Saturday June 1st marks the start of something new in Hamilton, Ontario as the vibrant community of Westdale welcomes the first annual Hamilton Blues and Roots Festival. This free day-long outdoor music and cultural festival focused on Blues and Roots music will take over King Street West in Westdale Village, closing the neighbourhood's retail core to traffic and transforming it into a vibrant showcase for street performers, food and craft vendors, a beer garden, a family movie night event and much more to be announced in the weeks to come. This inaugural year will highlight some outstanding local musical talent, including Juno Award nominee Steve Strongman, Maple Blues Award and Juno Award nominee Harrison Kennedy, Hamilton Music Awards winner Terra Lightfoot and many more.
The first annual Hamilton Blues and Roots Festival in Westdale Village is brought to you by local recording company Sonic Unyon and the production team behind Hamilton's hugely successful Supercrawl festival. Over several years this group has been been putting together a team to bring this new event to life.
In late 2012, with combined support from the Westdale Village BIA, the Ainslie Wood / Westdale Community Association (AWWCA), Ward 1 Councillor Brian McHattie and local bluesman Steve Strongman, the event turned the corner from idea into reality.

After ten years, three albums and 328 shows, The Rest have decided to call it a day. We originally started with the intent of making music with as many friends as possible, without any direction outside of that one goal. The seven of us made this band our whole lives, and amazingly without sacrificing our commitment to each other.
A messy divorce with name calling, hair pulling, and gear custody seemed to be the logical end. Surprisingly, it's not a drama-filled decision. This is the right time for us to move on. It's that simple.
We will be playing our final show on our tenth anniversary. We've christened the show 'The Last Anniversary'.
We need to thank too many people, so if you're reading this, consider yourself thanked. You cared, and helped make us care. The Rest was everything and nothing like we expected.
—The Rest (Adam Bentley, Blake Bowman, Dwayne Brydon, Matty Buzanko, Anna Jarvis, Steve Jones, and Jordan Mitchell)
