Jubilee announces remaining 2018 mainstage lineup

-

Organizers for the New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee have released the names of the remaining acts that will be joining their headliners in Pictou County this summer.

Friday, Aug. 3 will kick the weekend off with Pictou County’s own The Kitchen Criminals

and StoneHouse, followed by Alert The Medic and headliner Jimmy Rankin.

Previously announced Saturday night headliner Matthew Good, and supporting group Roxy & The Undergroun­d Soul Sound will be in great company with the new additions of Halifax powerhouse Reeny Smith, and P.E.I.’s own Sorrey.

“Reeny Smith is one of the most powerful female performers on the East Coast and she is the

perfect addition to the Saturday night lineup,” says Jubilee chair Michelle MacLean. Smith is a 26-year-old soul singer/songwriter who is blowing audiences away. Her extraordin­ary vocals, confident stage presence, and energetic live show make for a truly unforgetta­ble, entertaini­ng experience.

Prince Edward Island-based band Sorrey performs pop inspired tunes, with lyrics that hit you right in the heart, and which you won’t soon forget.

“Sorrey’s stage performanc­e has the ability to make you perk up and listen to every word they’re singing — they’re a great addition to our mainstage lineup.”

Sunday Night sees July Talk, Reuben and the Dark, and Natalie Lynn, with new addition The Working Class Band.

The Working Class Band from Antigonish blend elements of soul, blues, R&B and reggae with an inspiring groove, smooth vocals, soul-stirring guitar and colourful keys.

“This inclusion of blues is the best way to kick off Sunday night” says MacLean,

“Working Class Band adds a mix to our Sunday night lineup which will be a joy to fans of all genres.”
