Love and murder. In A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, at the Five Points Theatre in downtown Barrie from June 5 - 15, a distant heir to a family fortune sets out to speed up the line of succession by using a great deal of charm... and a dash of murder. It's the knock-'em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season. With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including best musical, book, direction and costumes, it …

Translations in Vision features recent works by Barrie-based multidisciplinary artist Katie Green, who explores ideas of transformation, process, and perception. Green reimagines her recent textiles through the unpredictable language of Risograph printing, where patterned fabrics and stitched borders become halftone dots and textured ink. Recurring symbols suggest movement and transformation, and the inherent imperfections of the Riso …

Loud. Very loud. Extreme metal outfit Art of Attrition, from Red Deer, Alta, are bringing their brand of heavy hitting metal to The Queen's in Barrie on May 8, along with 2024 Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champions, Toronto’s Beguiler. This cross-country trek marks a new chapter for both bands as they expand their reach. Enter the mosh pit for these two bands’ audio assaults of some good ol’ extreme sonic carnage. Art of Attrition recently …

Ahhh there you are…here’s Rush with their 16th studio album from 1996 Test For Echo. This version is a 2 Lp set 2025 reissue pressed on 180g vinyl. I have followed this band from my mid teens and they continue to be a big part of my life. So inspirational and the reason why I picked up the sticks! 🥁❤️

Everybody’s “Working For The Weekend” Here we go with some good ol’ Canadiana from Loverboy. Get Lucky, their 2nd lp was released in ‘81 and it’s a fun listen. We saw them in 2022 during the Live & Unzoomed tour along with REO & Styx. What a show ! 🎸🥁

Time for some good ol’ Canadiana with Rush, my fave band, and their 2002 release of “Vapor Trails”. For this album they put away the Keyboards & Synthesizers. On a sad note the band was on a hiatus for 5 years between albums (Test For Echo) as Neil Peart, drummer, suffered the loss of his wife and daughter on seperate circumstances. 😢 This version is a 2013 remixed 2 Lp set pressed on 180g vinyl. 🎸🥁
