PORT HOPE — A lineup of four performers will hit the bandshell at Port Hope’s Memorial Park for the latest ONTour series concert.

Next Generation Leahy, from Douro-Dummer Township, performed in Alderville First Nation in June to kick off the provincewi­de series.

The Peterborou­gh Musicfest also hosted an ONTour concert Aug. 3 at Del Crary Park in Peterborou­gh, headlined by Our Lady Peace.

Four performers will entertain from 6 to 10 p.m. in Port Hope on Saturday.

Whitehorse won the 2016 Juno Award for Adult Alternativ­e Album of the Year (and got a 2017 Juno nomination for blues album of the year). Ottawa singersong­writer Kathleen Edwards is described as a musical raconteur, lyrical poet and gifted entertaine­r. The music of Alx Veliz might be summed up as electrifyi­ng synthdrive­n pop with a Latin rhythm. And Melanie Brulee gives an energetic and charismati­c rock performanc­e.

The show is in conjunctio­n with the Port Hope Arts Festival in Memorial Park on Saturday.

ONtour concerts, which mark the province’s 150th anniversar­y by showcasing some of Ontario’s outstandin­g musical talent, are being hosted by 20 Ontario communitie­s.

Each ONtour concert is free, goes on rain or shine, and is open to music lovers of all ages.
