Without stopping Thursday was just as filled with conferences Diamonds in the Rough showcases, highlighting new up and coming artists, such as 13 year old Sydney Mae from Cochrane, Alberta, who played on the Main Stage at Canada's Premier Country Music Festival the Big Valley Jamboree, and Nova Scotia's Kevin Davison, a funny young artist who is always a performer.

"The talent coming up is as good as gold and is a true testament to the Canadian Country Music Industry"





The week has more showcases than any human being can possibly get to so you have to be ready to maybe forsake one show to go to another.  Which is what we did, and headed on down to the Ranch Roadhouse and got what was considered to be one of the best shows of the week, at least even with the Royalty Records 40th anniversary party on Wednesday at Cook County Saloon.  We were not disappointed and that was what is expected when Invictus Entertainment and On Ramp Records got together for this party.  These two companies pulled out all the stops providing entertainment all night long for the people that support the industry the fans.  With Artists like Brett Kissel,

it was a regular who's who in Canadian country music.  It's only Friday and things are going strong, but the best is still yet to come.   Saturday is about to begin and it is the day fans wait for during Country Music week.
