2011 Concert Details

The concert featured a line-up of a mix of contemporary, rock and pop headlined by melodic Hard Rockers Bleeker Ridge and featured Atlantis Blueprint performing their song “Out of Time” written specifically for Earth Hour. Acoustic Pop artist Laurell, who took time away from the Juno awards, highlighted the event by making another special guest appearance and wooed the crowd over the Earth Hour with her incredible voice and acoustic versions of her latest hits.

The festival had a distinct Barrie flavour featuring local performers Transistor (These rockers really know how to get the crowd going and have built a huge following) and The Coalition featuring Barrie’s Mayor Jeff Lehman on drums.
