Brock Zeman is once again playing in Sarnia.

This time out Brock will be playing the big stage at this years Bayfest in a back-up slot for Toby Keith, July 20^th.

Here is the Bayfest web site; http://www.sarniabayfest.com/

 

It should be a great opportunity for Brock to showcase himself to a huge audience. CMT will be at this years show;  http://www.tourismsarnialambton.com/main/ns/16/doc/476

 

Brock will be playing on a huge stage that was purchased this year to accommodate the big acts that are scheduled, he will be playing on the same stage that Aerosmith played the previous night. Stage link; http://www.sarniabayfest.com/?q=stage

 

Brock has had little advance notice for such an important gig and had to shuffle his current bookings in order to play this show, Brock does have a band but is unable to tour with them due to economic restraints of humping ones own music, but will be accompanied by Dan Walsh and for anyone who has heard the Bourbon Sessions CD with Dan knows they are a killer duo.

Link to Brocks tour schedule; http://www.brockzeman.com/calendar.html  Note Brocks set time for Bayfest if you plan on attending and supporting Brock.

 

Bayfest has turned into a huge summer festival and everyone knows these events are not always the best to take in an artist, due to outdoor conditions, crowds, or over exuberant fans, but Brock truly deserves a break and more exposure to bring his talents to a larger audience and this may be just one such event.

I urge people to come out in support of Brock and to let the organizers of Bayfest know we appreciate them booking up-and-coming or undiscovered Canadian talent.

Link for Bayfest organizers;  michele@sarniabayfest.com

 

I know there are some Spades fans here on the board so I have included a link to their web page that has a youtube video of their Bayfest performance so one can get a feel for the size of the crowd at this event; http://www.thespades.ca/MAIN.html

 

I wish you all the best Brock and hope this proves to help garner the attention and recognition your talent deserves.
