So you have plenty of food to choose from!

Kat Chabot is a very popular local singer-songwriter from Barrie Ontario. Pre-pandemic days you could catch her performing all over Ontario’s Farmers Markets, local festivals, bars and restaurants, either performing solo or with Cardinal Street, a five-piece rock band. Spending her youth working in greenhouses, and growing up in a family band covering RUSH and Journey songs.

At Simmering Kettle, you will find comfort food at its finest. They have all-day breakfast options as well as other hearty meal options. Dosti eats is a mix of food from all over the world! They serve food from Mexico, pan Asian food, north American food, and some tasty dessert options and you can even have a cocktail.

In our latest episode we chatted with the crew from Cousin Jack!

We talked about the semi-roller coaster that was 2019, including releasing their first EP and undergoing some big lineup changes, about the unique historical meaning behind their name (it involves mines and rugby) and about why they’re probably blacklisted from playing a particular festival in Collingwood.

This episode is exactly 29:12 and if you are easily offended, there are plenty of swears.

The Best of Barrie 2019 Playlist

December 30, 2019December 30, 2019 by Stu Lynam

2019’S BEST RELEASES FROM BARRIE’S MUSIC SCENE

As we close out 2019, it’s time to look back on the killer lineup of new music we received this past year from Barrie’s talented music scene.

We got a TON of kick ass tuneage from the stalwarts, plus invigorating fresh cuts from new and emerging acts. Thanks to venues like the Foxx Lounge, Mavricks, Donaleigh’s, the Common Good Cafe and PLAY!, as well as smaller joints like Flying Monkey’s, McReilly’s and Homestead Artisan Bakery, Barrie’s musicians have more places to gig, and it’s quickly growing the local scene.

We’ll continue to encourage that growth in 2020 by covering and promoting the 705 music scene through playlist curation like this, as well as through podcasts, weekly concert blogs, and local music news. If you’re part of the Barrie music scene, and you are performing or producing original music, we want to know! Send us stuff about new releases, performance dates and video releases and we’ll be sure to talk it up. Either through FB or email to [email protected]

And please have a look and tell us about any 2019 drops that we missed!

*We looked at doing this through Bandcamp, because so many more artists have their stuff up there. But unfortunately they don’t offer playlist options, so Spotify is the best shareable option.

Now…let’s do this….
