Hunter Sheridan plays the Biltmore Theatre in Oshawa, Friday Oct. 22 2021

By Will McGuirk

Well if you want to see the next gen of musicians making things happen then check out this very fine line-up at the Biltmore Oct 22 2021. Hunter Sheridan, Hollowsage and the Three Mile Islanders, and Wooly are all scheduled to perform

Hunter Sheridan has been plugging away all over the D-Rock (he is currently based in Guelph) and its been a treat to see him emerge over the past years. This is his party and well deserved it is indeed.

I’m new to Hollowsage (Sagen Pearse of Uxbridge) but I did get to meet him at the OMA awards where he won a couple, and I am looking forward to more shows by this kat and his band.

Wooly have been a fave of mine since the outset, I have worked with them twice; once on the Bell Fibe TV show ‘Live at the Upstairs Basement’, and on a video shoot session previously at Blue Heron Books. Great folks, doing some inneresting things.

This is the one folks. These musicians have been making it all during lockdown, amid all the zoom and gloom, now they get to be back out, live and in-person, to perform whats been in their heads and bedrooms for almost two years.

Wooly release Blue Heron Books session video for "Mother'

By Will McGuirk

Wooly are a young four piece from Whitby working on the next level, I think they will get there. Building on relationships created while I was working recently in Uxbridge at Blue Heron Books with musician Matt Gunn and filmmaker Luke Camozzi, Wooly came in to record a session.

As you can the bookstore is a beauty, one of the finest independent bookstores in North America (its won awards folks) and it is the hub of the arts in north Durham Region. Take the time to visit and support with dollars, and while you are at check out the Second Wedge Brewery, another rad place in the downtown.

Matt Gunn is making music and making things happen and Luke is generous and professional and has a great eye.

There is a lack of all-ages opportunities for musicians in Durham Region - this is just one attempt at creating a platform for them here on slowcity.ca. It may lead to an actual space for all-ages shows, we will see, but I am happy to have this document of my time at Blue Heron and to share this video with you.

Anything like this takes a crew so thank you to Shelley and staff, Luke, Matt and the band; Alex, Jonah, Amika and Chris for the trust.
