A Co-Production with DreamCo Theatre
The Tony® Award-nominated musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is set on December 4, 1956, when an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary December night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations that is both poignant and funny.
On December 4, 1956, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley assemble at the Sun Record recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Established performer Carl Perkins is there to record songs with a new performer, Jerry Lee Lewis. Elvis Presley stops by the studio along with his girlfriend, a singer named Dyanne. Johnny Cash has stopped by to talk to recording impresario Sam Philips. They soon have a jam session together. The rest is history…but there’s more to it than you think…
Relive the era with the smash-hit sensation featuring an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits, performed live onstage by world-class actors and musicians. Showcased hit songs include “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Hound Dog,” and more.

PLAYING SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST AT 7PM
Join us for an incredible evening of music! Freddy Vette, one of central Ontario’s favourite rock ‘n roll singers, will be playing with The Commodores, Canada’s original big swing band. And in Freddy’s backyard, too!
The Quinte King of Rock and Roll, Freddy has been gracing the stages of Ontario and beyond for years with his own band, Freddy Vette and The Flames. He’s also been rocking’ the airwaves at 800 CJBQ radio. Now, he’ll be bringing down the house with Canada’s oldest continuously-operating big swing band!
Nearing their 100th year (coming up in 2027!), the Commodores are at the height of their power. The seventeen musicians, some of the finest between Toronto and Ottawa, include Grammy and JUNO winners/nominees. They’re not just the big swing band of the World War Two era anymore. The music is arranged entirely by Brian Barlow, percussionist in the Grammy-winning Rob McConnell & the Boss Brass in the 80s. Brian also drums with the Commodores in this show. The two genres might seem an odd fit, but rock’n roll did grow out of the big band era. And in the hands of one of Canada’s greatest big band arrangers, the music goes together as if it should never have been separated.
Pre-pandemic, the band played to very good audiences at Belleville’s Empire Theatre, the Capitol Theatre in Port Hope, and the Brockville Arts Centre. In 2017, the Commodores played at the dance pavilion in Tweed’s Victoria Park for the Kiwanis Club’s anniversary. They are so excited to be returning to Hastings County!
Don’t miss the music of Elvis, The Beatles, The Four Seasons, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and more like you’ve never heard it before! Freddy says, “I am excited and honoured to perform with the longest running big band in the universe! It ROCKS!!!”

Event Details
No stranger to Canadian and international audiences, Russell deCarle is recognized as the lead singer and a founding member of award-winning multi-platinum country-roots group Prairie Oyster. For over a decade, he has concentrated on his solo career, and has released four recordings, the most recent being The End of the Road.
deCarle’s music isn’t easily categorized. Apparent are a lifetime of influences absorbing a wide range of musical genres from a time when Buck Owens, Frank Sinatra, and The Beatles could be heard back-to-back on commercial radio.
For some artists, the urge to make solo records asserts itself almost as soon as they start to gain attention as part of a successful band. Not so for deCarle: “For decades people were asking for a solo record,” he says, “but I never thought I was ready and the band always satisfied the musical part of my life.”
Russell’s sound may surprise those who remember Prairie Oyster, but truth is that the band was always more than a “country” band, and deCarle’s warm, burnished and intimate voice has always honoured an eclectic range of songs. True to form, the songs off his most recent albums The End of the Road and Alone in this Crowd offer a fluent collection of songs that mix southern soul and restrained balladry, with obvious touches of jazz, blues, old-school country, and western swing. deCarle’s songwriting has absorbed all those influences, and he avidly listens to both soul singers and the men and women who made early country music so compelling.
As Russell puts it, “I want people to be emotionally invested in these songs, whether I wrote them or whether they were created by others. If they touched audiences in some way — well, that would be the best thing that could happen.”
Russell will be joined by stellar sidemen, Steve Briggs on guitar and Russ Boswell on bass. You’re not going to want to miss this music legend or his opener, The Salt Cellars. Join us for what will be an evening of spectacular musicianship and great fun!
The Salt Cellars, Virginia deCarle and Rob Bersan are a singer/songwriter duo hailing from the south side of Algonquin Park. They are a product of their many influences and blend the sounds of Folk, Americana, Blues, Jazz and Pop to create a sound that is uniquely their own. In 2016 they formed the duo, ‘The Salt Cellars’.
Their audiences love their tight harmonies, writing styles, skilled musicianship and energy. In 2017 the duo became a trio with multi instrumentalist Ron Kapitain, and in 2018 they recording their first album titled “Truth” at Anaxjunius Music Studios with recording engineer/musician Richard Joudrey in Maynooth, ON featuring Tom Fitzgerald on violin (“The Gate”). In 2018 The Salt Cellars became a six piece inviting Richard Joudrey (bass), Anne Wilde (backing vocals), Ron Kapitain (piano, harmonica, melodeon) and Brendon Burgess (drums) to join the band.
As a six piece they released a second album at Anaxjunius Music Studios titled “Crooked Tree”. In August 2022 they released their 3rd album titled, “Inside These Walls”. “Inside These Walls” features guest Canadian musicians Jane Bunnett, a multi JUNO award winning member of Maqueque, and Hugh Marsh, a jazz violinist who has played with, among others, Bruce Cockburn, Loreena Mckennitt, Kevin Hearn and The Rheostatics.
The Salt Cellars made several independently funded Music videos produced by Videographer Peter Chatterton (“You Don’t Know Me”, “Our Favourite Lake”, “Wanna Be With You” and “Silence”) and Harold Eastman (“Inside these Walls”). Now a duo, they have had the opportunity to be showcase artists at the 2023 Folk Music Ontario Conference. They have a great lineup of shows booked for 2024!

Event Details
Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa, Canada has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for almost 40 years. A man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Texas to New Zealand, he’s a singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life.
Remembered for Play Me a Rock and Roll Song, his bitter-sweet memory of finding himself, a relaxed and amiable story-teller, facing a rambunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock Festival circa 1968, Valdy has sold almost half a million copies of his 13 albums, has two Juno Awards (Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year), a total of seven Juno nominations and four Gold albums to his credit.
Valdy’s recent CDs include “Contenders”, a collaboration with friend and fellow singer/songwriter, Gary Fjellgaard, with whom he has an absolute blast touring, and a solo release, “Viva Valdy: Live at Last”, a two-CD package, one live, one studio, with a total of 25 tunes, and a lyric booklet.
One of Canada’s most influential songwriters, Valdy’s composition A Good Song was recorded under the title Just a Man by the venerable Quincy Jones ( he sang lead on the recording!). Play Me a Rock and Roll Song has been recorded by a few artists, including John Kay of Steppenwolf.
Along the way, Valdy has taken his music to a dozen different countries, from Denmark to Australia and been an often-invited performer at the prestigious Kerrville Festival in Texas. His past television appearances include Canada AM and Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Valdy has also been a panelist on Front Page Challenge, and played a lead role in an episode of The Beachcombers original series.
