About Brodie: It’s her voice that jumps out at you…she makes a clear, direct hit and seduces you with a bit of smoky overtone. And you might as well not look back, and just hold on for the ride... Brodie Dawson was born in Hamilton, Ontario and grew up at first unaware of the magnitude of those musical seeds developing within her. Her father Brent Dawson a successful soul / blues musician, helped to form the grassroots core of the Hamilton music scene, pals with players such as Richard Newell aka King Biscuit Boy, Lance Kiernan, and Danny Lockwood. Being immersed in a life of music, Brodie began to absorb this incredible energy that is transformed into her own magical style.

A GREEN HOLIDAY! | St. Patrick's DayMonday, March 17th

It's not all about green beer and getting pinched! Locally we have a ton of options for celebrating our favourite Irish holiday in good cheer and fun.

Check out our local pubs and restaurants for delicious fare and carefully crafted brews to tilt your glass with. This year, since it lands on a Monday, watch for happenings throughout the weekend making the celebration longer and easier to take advantage of the festivities.

And do wear some green to show your pride (just maybe not seafoam green, because... yeah, you know...)
