Country music is coming to downtown Toronto this week when The Budweiser Country Throwdown takes over the Rock 'N' Horse Saloon on Thursday and Friday nights!
With live music from The Reklaws, Emily Reid, and Jade Eagleson on Thursday, July 19 and Andrew Hyatt, Leah Daniels, and Eric Ethridge on Friday, July 20 - this is a two-night event that promises to be a lot of fun, with a lot of great country music. Each of these rising country stars brings energy and entertainment to the stage every time they play, and we know that this week will be no different.
Single day ( Thursday / Friday) and full event tickets are available for The Budweiser Country Throwdown, starting at just $19.99!
We're looking forward to the cold drinks, hot food, and new country music on Adelaide St W. All of our past experience with these six artists and Rock 'N' Horse Saloon have us ready for a lot of fun spread over two nights downtown.
To get ready for the downtown country music fun, we caught up with Jade Eagleson and Emily Reid to learn a little bit about their favourite summer things and their favourite things about music.
