An Evening with Cuff The Duke LIVE at The Second Wedge

Springtide and The Second Wedge Brewing Co. are excited to present our first fall event in the Springtide Presents concert series.

On Friday November 8th, join us for Cuff The Duke LIVE at The Second Wedge, along with local supporting act, Black Spruce.

With a foundation in Canadian roots rock and a penchant for crafting noisy guitar jams, Cuff the Duke’s unique blend of genres has consistently escaped the confines of simple classification, earning them an honoured place under the umbrella of “alternative.”

Six albums, a pair of JUNO nods, countless miles clocked on the road, including sharing stages with iconic acts like BlueRodeo, Hayden Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Calexico. Then, poof! A ten-year vanishing act, playing only a handful of shows in that time. But like all great tales, ours has a twist: Cuff the Duke has reemerged from the shadows.

Poised to once again cross musical borders as effortlessly as a game of hopscotch, their comeback is more than a mere addition to their discography—it’s a homecoming celebration of their enduring legacy and the love of getting together with old friends and playing music.

We are also pleased to invite local act Black Spruce to open the evening. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the northern wilderness, Black Spruce blends indie-folk, roots, and ambient textures to create a soundscape that feels both organic and ethereal.

In March of 2024, the Springtide Presents series launched with a sold out show featuring folk group, The Pairs. We can’t wait to be back with another stellar night of music.

Tickets for this event are ON SALE NOW! And we don’t think these will last long, so don’t wait, get your tickets before it’s too late!

Event Date: Friday, November 8, 2024 8pm

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!

Springtide welcomes Good Lovelies to Uxbridge Music Hall

We are excited to begin the countdown to this year’s festival with our first artist announcement headlining the launch party at Uxbridge Music Hall on Thursday, June 6, 2024. Please join us in welcoming Good Lovelies for their first ever performance in Uxbridge!

About Good Lovelies

The rich complexity of life is the emotional focus of the much-anticipated new album from one of Canada’s most accomplished and harmonious trios – Good Lovelies.

The songs on We Will Never Be the Same, crafted by the Juno Award-winning ensemble of Kerri Ough, Sue Passmore and Caroline Marie Brooks, are as compelling as the engaging vocal harmonies for which the group has been known for the last 17 years as they mine the complex feelings experienced by women who have come to ponder some of the big questions of life.

This new album is both a return to a more elemental, acoustic-based musical platform reaching back to the early days of the Good Lovelies, as well as an immersive emotional experience crafted by three seasoned songwriters who bring their own real-life stories in all their dynamism and messy complexity to the fore.

We Will Never Be the Same is the group’s fifth full-length studio album adding to a widely acclaimed catalogue of recordings that also includes two beloved Christmas releases. It adds to their already popular concert repertoire as they return to tread the boards in venues throughout North America, the U.K., Europe, Australia, and beyond.

It is a testament not only to their artistry, but also their humanity, and is an album that will continue to endear this beloved group to fans of all ages.

 

About the show

We are thrilled to bring Uxbridge Music Hall back as a venue in this year’s festival lineup for it’s premier acoustics and perfect location steps away from restaurants, bars and shops along the festival route in the downtown core. This show is a stand alone performance purchased as a seperate ticket with limited reserved seating. We recommend reserving your seats early!

The Pairs Live in Concert at The Second Wedge

Get ready for an extraordinary evening of soulful indie folk music as Springtide Music Festival and The Second Wedge Brewing Co. proudly present “An Evening with The Pairs” live at the brewery. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our co-presented music series with the return of The Pairs for this upcoming show filled with captivating melodies, enchanting harmonies, and memorable storytelling. Mark your calendars for Friday, March 15 at 8pm and prepare to be moved by The Pairs’ mesmerizing live performance.

About The Second Wedge Brewing Co.
Located in Uxbridge, Ontario, The Second Wedge Brewing Co. is a prominent craft brewery known for its exceptional craft beers and strong connection to the community. As part of our shared commitment to supporting live music, we are excited to co-present this music series with Springtide Music Festival that will bring together music enthusiasts in a vibrant and inviting space. Join us at The Second Wedge Brewing Co. and experience the magic of live music in the heart of our brewery.

About The Pairs
The Pairs, an indie folk trio based in London, Ontario, are ready to captivate you with their soulful melodies and poetic storytelling. Their unique musical style, characterized by enchanting harmonies and delicate acoustic guitar, will transport you to a world of emotion and reflection. With three distinct lead singer/songwriters, The Pairs offer a unique blend of music with stories of life’s hope, hilarity, and hardship.

These classically trained vocalists blur the line between the stage and the crowd as if we’ve pulled up a seat around their family’s lively kitchen table. This award-winning group has been touring internationally in Canada, the USA, and Europe since 2022 and released their third studio album titled, “When Will We Find Our Way?” on October 13th 2023.

About: WHEN WILL WE FIND OUR WAY?

We often joke about how The Pairs started as three friends coming together to play music that soothed our achy hearts. It was our own little form of group therapy that has since changed our lives for the better and continues expanding to include more and more people like you.

As we share this experience with one another, we’re learning to have the courage to voice how it is we truly feel, and this in turn creates an opportunity to connect with those that might feel the same way. We start to build a new way of looking at the world within us and the world around us, and together we imagine new possibilities for what the future might look like.

We’ve all been handed stories and ideas about ourselves from the day we were born. We’re bombarded with messages about who we ought to be, how we should or shouldn’t expect to be treated, and how we are supposed to show up to the world around us. We’re made to believe that truth is finite, binary, and absolute, while taught to remove the nuance and complexity from our existence.

Our latest album is a collection of songs that engage with our own experiences of unraveling and rebuilding. These songs share our own encounters with unmet expectations in life and love. Not only romantic love but the love we hold for ourselves. It’s about learning how to embrace the parts of our identities that our culture has shamed us into ignoring and how to honestly look at how we contribute to the ongoing problems that are faced by people within and outside of our communities. We strive to encounter it all with an open heart, ready to feel the grief that comes from letting go of a life we thought we knew and choosing to move forward in a more meaningful and liberating way.

For us, singing our songs can feel like shaking off the parts of ourselves we no longer wish to carry – the shame, the avoidance, the self-ridicule – and while choosing a path different from where we’ve been before is uncertain and precarious at times, it feels empowering to publicly share who it is we wish to become.

We hope that our music and live shows can engage people in optimistic and meaningful conversations about making real change within ourselves. By trusting that there is more than one way to live our lives, we can better show up for the demands of the world around us and better support our communities. It’s about rethinking our purpose as humans and cultivating a more vibrant and expansive way of being together on and with this planet we all call home.

Everything You Need To Know About Springtide Part 1!

We are one week away from Springtide Music Festival 2023 so here’s everything you need to know about this year’s festival–buckle up!

Springtide 2023 runs Friday, June 9th to Sunday, June 11th with multiple venues and stages across Downtown Uxbridge, featuring a wide range of Canadian musicians. This means you get access to tons of live music to choose from all weekend long!

Outdoor Main Stage
After their post-tornado rebuild, The Second Wedge Brewing Co. is back as the hosts of our Outdoor Main Stage. The full stage set up will be located next to the shiny, new brewery building and is where you will catch acts like festival headliners, The Sadies on Springtide Saturday, and viral TikTok star Billianne on festival Sunday.

Festival Trolley
If you’re from Uxbridge, you’ve likely seen the antique Town Trolley driving around town for special occasions and events! On Friday evening and Saturday evening from 6pm to Midnight the trolley will maintain a continuous loop around Uxbridge to making stops at local neighborhoods and festival venues for folks to catch all the music they want in a timely ‘hop on’ and ‘hop off’ fashion. This unique shuttle experience is the perfect way to get you around town, and save you the need to bring your car! Watch for the Trolley Signs along the festival route! The full route can be found on our website at springtidemusicfestival.com

Youth Stage, Kids Social and more!
Along with our awesome musical performances, Springtide is excited to share some exciting workshops and activities for kids!

Our young, budding talent will be sharing their musical skills on Springtide Saturday’s Youth Stage, located at the Uxbridge Legion from 1:30pm to 5 pm. You will hear 9 performances, from artists 18 and under, including one Youth Stage alumni, Else Langhans, and a special performance by young inspiration, Billianne from Milton, Ontario. Entry is included with a Saturday or Weekend Wristband and or is $10 at the door without one. Admission for Kids 12 and under is free when accompanied by a wristband holding adult.

At The Bridge Social from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday you can catch 3 workshops where you can get up close and personal with some of your favourite artists.

2:00pm Storytelling or I’m Not Telling hosted by The Pairs with panelists Aleksi Campagne, Dawna Marie, and Geoff Holt (Barn Cat). Do you want your listeners to know exactly what you are singing about, or do you prefer that the interpretation is completely open to their imagination? Let’s talk about songs that were misinterpreted and let’s talk about how much you want people to know.

3:00pm The One That Got Away hosted by Sarah Beatty with panelists, Bernadette Connors, Alannah Kemp and Rachel Hickey. There are so many great stories of songs that nearly got left off albums and then went on to become hits, but what about the other side of the coin? Let’s discuss artist instinct – when you know a song has completely delivered but maybe it didn’t garner the interest that you thought it would? How does it make you feel? Do You move on, do you imagine the time just hasn’t arrived yet for this particular song…?

Finally at 4:00pm Which Came First: The Song Or The Story, hosted by Stephen Stanley with panelists, NEFE, Mikhail Laxton and Burs. Each of the three artists on the panel will play a song that has a personal story meaning to them and will discuss fact vs. fiction, was it a melody that launched the narrative? Did the story completely drive the forming of the tune? Did you embellish, did you add, did you omit? Are there gaps left for the listener to fill in?

On Springtide Sunday, the fun continues with 3 family friendly workshops, hosted by our friends a Music Declares Emergency. Along with bucket drumming at 2pm, The Bridge Social will host Climate Care for the Young, an interactive musical workshop for families, with songs and stories, and resources for parents and caregivers to build knowledge around the power of singing to support children in a time of climate crisis.

At 3:00 pm at the Fig Kitchen & Market will feature Changing the Tune on Climate: the role of music in the transition to a culture of care and sustainability.  Music Declares Emergency Canada’s co-ordinator Kim Fry will be joined by Springtide artists Braden Lam, Mimi O’Bonsawin and songwriter Tiiu Tutt of Land Heart Song for a panel discussion about the role of music and the music industry in taking climate action.

July 3, 2022

By Will McGuirk

After the recent tornado destroyed a good chunk of Uxbridge, including the community hub, the Second Wedge Brewery, it was to the community itself to which those hit by nature’s wrath turned. It was local resilience against the global winds of climate change which has enabled the town to recover albeit slowly. We Shall Overcome could be the town’s motto, built as it is on its Quaker heritage and artists in residence present. It is a town full of makers, those who make things and those who make things better.

So after, not just two years of a pandemic and those associated shutdowns, but also the unexpected swirl of chaos which struck the town on Saturday May 21, the community of Uxbridge will be out in force for the we made it joys of Springtide Festival on July 21, 22, and 23.

There are several nationally known acts performing but the three day bill is heavier with local acts. Here are five for sure do not miss them acts:

Speaking of local resilience these Band of Weeds continue to pop-up around the town as the roots are strong and deep in this gathering of friends, which it would be fair to call a supergroup of Uxbridge musicians. Alannah Kemp as lead vocal, keys/guitar, Michael Hamilton (of M. H. Vernon) on bass/backup vocals, Thom Harvey (of STRNGR STRNGR) on lead guitar, Amy Peck (of Professors of Funk) on saxophone and Matt Gunn (of EightFiveTwo) on drums!

Geoff Holt is another local stalwart, a galvanizing force in the town. He has a couple of solo albums available. He also has Orangabang and Pawns on his resume but for me its his Musical Bingo nights which showcase his enthusiastic love of music and of community building.

Hollowsage is a transplant whose roots music have taken hold in Uxbridge. He is originally from the Soo but came south. There’s a darkness in his songs but also a deep humanity and empathy. Solo or with his band the Three Mile Islanders the songs of Hollowsage present truth as beauty but equally as beastly, and his music serves as a salve, his set at Springtide will no doubt be a tearful celebration.

Rory Taillon has gone north to Ottawa but his connection to the community along Reach Road is as strong as ever. He is returning to the spiritual home for Springtide but as has been written by some (ahem) the voice of Rory is such a force Uxbridge council could capitalize and weaponize his voice to be used against any future tornados.

Nerima are not of the Trail Capital but they are trekking to the town from the other side of the Oak Ridge. These young folks are of Whitby and Oshawa but their camaraderie and companionship would not be out of place. They are a band of seeds for a new generation of Springtide, one with civic pride at its core, but room to grow and gather.

Like music, community only gets stronger as it becomes more inclusive. Inclusivity is the secret to resiliency, a resiliency to ward off all manner of circumstances.
