Hagersville Rocks Sponsorship Package SPONSORS Hagersville Rocks Concert Series 2016 Something for everybody Headlined by hot country star Gord Bamford, Hagersville Rocks 2016 will be bringing a crosssection of different genres to the big stage at Grant Kett Memorial Ball Park to please country, folk and rock music fans alike. This diversity in music coupled with an aggressive marketing strategy will bring record numbers of music lovers to Hagersville on July 23, 2016. In 2014, Hagersville Rocks launched its inaugural show, and was extremely well received by all fans in attendance. Research shows that the largest segment of population in Haldimand and Norfolk is age 40-55. While that is the primary target market, our secondary market is the 18-30 group, who represent the largest festival and concert purchasing market in Southern Ontario. Our market falls just south of Burlington and most concert-goers will come west from Brantford, north from Hamilton and mostly from within Haldimand and Norfolk counties. Within Haldimand County this festival will be the only one of its size and the only live music festival in the county for the whole summer. It is our belief that the lineup we have put together will attract several thousand people. The ticket cost of $40 is a price point that is affordable and competitively priced. As the festivals in Southern Ontario continue to grow, the market for them does as well and there seems to be strong appetite for outdoor, multiple band events.
Hagersville Rocks 2016 musical lineup GORD BAMFORD He s been called Canada s answer to George Strait. But a distinctive sound and songwriting ability is what defines Gord Bamford as one of country music s best neotraditional artists and like so many others that have come before him; Bamford is not an overnight success. He has spent the better part of the last 20 years honing his craft, working to get where he is today: a 16-time Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) award winning artist. Bamford has opened shows and toured with artists such as Tim McGraw, George Strait, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert and just recently a cross-canada tour with Reba McEntire. THE STELLAS When The Stellas took their first trip to Nashville in 2008, they were still a relatively unknown husband-and-wife duo from the Toronto suburbs, armed with little more than two voices, one acoustic guitar, and a catalog of smart, catchy songs. A lot can change in five years. These days, The Stellas are songwriters who have written 90% of the material on their own albums, as well as songs for other artists. They are artists who have won numerous awards. They re parents of Lennon and Maisy, two sisters known to most of the TV-watching public as Maddie & Daphne from ABC's "Nashville." They're also the creators of a brand new album, which mixes the duo's country-roots songwriting with sharp lyrics and a few left-of-center curveballs. MUDMEN High energy and a lot of fun, The Mudmen are a Celtic Rock Band who inspire a party as soon as they hit the stage. Founded by The Campbell Brothers in 1998, The Mudmen have 8 studio CDs building a resume and a legion of fans from young to old. The Mudmen Robby Campbell, Sandy Campbell, Jeremy Burton Mike Meacher, Dan Westenenk and Eric Bolton believe nice guys do finish first. Their love for music and performing is as strong as their off stage friendship. With over 2,500 shows to date you are sure to feel the same way about the Canadian, Celtic, Rock band known as The Mudmen. dry county When their cult single Waitin On Hank became the official entrance song for UFC super heavy weight fighter Texas Crazy Horse Heath Herring in 2008, Dry County's music was heard by millions. Originally formed in 1998 after shared decades on the bar and festival circuit, Dry County established itself as a high energy act infusing new country with southern rock. Their 2002 self-titled debut CD landed 5 songs on over 50 radio stations nationwide and have been included in live to air interviews as feature artists. Their controversial 2005 release, Waitin On Hank, received huge attention from all over the world and landed 4 singles on major market radio giving Dry County massive exposure and a fan base unmatched for a band that is proud to be 100% self contained.

From the soles of his boots to his cowboy hat, Ty is a Good Ol Boy through and through. Known to finish his own set at a show and promptly head out to party with the crowd, Ty is the same on stage as he is off. Ty picked up the guitar at 14 and never looked back. By 15 he had wrote his first song and was performing at bars and coffee houses in and around his hometown. He continued performing and writing while attaining both his college and university degree and by the age of 20 his passion also allowed him to pay the bills. Always willing to lend a hand or take the time to chat with fans and friends, Ty often stays for several hours after a show hanging out and getting to know those who came out to the performance.
