Support Local Music

When I was growing up my dad always told me to support local music talent because not only do they deserve to get noticed and be successful but also you get the chance to see some great shows up close before you're only able to see them at a big venue. 


Many well known musicians come from my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario.  Among them would be Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Teenage Head, and more recently known, the Arkells.  The Arkells signed their first record deal in 2006 and went on to create the album "Jackson Sqaure" (which happens to be the name of a mall in Hamilton) which sky rocketed them to stardom.  I was lucky enough to see them play in a small venue in Hamilton a few years ago and it was a fantastic show.  Below is a song from their soon to be released second album "Michigan Left".
