Event Description

Jeff Callery + Shawn McCullough aka The Brothers Plaid kick off the 6th Annual WestPorch Festival on The Cove’s stage with their songbook of folk/rock/country and LAUGHS on Friday September 18th, 2026 from 5-8pm. Regular member Wade Foster may or may not be here…

Jeff Callery has been playing music for more than half of his life. He hit the road young playing with his band in bars, fairs, festivals and theaters all over the province of Ontario, Quebec and New York State. He won the ‘99 NY State Tru Value Country Star Search, the ‘07 NY State Colgate Country Showdown and placed in the National Semi-Finals of that same contest in West Virginia. His sound fits somewhere between James Taylor, John Mellencamp and Blue Rodeo.

Wade Foster was born and raised in Perth, ON. He is known all over the Ottawa Valley and beyond as a multi-instrumentalist and singer and is most recognized as a versatile fiddle player bringing new sounds into all genres of music, not just traditional fiddle. With a true passion for music and creativity, Wade enjoys performing and writing all styles of music. Wade has performed with an ever-growing list of artists. You may have seen him perform with Johnny Reid, Grand Ole Opry member Stonewall Jackson, Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame members Barry and Tracy Brown, Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame member Gail Gavan, DW James, Jay Aymar, Jeff Callery, and many more. He has been a part of opening acts for Kix Brooks, Blue Rodeo, Sammy Kershaw, Michelle Wright, Jason McCoy, Paul Brandt, Aaron Pritchett….the list goes on!

Shawn McCullough is a Master guitar player/singer/alternative lyricist/showman/songwriter. He has played and toured with Canadian Country star Jason McCoy (The Roadhammers) and has been a part of Telecaster supergroup The Telebastards featuring Steve Piticco, Country Pickin’ Mayhem Band with 2 x 7 time CCMA Guitarists of the Year, Wendell Ferguson and Steve Piticco, as well as a member of DoubleBack with Wade Foster and John Wilberforce. He is highly in demand as a session musician and sideman for his incredible skill, wit and stage presence. He has a solo record to his name “This is Me” and is currently performing with rising CMAO and CCMA nominated Country star Brea Lawrenson! His latest accomplishments are a series of singles released on Apple Music and Spotify getting lots of airplay on Country Music Radio. Check out “Change”, “Canadian Soldier”, “Sidewalk”, “Never Drinking Again”…more to come.
