THE PLOWBOYS
Saturday, May 10th, 2025 at 7pm
The Plowboys combine traditional country music with the sparkle of rhinestone suits! Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of eastern Ontario, this five-piece ensemble has been strumming and singing their hearts out since 2016, creating a musical experience that’s as authentic as it is dazzling. The band is a tight-knit group of musicians brought together by their love for traditional country tunes. With roots deeply embedded in the rich soil of classic country sounds, they’ve cultivated a signature style that pays homage to the legends that paved the way while adding their own unique flair.
Having shared countless stages and honed their craft together, The Plowboys have become a fixture in the eastern Ontario music scene. With each passing year, they continue to grow, connecting with audiences through the universal language of country music. There’s Scott Haggerty on lead vocals and guitar (that’s right, FREDDY VETTE!), Al Torrance on lead guitar, Jim Haggerty on Bass, Brad Baldwin on drums, and Andy Schick on steel guitar.
Their repertoire is a musical harvest of classic country hits and original compositions, all delivered with a passion that can only come from the heart. From toe-tapping honky-tonk numbers by Buck Owens and Ray Price to soulful ballads from Merle Haggard and Jim Reeves, their performances are a journey through the timeless landscapes of country storytelling. The band released their most recent album in July 2024, and their first release, “Out of Luck Out Of Time Out Of My Mind,” reached #10 on the Canadian Indie Top 150 Country Countdown Chart.
Picture this: A stage adorned with glimmering rhinestone suits that reflect the bright spirit of their music. As the band says, “In rhinestones we trust”. The outfits aren’t just for show; they’re a symbol of the band’s commitment to bringing a touch of glamour to the rustic charm of country music. Whether you’re a seasoned two-stepper or a newcomer to the country music scene, The Plowboys invite you to join them on this musical journey. Saddle up and get ready for a toe-tappin’, rhinestone-shinin’ good time with The Plowboys – where the roots run deep, and the music shines even brighter!

Saturday, June 7th, 2025 at 7pm
Nick Wallace combines magic and storytelling to explore the murky waters of truth and fiction. Charming, unassuming and approachable – but at the same time deeply mischievous and unpredictable. It’s no wonder he has been described as “Pure evil wrapped in Mr. Rogers Sweater.”
“He is a true magician who not only uses magic tricks to bend your mind, but who just as often employs themes and concepts to blow it away.” – Beyond James
Nick has appeared on America’s Got Talent, fooled Penn & Teller on their hit show “Fool Us”, and has been named the Canadian Champion of Magic by the Canadian Association of Magicians. He is the 2018 recipient of the Allan Slaight Award for Canadian Rising Star. In 2022 he was named Variety Entertainer of the Year by the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities (COCA).
Nick Wallace has forgone fancy props and special effects and prefers to conjure with an audience’s imagination by presenting magic and mind reading in a way that is both entertaining and thought provoking. One of the biggest names in the business will put on a mind-altering show for one night – do not miss it!
“A hypnotic, mystifying, challenging, supernatural (well, magic does not do Nick justice) piece of entertainment.” – London Fringe

You can always count on energy, comedy and an element of surprise with Betty’s performances. Betty designs and sews all of her own drag costumes to connect with and enhance the content of each of her performances. She has been performing in drag since the age of 15 and her Library Drag Storytime performances have garnered national attention.

Sahira Qis the drag djinn of Peterborough-bold, boundless, and unapologetically intersectional. Born in Zanzibar and shaped by an immigrant upbringing in Toronto, Sahira blends makeup, costume, movement and storytelling into a fearless expression of freedom. Every performance is a mix of sharp humour, raw truth, and electrifying presence. With a background in graphic design, Sahira brings a sharp eye for detail to every look and stage moment. “Drag isn’t just an art-it’s a statement. A challenge. A celebration.”
