FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PETERBOROUGH, ON- Friday May 1, 2026- Peterborough Musicfest welcomes rising Canadian country artist Tyler Joe Miller to the Fred Anderson Stage for the first time on Wednesday, July 15. The show begins at 8:00 PM, with free admission at Del Crary Park.
There’s a certain kind of country artist who doesn’t need to shout to be heard—and Tyler Joe Miller has built his career in that space, where craft carries more weight than spectacle.
Since breaking through with his Gold-certified, #1 debut single “Pillow Talkin’,”Miller has built one of the more impressive résumés in Canadian country. He became the first independent Canadian country artist to land back-to-back #1 hits with “I Would Be Over Me Too,” and has since earned nine Top 10 singles, a 2021 SiriusXM Top of the Country win, and multiple JUNO and CCMA nominations. His latest EP, Going Home—nominated for 2025 CCMA Album of the Year—continues that trajectory, grounded in themes of love, loss, and resilience.
On stage, his songs open up. They stretch out, settle in, and before long, the crowd is right there with him.
As Miller continues to build momentum—including an upcoming appearance at the CCMA Awards this September, where he’s nominated for Male Artist of the Year and Fans’ Choice—his Musicfest debut offers a timely opportunity to see an artist firmly established and still on the rise.
Arrive early to take in the full Musicfest experience, including the Future Sound Series presented by Cogeco, local food vendors, and the 50/50 raffle draw.
Each summer, Peterborough Musicfest attracts more than 100,000 attendees to Del Crary Park, offering free access to live music in a vibrant waterfront setting.
