THE SADIES with Daniel Romano's Outfit and special guest Christina Hutt

Set in a beautiful, accessible conservation area with campgrounds on Guelph Lake, our summer festival is world-renowned as one of Canada’s most progressive, environmentally conscious, completely non-commercial community celebrations. We create a village on Guelph Lake Island that we fill with music, dance, drumming, food, crafts, and more.

Hillside Inside 2023 Saturday night with The Sadies, Daniel Romano's Outfit and the evening opens with Christina  Hutt.  Licensed/All Ages

Royal City Mission

A spectacular evening with GA seating/standing featurign 3 sets starting at 8 PM with Christina Hutt.Christina can fill a room with her rich, deep, resonate, out-of-this era voice and move you with her honest, charasmatic delivery. Once described as a full-bodied glass of red wine, it is reminiscent of the succulent vocals you would have heard flowing from a transistor radio in the late 50’s. You will understand why Hutt has been dubbed “the voice” in her home town, Muskoka, Ontario. She welcomes you into the secrets of her heart with fierce passion and endearing spirit. Christina’s diversity in genres is a pleasant surprise. The lyrics in her song “Cracks &amp; Crevices” takes you deep into the chilling darkness of mental distress while her tune “Fifteen Shades” makes you feel like you just might just be at a Patsy Cline Tribute Show. Daniel Romano's Outfit will be up next after a brief intermisison and will also join The Sadies for part of their set.An insightful, subtly witty, and prolific Canadian singer/songwriter whose music reflects a mix of Nashville's countrypolitan era, 1960s psych-rock, and a host of other diverse influences, Daniel Romano earned widespread acclaim with the release of his 2011 album Sleep Beneath the Willow, which made the long list for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize. A literate storyteller, Romano's lyrics are as strong and compelling as his music, with a style that makes room for the straightforward and the surreal. Talented and prolific, Romano's catalog includes detours into smart pop (2016's Mosey), prog rock (2020's How Ill Thy World Is Ordered), and elaborate concept pieces (2022's La Luna), with his road band the Outfit often providing the accompaniment. The SadiesColder Streams' is, by far, the best record that has ever been made by anyone. Ever. As we all know, the 'press release' is a tool meant to announce and promote a new recording project. A jaded and unreliable sales-pitch at best, the usual 'bio' invariably attempts to describe the project in question as some sort of second coming. But how do you sell sounds? The critics' voice must be heard at all costs, but this is something else entirely. Obviously, this is an ad.Knowing what you're getting is all anyone really wants to know. The details of how the recording is made might be interesting, but they aren't exactly crucial to the listening process. In our case, comparisons can be misleading too, because The Sadies don't really fit tidily into any genre, or even sub-genre. We aren't really 'pre or post' anything and we don't have the right hair-cuts or hats for any particular scene. Can't really call us modern or retro either. We certainly don't claim to have re-invented the wheel. We just are. And have been for a very long time. So, all that matters is the music itself, right?After making so many records, some things get easier. Most things do not. But just because it's harder doesn't mean it isn't better. I think it's gotten easier to know when we are on to something and that's in no small part due to working with Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire/Belle Orchestre) as producer. We put in a lot of hard work but he always made it easy and fun. This is, of course, totally irrelevant to your listening experience.We began this recording well over a year before the plague began and completed it in June 2021. The studio we worked at in Quebec is perfectly calibrated to our claustrophobia. It was mostly engineered by Pietro Amato (Belle Orchestre/etc.), who is great at everything he does when he's not doing something else. Jon Spencer (Jon Spencer!!!) was kind enough to intervene and rescue a song for us. My folks play on it. There was a church™ involved. Curfews were broken. Borders were crossed stealthily. Sean did all of the artwork. Travis and Mike did a lot of driving. I did the bio.'Colder Streams' is a record made with love by loved ones. The Sadies have released a lot of records. This is one of them.Do any bands make their best work this far along in their career? I can think of artists who still make great music after all these years, but their best? Yet, here we are and that's what I'm accusing us of. I think it's our best but I've been wrong before. All I ask is that you listen to a few songs and decide for yourself what it sounds like. If you like it, you'll know what to do. But my description of the music would just be punishing for the both of us.I guess all that really needs to be said here is that if you like the Sadies, you will definitely want to get 'Colder Streams'. If you disliked or felt indifferent towards The Sadies, you will definitely want to get 'Colder Streams'. If you've never heard The Sadies and yet you're still reading, you too will definitely want to get 'Colder Streams’.But unfortunately, it's sold out.
