Four-years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing up and coming Wasaga Beach artist, Sydney Riley where she came in third place in the Singer/Songwriter Category at the Battle of the Sands Competition held during the Wasaga Beach Waterfront Festival. According to the judges, she was one to watch closely.
Since then, she has received a “FACTOR Artist Development Grant” early this year and has released her first EP on September 14th titled “Water” available across all streaming platforms with hard copies accessible via her live performances.
“Water” was inspired by growing up in a beach town. “It made sense for me to have my first collection of songs revolve around the theme of water. The beach has always been a place, I’ve gone to collect my thoughts and ground myself in a way. The ‘Water’ EP describes the ups and downs of relationships with not only others, but with oneself. I wanted the whole EP to feel like one wave coming up during a big lightning storm, then settling down under clear skies,” said Sydney.
Inspired by Led Zeppelin and Queen, her music genre is a mix between folk, pop with roots in rock. Sydney brings heartfelt, deeply personal lyrics to a powerful voice, creating music with her art.
Joining Dianna via zoom from Wasaga Beach is singer/songwriter, Sydney Riley. For more information visit sydneyriley.com or her social media platforms.

“Kingdom Come”, is one of eight singles Jennifer aims to release in 2021, and comes on the heels of “Enemy” and “Now or Never” which were used in the Russian television drama called “Silver Spoon” and netted her more than 474,000 in discography streams.
In 2017, Jennifer was accepted into the prestigious ISINA Mentorship Program in Los Angeles, a worldwide talent search and development program where her professional career took flight.

“Hourglass” bears many of the trademarks of other McLauchlan albums, including powerful folk and country flavoured songs of a personal, philosophical and topical nature.
The album is also a collection of songs that address the shocking events of the recent past and the ongoing trajectory of a troubled world but also the sweetness of life itself.
Much of “Hourglass” was written in the past year, during anxious COVID times of mask-wearing, social distancing and seemingly endless lockdowns. Although there is one song on the recording called “Pandemic Blues” Murray doesn’t think of “Hourglass” as a pandemic album.
It is a true honour to welcome via ZOOM award-winning artist, Murray McLauchlan. For more information visit murraymclauchlan.com.

Bonds of Mara marked their last show by headlining at the 7th Annual Georgian Triangle Music Festival at the Wasaga Beach RecPlex on August 24th.
This super group consists of current and former members of some notable multi-platinum selling acts led by ex-I Mother Earth singer, Brian Byrne; Sal Costa, guitar/back-up vocal; Dave Benedict, bass and Daryl Ralph, drums.
Together they create the best of both-world by merging experience with fresh enthusiasm and raw urgency, a new force to be reckoned with.
As for the meaning of the name, Mara, the demon who tempted the Buddha, is associated with death, rebirth, and desire. Broadly speaking, Mara is anti-enlightenment, working to keep seekers from pushing forward. To break the “bonds of Mara” requires focus and determination.

Our good friend Terry Welte is visiting in town and we thought that her story is worth telling. Many here in Wasaga Beach and beyond follow her blog when it is up and running. http://sailmichellem.blogspot.ca
Terry is a long time resident of Wasaga Beach 1991 to 2011. She was a teacher at various schools within the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School board and later taught at Georgian College.
Terry was an active member of the Wasaga Beach Kinette Club for many years and represented Georgian College at the Rotary club.
Terry was born in a Refugee Camp in Austria. Her family was sponsored by a Church in Southern Ontario which brought about their move from Austria to Canada. She and her husband Geb reside in Austria during the summer months and winter on the boat during the winter months. They sold all their personal belongings including their much loved home here in Wasaga Beach to live the adventure of their lives.
Their boat "Michelle M" is a 47' custom build sail boat from Quebec. It is 50 years old and has been restored by her husband. The couple took a sailing course before sailing off into their new life. Their first trip out brought them to the middle of Hurricane Sandy. Their second most rough crossing was from Cuba to Mexico in November of 2013.
Terry is currently writing a book entitled "But I do not want to live on a Boat" which she hopes to finish within the year, time permitting.
Next stop is back to Guatemala for the winter. Geb is there now preparing the boat for more adventures.
Terry Welte. She is a very intelligent and amazing woman.
