Folk-Roots artist Tania Joy is the Co-founder, Executive Director/Artistic Director of Springtide Music Festival, a non-profit organization led by a volunteer team of business leaders and local musicians which draws over 60 acts to various venues from breweries and bistros to bookstores and clothing shops in historic downtown Uxbridge, northeast of Toronto. Springtide recognizes that live music venues in small cities and rural towns serve as a vivacious cultural hub for their communities and is committed to creating a platform to support and celebrate local talent, while fostering performance opportunities that introduce Canadian artists outside of the region to new audiences.

Since 2023 Springtide has partnered with Music Declares Emergency Canada to bring the climate conversation to festival audiences by sharing knowledge on the intersection of live music and climate action through initiatives that consider alternate travel to and from the festival to reduce emissions.

Music Declares Emergency Canada (MDE Canada) is an independent group, created by artists, music industry professionals and organisations concerned at the lack of a cohesive, industry-wide response to the climate emergency. MDE Canada believes in the power of music to promote the cultural change needed to create a better future.

Springtide premieres new concert series

On March 15th, Springtide and The Second Wedge Brewing Co. are bringing The Pairs back to Uxbridge after they captivated audiences with their performances at the 2023 Springtide festival.

While attending a ticketed evening show at Springtide sponsor, The Second Wedge Brewing Co. last fall – Bry Webb of the Constantines was the headliner, Springtide Music Festival Co-Founder, Tania Joy Senior, realized that the venue had the potential for those coveted house concert/listening room vibes, while also being a brewery tasting room.

The Springtide Presents Series is supplementary to the full Spring festival, aimed to bring bigger musical names to intimate Uxbridge venues year-round, and support touring acts throughout the year.

Joanne Richter, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of the Second Wedge Brewing Co. says the decision to pair up for this event was easy. “Uxbridge already has an outstanding music scene and it’s always enriching for a community when artists come through from outside of town,” says Richter. “It can be logistically and financially challenging to bring through a touring band, though, so partnering with Springtide Music Festival makes a lot of sense.” says Richter.

The Pairs is an indie-folk trio comprised of Noelle Frances Coughlin, Renée Coughlin, and Hillary Watson.

“Powered by soaring sister harmonies, this quirky trio’s unbottled chemistry quickly connects them to their audience,” notes their website. “With three distinct lead singer/songwriters, The Pairs offer a unique blend of music with stories of life’s hope, hilarity, and hardship.”

The Springtide Presents Series is planning to be shoulder events on either side of the full Springtide Music Festival, with one winter and one fall show each year, creating shared experiences and cultivating a unique connection between audience and performer.

The Pairs show will kick off at The Second Wedge Brewing Co. at 8pm and is a ticketed event for all ages! Tickets are selling fast. And weekend passes for the full June festival are also on sale now!
