Over the last month, I’ve performed more in my hometown of Oakville more than downtown Toronto or those other 905 suburbs. It’s weird how these things happen, but I had 5 gigs all in row, all within a mile radius of each other in Oakville.
This included the Oakpark Fall Fair (which is in my neighbourhood), the Denny’s Car Wash 100 Guys Who Care Charity Show, a Craft Beer Week Show at Longo’s Corks Restaurant on behalf of Cameron’s Brewery, as well as a show at Kelsey’s Restaurant, and Glen Abbey Golf Courses Eighteen Lounge.
With every show, there’d be photographers, and you never know exactly ‘who’ these photographers are (i.e TMZ?), but I determined that some of these photographers are probably from “snapd” – the community newspaper that is circulated in Oakville (and other GTA areas). They cover everything going on in the community and the newsletter/paper is a staple across the GTA for every region.
And I guess I was right, as I opened their latest edition, and saw a pic of myself at the Oakpark Fall Fair, and another pic aswell as Online (oakville.snapd.com) for the 100 Guys Who Care Charity show. Again, you never know who is watching you, but in this case, it was a welcome surprise. Thanks “snapd Oakville” for the free PR !
