Hello Friends,

It has been a challenging time for small business during the pandemic! After some lengthy discussion, and the realization that an establishment like ours can't run safely for many more months to come, we have decided to give up our space in Orillia, minimize our expenses and start to plan how we can return when we can spend time together again.

It has been an amazing 10+ year journey! We are so proud of what The Brownstone has brought to Orillia and so grateful to those that made that possible. We will look forward to a time down the road when we can rebuild our community together!

Stay Safe. Stay Awesome. Be Kind and Support the Arts!

Cheers!

*ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT*

The Roots North Music Festival is excited to announce Long Range Hustle​ to the 2020 late night venue lineup at The Brownstone Cafe, Downtown Orillia for the 6th annual Roots North Music Festival April 23 to 25. It only takes a minute to feel how their contagious energy connects with everyone in the room. From a sweat soaked club to a breezy festival stage, Long Range Hustle brings the warm infectious melodies, driving rhythms, and gorgeous harmonies, in spades.

A mix of high school and summer camp counsellor tenures brought the core of this southern Ontario five-piece together - Paul Brogee (vocals, guitar, violin), Jay Foster (vocals, piano), Mike Brogee (bass, vocals), and AJ Fisico (drums, vocals) with Ryan Pritchard (guitar) solidifying the line up in early 2017. Each of the five members come from diverse musical backgrounds, ranging from jazz to rock to classical, but all share a common love for songwriting and performing.

The August release of their new single, Morning Clover, brings the dawn of a new era for LRH. This offering is the first cut from their 2019 album. A recording session at The Bathouse Studio near Kingston, Ontario with acclaimed Scottish producer and mixer, Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Wintersleep, Snow Patrol) brings about a refined and evolved sound for the band, reflective of their persistent drive to push themselves.
The band started to gain momentum with the release of “From Seedlings to Saplings…” in 2016. Confront Magazine noted, the sound “strays from the guitar-drums-bass formula to incorporate violin and piano in every hook-laden song.” Over the last few years, touring has taken them from the Maritimes to Manitoba, they’ve shared stages with Arkells, Matt Mays, Big Wreck, and delighted hometown crowds with month-long residencies at Toronto’s Dakota Tavern.

The show is FREE for Weekend Pass holders (pending venue capacity) or $10 at the door for non-ticket holders. Weekend passes are available now at Alleycats Music & Art, Downtown Orillia​ or buy online at www.RootsNorthMusic.ca
