Live Music in Ontario’s Cottage Country: Spring 2023

Spring is the season to revive and reinvigorate, to blow away the winter cobwebs and reconnect. What better way to do this than to track down some live music in the great Canadian wilderness just north of Toronto? It could be a collective experience with more than 1,000 other screaming fans, a one-of-a-kind concert on a ship cruising the lakes, or an up close and personal gig in a hole-in-the-wall pub. This season you will find a wide array of exceptional local and national artists performing live on a variety of stages. Here is just a partial list of gigs:
