High Valley Is Headed for Stratford – Grab Your Valentine Tickets! + Enter To Win




Get Set for Valentines Day with Tickets to High Valley in Stratford


Whether you are celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentines Day next week, we want to make your gift giving easy!  With just a few clicks you could be headed to Stratford Ontario to see High Valley w/ Hunter Brothers & Shawn Austin on April 21, 2018

While High Valley is known as a Country Music Band, we think their style of music would also suit those that like Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers and Great Big Sea.  Take a listen and see if you agree.

 







This could be why they say that …

brothers Brad and Curtis Rempel never knew how country was “supposed” to sound
 

… so we think this concert will bring fans of lots of music genres together.

Watch for people in your neighbourhood who could use help removing snow and lend them a hand. It’s also a great opportunity for students to complete volunteer hours needed and to exercise outdoors!
