Our 3rd exciting act is on Saturday, March 13th - Outskirts - Celebrating the Music of Blue Rodeo!

Outskirts is an Eastern Ontario six-piece celebrating the music of one of Canada’s most beloved bands - Blue Rodeo. Outskirts isn't about simply recreating a greatest-hits record. The band's goal is to channel the music — capturing the guitars, harmonies, pedal steel, keyboards, rhythm and emotion that have made Blue Rodeo such an enduring part of the Canadian musical landscape. The result is a full, dynamic live show that moves comfortably between familiar hits, deeper album cuts, beautiful ballads and the country-rock songs that have kept generations of Canadian music fans coming back.

Tickets will be available online at TicketsPlease for $30 plus fees and at the Township of Athens office for $30 (cash only) starting Thursday, September 10th.
