Wake Up Raise The Curtain....What better possible way could there be to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Canada than singing Northern Wish down the highway from our Nation's Capital on Canada Day? Seriously....Rheostatics on Canada's 150th Birthday show in Picton Ontario at the beautiful Regent Theatre....what could be better? This is an amazing opportunity for all Eastern Ontario and Quebec fans to get their fix of Clark era awesomeness along with brand new material. The May shows in Toronto were spectacularly great and this one should be even better.
Rheostatics will be performing from 8-10PM on Saturday August 12 2017 at the Jackson Triggs Amphitheatre in Niagara On The Lake Ontario.
