🎶 LIVE MUSIC LINEUP

We’ve got a fun lineup of musicians ready to fill the WindsorEats Food Hall with country vibes! While we do have an indoor space that will be playing country tunes over the speakers, the live music will take place outside on our patio, so dress according to the weather.

Here is the lineup for the evening:

530PM to 630PMBB ANNE

A singer-songwriter with a passion for crafting heartfelt tunes.

Southern Ontario rooted, her love for music turned into her passion after rediscovering an old family guitar once forgotten.

Drawing influences from various genres her musical style knows no boundaries.  Her songs act as a vessel for what she calls her “emotional journal” allowing her to channel raw feelings and personal experiences.

7PM to 830PM TIPSY TWO

The Tipsy Two are Ashley O’Neill (vocals, guitar) and Nolan Smith (upright slapback bass and vocals). Both are descendents of a long line of cattle auctioneers, hog farmers, circus tightrope walkers and test pilots.

Together, they weave their family traditions into songs that sound like a brawl on a sawdust and peanut shell covered wood tavern floor between a jug band and a group of bluegrass vagrants on the outskirts of a paper mill town.

They sing rust belt parables written in the grand tradition that posits that all the things that the western wind carries away, conveying the knowledge that it’s always better to live as a little free sparrow than to be a stuffed and mounted eagle.

The material is a seamless mixture of original songs, old American mountain folk and original Outlaw punkabilly. These songs are the whispering echos of ghosts howling from hidden, vanished places, that never mistake kindness for weakness, songs that bring you back to a time and place in your life when you liked yourself better drunk, down and out, hungry, beaten and proud, and where your only friends were honest labourers, hardened crooks, valiant vagabonds and miserable miscreants, who all lived like wolves on the wind, filled up with that squirrelly rum and running, out into the night, all hearty and hellish.

9pm to 1030pm– WHOA NELLIE!

Take a full shot of fresh originals and trad country, add a hefty dash of country-swing, rockabilly, blues, rock and footstompin’ reels, pour it over an accordion and stir with a wicked guitar. Set it on fire and serve hot!
