Hey Folks,
As any musician knows, to perform and be part of a music festival for a weekend in the summer is one of the greatest experiences for a musician’s career, you’re guaranteed to play to a lot of people, your pay is usually a lot better than your average gig, you get to meet a lot of your musical peers, there are a lot of late night jams, you’ve helped build a bigger fanbase for your act in the festival’s respective city/town, and you’re almost guaranteed that after the festival you have walked away with a smile.
After many years of building festival relationships, this year has opened up a lot of festivals for the acts on the SP Roster, as well as some freelance acts we have had the honour to work with, and outside of still working on a bunch of other festivals, here is a list of the acts we got in to some great festivals so far this year, and it all starts today with the ‘In The Soil Arts Festival’ in St Catharines, ON.

Plus many more festivals to come, but we want to thank all of the festivals that believe in our artists, and have offered them performance slots on their stages throughout 2015 so far, and we look forward to working with you all, as well as the other festivals that we are presently working with to open up more opportunities on their festival stages at some point this year and beyond.
