9:00 PM - Gerald McGrath Band

Gerald McGrath released his debut solo album "This Is Fine" in 2024; each song a story weaving between love, loss, nostalgia, heartbreak, and joy. He has created an album with great hooks, hummable melodies, and well-crafted lyrics using his unique talent for creating memorable songs.

10:00 PM - Galvanic 42

Galvanic 42 stripped down to its basic elements is a band composed of a traditional alignment of guitar, bass and drums. These three elements conspire to produce original music rising out of the rust of society. This corrosion of metallic elements is influenced by the universal constant in direct proportion to the meaning of life (42). Galvanic 42 performs and composes original music and adds some creative interpretations of Canadiana and anything else we can throw into the mix. It's all about the sounds that these elements create. Iain provides a driving beat, to back drop some searing guitar from Andy, and a mercurial bass from Huw that ties together vocals that are formed from the geographic entity that is Kingston Ontario.

11:00 PM - Nate The Nobody

NateTheNobody is an emerging artist blending alternative rock, emo, and blues, with introspective lyrics. Based in Napanee, Ontario, NTN delivers high-energy performances with emotionally charged storytelling. With new music on the way, they’re an artist to watch in the Canadian rock scene.

12:00 AM - RustPump

RustPump - High Energy Canadian Rock and Roll band based in Kingston, Ontario that prioritizes crowd experience and having a good time. The bands sound is inspired by Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and modern bands like The Strokes and Kaleo.
