Canada Day may look a little different this year – but that doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate talented Canadian artists.

Cue the virtual fireworks! The Ontario Festival of Small Halls celebrates Canadian live music in spaces where you can feel the pulse of our nation’s small communities. To that end, we carefully cultivate a line up each year that is rich with Canadian artists.

Over the last three years, we have put together playlists featuring artists from our beautiful home country who were in our lineup for those fall festivals.

This year, as we’re still hoping to make the festival a go in some capacity, we’re looking back on those playlists and turning up the tunes.

Click here for the Canada 150th playlist from 2017, featuring Ashley MacIsaac, Great Lake Swimmers, Rose Cousins, Fred Penner, Jenn Grant and more!

Look here for the 2018 playlist featuring Kathleen Edwards, Colter Wall, Stephen Fearing, Lindi Ortega, Skydiggers, and more!

Click here for the Small Halls 2019 playlist featuring Lee Harvey Osmond, The Weather Station, LEAHY, The Devin Cuddy Band, The East Pointers, Madison Violet, Cassie and Maggie, Jeremy Fisher, The Redhill Valleys, Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys and more.

Happy Canada Day!
