 17 7:00 STEEL CITY ROVERS

Proud supporters of

BURLINGTON'S SOUND OF MUSIC FESTIVAL Suite 200, 3600 Billings Court, Burlington, ON L7N 3N6 Telephone: 905.639.8881 • Fax: 905.639.8017 • Toll Free: 1.800.636.6927 Suite 301, 2010 Winston Park Drive, Oakville, ON L6H 5R7 Telephone: 905.829.3200 • Fax: 905.829.3277 • Toll Free: 1.800.636.6927 www.fdhlawyers.com

The Steel City Rovers are definitely in the zone of Progressive Celtic, but even that is too restrictive in defining the group.

Influences from Bluegrass, Appalachian Swing, and Southern Blues, spice up the groups foundations of Pan Celtic offerings.

The groups fans have started to call them "Celtibilly". Where else will you hear a 300 year old Breton AnDro, brushing up against a fiery Scots fiddle reel, then followed with a driving Bluegrass riff, or enjoy a vocal number that could fit into any Country music dance hall, backed by the sounds of Scottish Smallpipes! steelcityrovers.com

The East Pointers unwrap new possibilities in a musical style that dates back centuries yet is still relevant on multiple, divergent continents. Almost without even trying, the trio makes traditional music seem ridiculously hip. Also the most fun thing on the planet to dance (and raise a pint) to. Secret Victory, their exhilarating debut full length album, could easily stand beside any recording from any era in the illustrious Celtic/folk musical canon. Yet it features 10 brand new original tracks

Stage written by guitarist Jake Charron, fiddler Tim Chaisson and his cousin, banjoist Koady Chaisson, vocalists all and, in the case of the Chaissons, members of Prince Edward Island’s reigning musical dynasty. eastpointers.ca

9:30 THE LEAHYS Evolution is a constant force that fuels artistic expression. The artist is never still, but continually seeks different ways to articulate creative inspiration. For years the members of The Leahy Family have played, danced and shared their music throughout the world, gaining critical acclaim and accolades for their musicality, talent and performance. Audiences can expect solid and energetic performances along with their trade-mark stand-out musicianship. As one might expect, their songs are distinct and identifiable, their presentation uplifting and full of life. theleahys.ca

Maria St. 1:00, 2:15, 3:30 Pilot Light

Pilot Light is a solo singer/songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. His fresh and thought provoking lyrics seem to perfectly complement the pop sensibility of this up and coming artist. For several years, Michael would find his way in and out of several bands, but none would make a more lasting impression on his career than Electric Karma. From 2009-2011, Electric Karma would work its way through the circuit of live venues Toronto has to offer. As time moved on, so did the members of this alt rock trio and through the ashes of an abandoned group emerged Pilot Light - a gentler, more personal side of this musical front man. pilotlightmusic.ca

Ontario St. 1:15, 2:30, 3:45 Frog & Henry

Frog & Henry is a two-man-one-man-band, playing prewar and original music from around the world, on up to a dozen or more instruments. These instruments include a foot-operated upright bass - called a "fotdella" - and a foot-controlled tuba of their own invention - called "The Tuba Machine." Yes, a "two-man-one-man-band" is technically just... a band with two people in it... except that Frog & Henry play as many as 6 different instruments simultaneously, creating the illusion of a much larger ensemble. Each year's performances feature new inventions, usually in the form of new foot-operated contraptions. frogandhenry.com

7:00 THE OBGMS

9:00 THE DIRTY NIL

The OBGMs (The oOohh Baby Gimme Mores) are a Canadian punk rock quartet based out of Toronto, Ontario. Founded in 2007, by Densil McFarlane (Lead Vocals and Guitar) and Colanthony Humphrey (Percussion), the band fully formed their unique sound with additions Jemuel Roberts (Keyboard, Vocals) and Joseph Brosnan (Bass, Vocals).

Performing live, The Dirty Nil are an unhinged, destructive force. Kyle Fisher ferociously pummels his drums, while guitarist Luke Bentham and bassist Dave Nardi stretch their amp volumes past their breaking point. Bentham and Nardi’s vocals range between melodic and frantic, violent and—less violent, with a grin on their faces. Whether live or on record, theirs is a performance based on tension and cathartic release. Three friends unified by the common desire to create something vital, meaningful, and excruciatingly loud.

The Dirty Nil play rock and roll - cause they couldn’t do a damn thing else if they tried.

facebook.com/TheOBGMs

8:00 THE MOTORLEAGUE Holding Patterns is a rock record, and The Motorleague is a rock band. That may not seem like news to those that know them, but really, it is. The Moncton, New Brunswick-based foursome have been an East Coast scene staple for nearly a decade and, in recent years, have further propelled their profile across the country. It’s easy to tell why. The live show is notoriously intense and the sounds they send from the stage are nothing but passionate and pure.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18 1:00 THE PISTOLWHIPS The Pistolwhips are a blues-infused indie rock band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The quartet is comprised of frontman Rylan Schultz, guitarist Paul Kuzbik, bass guitarist Zach Davies, and drummer Tallus Scott.

The Pistolwhips combine upbeat indie rock tunes with old school blues licks and a dose of psychedelia to create a sound that is dynamic and captivating. The band’s powerful stage presence combined with their epic live performances and huge local following has led to some hailing them as a “local super group”.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18 7:00 AA WALLACE From his days growing up in the small fishing village of Wedgeport, Nova Scotia, to his days fronting Halifax indie-rock outfit Sleepless Nights, AA Wallace has always been an outlier - carving out his own musical niche that was often in stark contrast to what was going on around him. Having spent most of his life on the fringes of the Canadian scene, In Alpha Zones is Wallace’s report from the sidelines – sometimes exploratory and other times warm and familiar, a fresh piece of music that allows new audiences to discover him while maintaining the lyrical and musical aesthetics he is already known for.” aawallace.xxx

8:00 FAST ROMANTICS For Fast Romantics, it has been four years of adventuring their way through the backcountry of Canadian indierock, often attempting to straddle that hazy intersection at the corner of rock n' roll and pop. Now, with their second full-length album 'Afterlife Blues,' it sounds as though they have -- quite confidently -- found their way home. While Fast Romantics' earlier work prompted comparisons to Elvis

Costello and Blur, 'Afterlife Blues' carves a bit of a different path right through the great cities of American music. From New Jersey to Detroit, and then cutting down through the heartland, they have somehow managed to combine all of these sounds without selling their distinctly Canadian souls. fastromantics.com

9:30 MOTHER MOTHER Two years after the Juno-nominated The Sticks, the band’s apocalyptic 2012 album steeped in isolation and dread, the Vancouver quintet returns with its fifth studio album: an edgy, synth-heavy, club-driven rock record filled with massive hooks. But as is the band’s trademark, behind the gauzy boy-girl vocal harmonies, angular guitar lines and infectious rhythms lies something deeper and darker. Close to 10 years after it formed, Mother Mother is embracing its true nature. And it speaks volumes. “No matter what you do you’ll be criticized for it,” Guldemond says. “So it’s better to be criticized for taking risks rather than being safe.” mothermothersite.com

The Kids Naturally Village at Sound of Music Festival is back for another year!

Parents are tough… We juggle our daily routines and also our kids', the home, shopping and cooking, and our jobs. And yet we somehow manage to get through it!

Kids Naturally was born out of that passion for positive family connection: Promoting quality time together, more outdoor play, less junk food, less electronics. So let’s bring it to this amazing festival!

Music gets us through some of our toughest challenges; we’ve learned that from a very young age.

Combined with play, music teaches children such positive lessons. This is what the Kids Naturally Village will offer this year: Playing with hula hoops, life-sized Jenga games, doing crafts and so much more… all to the background sounds of amazing music! (And healthy eats ’n treats) Join us for two full days of family time – done healthy! This is a space for families, and it’s going to be amazing yet again! #YesWeCan

SATURDAY, JUNE 18 7:00 ERIC ETHRIDGE

9:30 JESS MOSKALUKE

Hailing from the outskirts of a blue-collar border town in Canada, Eric Ethridge’s journey to country music is one that could be reflected in a country song. He began to play guitar at a young age and started penning lyrics while in high school. As he continues to build his craft as a performer and songwriter, it is very evident that big things are to come Eric and his team.

Currently, he is preparing for his first EP release, and is co-writing many songs with his fiddle player Matt Piché, a two-time Juno nominee.

With a record-breaking single, a new lip gloss line, and multiple accolades and awards including her first JUNO (2015) nominations for Country Album of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

Jess Moskaluke (MDM Recordings Inc./ Universal Music Canada) is dazzling the country music world. This award-winning songstress has recently toured Canada including performances at the Calgary Stampede, Boots and Hearts and the Big Valley Jamboree. When she is not on the road touring, Jess primarily splits her time between her home base in Saskatchewan (with her puppy Shya!), Canada and the US, writing in Nashville.

3:30 JUNKHOUSE

YMCA Battle of Bands Winner! Guilty Pleasure is an Alternative Rock band from Burlington Ontario. The band has been together for over three years, and is comprised of three members: Cam Hart, Evan Catania and Grady Evans. They perform often in southern Ontario, and strive to put on high energy shows featuring their unique sound.

The Canadian group Junkhouse was formed in 1989 by guitarist and singer Tom Wilson.

In 1993, his group signed with the same label and a debut album, Strays, hit the market that same year. A few singles were released from the debut, along with a popular music video to "Out of My Head."

Canada's answer to MTV, MuchMusic, helped Junkhouse expand its fan base and it didn't take long for Strays to go gold for the group.

It seems as if The Mohrs have been thirteen years in the making, originally starting in Winnipeg. Band members later made the decision to move to Toronto and make their music work in one of the most musical cities in the country. The Mohrs have put together an album that is reminiscent of 90s grunge and 80s rock. Their debut album (produced

by Hawksley Workman) is a powerful record that combines sophisticated riff-based rock-pop. themohrsband.com

The voice is unmistakable, flowing effortlessly between soft, sultry whispers and pure, unbridled power. And on her latest collection, Art of Love, Lori Nuic uses it masterfully to deliver massive hooks wrapped in an empowering message.

Incorporating the myriad of influence that has long defined this Torontonian as a unique voice in Canadian pop, Nuic weaves bits of soul, reggae, R&B, and rock into her universally accessible anthems. But while the melodies are grabbing and production punchy and polished, this isn’t the flashin-the-pan pop currently flooding the

Joe's been a low bass singer his entire life, Luke's an urban beatboxer, Janet identifies as a country/pop singer, Stacey's soul/pop, and if that isn't confusing enough, Mike's even more of a musical chameleon who cites blues, folk, and "anything with a good groove" as his influences. Using just their voices, this Toronto-based acappella group has impressed audiences across the USA and Canada. Their first gig was performing the national anthems for the Valentine's Day 2012 Toronto Raptors vs. New York Knicks NBA game. Singing in an arena before 20,000 people?
