The Stonebridge Wasaga Beach Blues Junior Jam provides local kids with an opportunity to perform with professionals in front of an audience. All the while developing and building their musical skills in a fun, friendly and accessible way. Blues music is roots music, and the youth are our roots. What better way to pass the torch than to have experienced artists guiding our youth in a live stage environment.

Eyes of Violet is a jazz fusion group bringing a youthful touch to the local music scene. Founded by bassist and composer Sophia Moore, the band evolved from the Collingwood Collegiate music rooms to the regional festival circuit without missing a beat. The quartet, featuring Moore on bass, Ben Zadok on drums, Maximilian Alexander Ochocinski on guitar, and Rowan Taylor on keys, is building a reputation for technical, groove-heavy performances. From local fundraisers to outdoor concert stages, they’re becoming a go-to name for live music across Simcoe and Grey County.
