Last night, in conjunction with @stringbone.bsky.social Presents!, we hosted the amazing The Grapes of Wrath acoustic duo of Tom Hooper and Kevin Kane at #RevivalHouse in #StratfordOntario! As part of #TheRootsRamble series, they wowed the house! #music #indie #concert #festival #TheGrapesOfWrath

The Onrush Music Festival was so proud to support our friends at String Bone Presents! to kick off the first annual #TheRootsRamble series at #RevivalHouse in #StratfordOntario last week. Featuring Ginger St. James, @stringbone.bsky.social, and Stevie T Band. #music #indie #concert #festival

Lately last year’s festival shirts are popping up everywhere! It’s a beautiful thing to see. #musicfestival #music #festival #merch #swag #logo

Training the next generation of sound techs. @trfharrison.linuxstep.org’s son Sasha wanted to make sure that #CabinFever got the best mix possible! #music #localmusic #stratfordontario #musicfestival #sound #folk #roots

Colette (Liesa), Luc (Tim), and Biff Steak (Rick). The best #LiveryAfterDark crew through heat, humidity, severe storms, and flooding!

All my love to #TaylorsDeli for the hospitality and #GraysonMills for the staging.

And to #GenerationRainbowCollective: we’re proud to stand with and support you.

This past Saturday, as part of our #LiveryAfterDark series, we hosted the #StratfordOntario #PoetLaureate, @davidstonespoet.bsky.social, Youth Poet Laureate Quinn Mayer, feat. Jaron Camp on guitar at #TheLiveryYard! An incredible 60s coffee house vibe with such talented wordsmiths!

This past Friday, as part of our #LiveryAfterDark series, we helped host the lovely and talented #CabinFever band at #TheLiveryYard in #StratfordOntario! We couldn’t pass up another chance to bring them back to Stratford and show them off! Check them out at thatcabinfeverband.com and love them too!

This past Thursday, as part of our #LiveryAfterDark series, we helped host #LaurenNeilson and @daynamanning.bsky.social’s #FolkArmy students’ showcase at #TheLiveryYard in #StratfordOntario! What an amazing evening of hearing the future stars of Stratford’s music scene! Blurred to protect the kids.

So, in conjunction with #DestinationStratford #StratfordAfterDark #MusicPopupFund, we put on a three-night series of entertainment!

We raised over $500 in donations for the Generation Rainbow Collective.

Photos coming!

This weekend, we did a thing:

We had the opportunity to work together to help produce three nights of entertainment at our local coffee shop, #TheLiveryYard to help raise some funds for #GenerationRainbowCollective, a safe space program for LGBTQIA2S+ youth in #StratfordOntario

Oh, have I got ideas! :)

No one can dare say Stratford doesn't have so much to offer musically! We love Dayna! @daynamanning.bsky.social

A lovely post! Congratulations on your performance, Ron. Kurt killed at the Nick Drake tribute here in Stratford.

Even more amazing artists from the 2024 festival! Jessica Sevier, Sharron Katz (feat. Iain McNally), and Barry James Payne & String Bone! #localmusic #indieartists #musicfestival #onrushfestival

When you need to make a show work, a stage manager is a critical resource. All our love to Rick Welbanks, our Stage Manager and overall fixit guy!

More of our great artists from 2024! Cabin Fever, Leanne Mayer, and Mandippal!

We were proud to partner in 2024 with the United Way Perth-Huron in our first season to help replenish the Urgent Needs Fund. This fund supports local residents in a time of crisis. We raised over $3000 through sales, donation, and an auction. #unitedway #community #support #caringforourneighbours

The Onrush Music Festival was launched in 2024 with a mission to foster unsigned and independent artists. Some of the amazing artists who joined us were Arcade Allstars, Doomed Roadtrips, Emm Gryner, and Bedouin Soundclash! #musicfestival #localmusic #indiemusic #onrushfestival

We're now on Bluesky!
