I wasn’t sure what to expect and I so enjoyed it!! It would have been 5 star but the sound system was poor. You cannot amplify the whole room with 2 speakers at the stage! You need two more midway for mid to backIt was way too loud the first half as we were up front and everyone else was saying the same. Sound is one expense you MUST not cheap out on. It can make or break a show
We had a great time and visited 4 of the venues. Our takeaway was that no one appeared to be checking wristbands upon entry which made us feel like we paid for the experience but many others did not.Also, when the performances are long, we need something more sturdy than pic nic tables to sit at for 4 or 5 hours. Some venues were noticably too small. Side Launch had the most space, but it was tough to navigate the crowd to get to the bar and there was no table service...maybe not a bad thing we didn't drink nearly as much!! LOL. BUT they lost out on some solid revenue. Also, if the weather is not as nice next year the venue choices need to be really well thought out. And if I am being really picky, after paying for two weekend passes it is unfortunate to have to pay for parking at The Village.
First the artists were absolutely incredible! I especially loved the event at the barn I’m grateful I got to experience that. The organizers like Scotty and others whom I do not know their names also were very responsive to emails and worked hard to make sure things went smoothly. Some feedback: The spaces chosen for ex Bellows were too small for the amount of people so we didn’t get to enjoy that place. Having to be turned away or standing on the sidewalk wasn’t ideal. Secondly, not being able to enjoy food at the event at bent taco was not ideal either. We came to the event hungry, not having eaten lunch, but weren’t able to eat because we wanted to make sure we got our seat where the performers were going to be. They told us zero food service back there. If we had known there would be no serving or food allowed where the artists were we would’ve ate before we came. We fully intended that we would drink eat and watch the artists but that restaurant they wanted you to do that at the table and then go to the back and watch the artist. well we wouldn’t of had a seat to sit on. We got to the event on time and had to go back there to procure a seat. So we didn’t have lunch and were hungry until dinner. They could’ve planned to at least offered two or three items for those who were sitting near the artists on the grass, for example, guac and chips, sliders, or whatever else they could’ve served that’s easy and could use a basket instead of dishes and allowed us to eat in the back. I thought next time maybe having a lot more bars involved like it is in Nashville would solve that problem of the places been too full ThankYou for the event and all the hard work! It was wonderful other than a few of these things.
Great To See Live Music!It was a great attempt in Collingwood & can't wait to see where it grows next year! So many people are excited to see live music- but the venues chosen were too small for the number of people there- which caused issues with food & drink service. Venues need to ensure that they are overstaffed for these events next year.It would have been nice to see in the emails from the organizers the names of the performers playing in the various locations so we knew where to find folks on the Saturday & then could follow them on social media and streaming platforms later. At some locations it was very hard to hear them introduce themselves. Signs telling us their names would be great too!
We’ve been to Nashville 12 times, and have attended Tin Pan South - the songwriters’ festival on many occasions. We really like the format of songwriters doing “rounds” - telling the story of how each song got written, and any subsequent history with that song - and then they perform it. So it was really exciting to learn that someone is bringing that format to our own neighborhood! The venue (GL Heritage Brewing Co in Amherstburg, ON,) with a BBQ food truck, and delicious beer on tap, in a large outdoor tent, was fun. I hope the format takes hold, and if it does, perhaps we can entice some better-known singer-songwriters to make the 10 hour drive/flight from Nashville. I am aware many “mid-level artists” will do backyard concerts. You never know who might say “yes” until you ask. But discovering, and then following new artists is half the fun! We really enjoyed it. We hope to see more coming this way! Thank you!
We loved the entertainment and the venue. But the food was horrible. Waited 1 hour and 10 min for a sloppy burger that wasn’t cooked thoroughly and hung out on all sides from the bun. Asked for no sauce and it was smothered with bbq sauce. Next time will eat elsewhere before the show. Big Mac BBQ was a huge disappointment!!
