Johnny Reid on Tour
When Johnny Reid introduces a song, his natural Scottish burr is plain as day, but as soon as the Canadian country star — who moved to Canada as a kid — starts to sing, the North American spirit inhabits him. Reid's voice is full of classic country twang, but at the same time it bears a gruff brand of soulfulness that can sometimes make him sound like a country version of Bruce Springsteen. The band pumping away behind him sports a similar mixture of musical flavors, bringing a dash of rock 'n' roll and soul to Reid's countrified tunes. Never one to put on airs, Reid brings a guy-next-door vibe to his performances, no matter how big the venue, and even when he's got the crowd singing along in an arms-aloft anthem, he still has a way of maintaining an intimate connection with his audience on every song.
Johnny Reid in Concert
When Johnny Reid was a child in the small Scottish town of Lanark, it would have seemed incredibly unlikely that he would grow up to become a Canadian country music star — but that's exactly what he did. Reid was 13 when he and his family made the move to Canada, and it didn't take long for him to soak up the North American vibe that would one day guide his career. In 1997 Reid released his debut album, Another Day, Another Dime. It wasn't until his third album, 2005's Born to Roll, that things really began to take off for Reid; the single "Gypsy Soul" hit No. 12 on the Canadian country charts, and the album eventually went platinum in Canada. Solidly on the path to stardom, Reid went on to score a long string of hits in the years to come. In the process, he also managed to rack up an astonishing number of honors, including multiple Juno awards, and a towering heap of awards from the Canadian Country Music Association.
Great job Lucknow! Will for sure come back next year. The event was set up very well!! A great idea to have 12 busses at the end of the night. Getting back to our vehicle was very quick!! The performers were awesome. We went to see Johnny Reid!! Tartan Army!! But EVERYONE was awesome! Had a great time!
Music in the Fields was great! It seemed very well organized for this first time event. The lineup of entertainment was phenomenal. We will definitely check it out next year!
Had a great time. Well organized, great talent, could see that everyone worked really hard on this event right down to the details. The only thing I could say if you wish ideas is the minor detail that many of our group would have loved a coffee. Thanks for a great time.
Lucknow's Music in the Fields Rocked. The whole day was so awesome. It was Fun filled from start to the Amazing finish. River Junction Band is a band to be watching the are going to be big. Tara and Alex where so great. George Canyon was so spectacular. He was so nice when I got his autogragh. Doc Walker was Rockin. They kept you pumped up. And last but not least Johnny Reed was so soulful and so freaking amazing. Didn't want it to end. My sister and I enjoyed ourselves so much. Can't wait for next year.
All of the performers were great. We were there from the beginning and really enjoyed the River Junction Band.....and wow they are from Lucan!! Everything was great....my only complaint is not being able to take in anything to eat or drink. What about diet restrictions???? There was no healthy food choices available.....which meant for a long day for a person with diet restrictions......They even made me throw out my apple. This is a big concern for me and I hope that some better choices are available next time.
The music was good. But we had to leave to catch the last bus to get back to our car before Jim Cuddy was even done. J. Reid is good, but I was more interested in hearing Jim. They should have had more vendors, it would have been nice to get a hot cup of coffee.
I bought the tickets for my husband for our 39th Wedding Anniversary which is June 20. We hadn't attended an outdoor concert for years and didn't know just what to expect. We found the music was extraordinary and even though some was not to our ordinary listening we found it very entertaining. The security was very friendly and efficient. The food and drink prices were reasonably priced. The weather was almost perfect. We had a wonderful time. What more can I say
Of course Johnny Reid, Jim Cuddy and Corb Lund were fantastic, but I was really impressed with the local band Midnite Ryder. The sound was great, lots of talent in the band!
The Sadies and Corb Lund Were Awesome!!!..........Confused about Serena Ryder and Daniel Lanois.......They were good but out of place......Jonny Ried and Diane Chase OKAY.
This event, with camping, shuttle buses, preferred seating, well organized, chairs allowed. It was So well planned and with Fantastic entertainment I would never hesitate to return with a dozen of my closest friends!!!
