There will be music in the air this summer once again as Shelburne’s fiddle fest is reborn as a Heritage Music Festival with hosts, the Rotary Club of Shelburne, hard at work preparing for this exciting new venue. It all takes place August 3 to 7 at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex.

Here is the exciting line-up of entertainment:

Thursday evening, August 3, the very cute Next Generation Leahy hits the stage at 7:00 with their family’s celebrated Celtic energy.

Friday evening presents a Canadian Superstar and Juno Award winner Jim Cuddy who will grace the stage as the major headliner of the festival, performing his signature folk-country style music on stage. The Jim Cuddy Band’s concert starts at 8:00 with doors open at 7:00. The new radio station Country 105 will be playing tunes pre-show and again following the concert till midnight, for all those who love to dance the evening away.

Friday during the day, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the 66th Canadian Open Fiddle Championship Playdowns get under way.

Saturday evening promises to be a great Fiddle Championship finale featuring former contest winners Scott Wood, Shane Cook, Matthew Johnston and James Bickle.
