Concert goers showed proof of vaccination in order to enter Shaw Park and were entertained by what awaited them.

The diverse lineup ranged from newer performers like bilingual artist Kelly Bado and jazz guitarist Jocelyn Gould to William Prince and Sierra Noble to Chantal Kreviazuk, Tom Cochrane. Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings closed out the show with a rousing set list of classics from the Guess Who, BTO and Burton Cummings’ solo career.
