Following the resounding success of the first ever Bareknuckle Record Company Garage Rock and BBQ Jubilee held last September, Bareknuckle Records has decided to organize the second annual Garage Rock and BBQ Jubilee! This event, sponsored by Labatt’s brewery, takes place on Saturday September 6th at the Pig’s Ear Tavern on Brock Street in downtown Peterborough. This event starts at two with live music on the patio of the Pig’s Ear till dusk when the music shifts indoors. Expect more than a dozen musical acts to take the stage. Acts are still being confirmed and the line-up will be announced shortly.
This musical celebration, inspired by musical festivals of the deep south, was designed to showcase the local rock scene that has tremendous talent! There will something for everyone! Blues, surf rock, hard rock, melodic rock, pop rock, indie rock and punk rock!
In addition, Muddy’s Pit BBQ will be cooking authentic BBQ for this event with his portable BBQ smoker, serving up some of the best smoked BBQ this side of the border! Ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket are on the menu this year. Get there early before they sell out (which indeed they did last year!)!
The Jubilee line up is still to be finalized but bands confirmed to be participating in this first time event include:
Sun Rarara Lair of Sleeping Panther Burnt Toast The Last Men on Earth Rippin’ Donnies The Diplomats The Venisons A Paltry Sum Weird Weather and more bands to be announced
Special Guests include: Mississippi Grover (from Kingston ON) The Robots (from Oshawa ON)
Tickets are $7 in advance at the Spill and Bluestreak Records (both locations on George Street in downtown Peterborough) and tickets will be available for $10 at the door.
More information is to follow, including band schedule, more band announcements and more information.
