Local Vibe

Well we have had a great start here at Local Vibe and over the course of the last year we have seen quite a few changes and met many friends along the way. What the future holds for us is unknown at this point, but you can be sure that it is only going to [...]

Today is the day that everything kicks off for this years Kitchener Blues Festival. With multiple stages and a plethora of talent performing over several days, you are going to need to plan carefully to make sure you don’t miss out on all the wonderful entertainment. To make it easier for you to complete this planning, we have refined the schedule of entertainers and re-posted it here for your easy access.

Tonight you will find a FREE event taking place at the Downtown Business Tent at the corner of King and Frederick Streets.

Last month we held an intern contest to find two new people to join our team, and we certainly lucked out with the two people that were chosen. Carolyn Marsh and Joevanna Magnusson have joined us to expand our offerings and build their experience in the music industry, and lets not forget having a major [...]

As promised, here are more pictures from 91.5 The Beat’s Beat Rocks The Block 2009. Our first photo gallery from this event has received thousands of hits and we are very pleased to add to your viewing pleasure with this collection of over 100 fantastic pictures.
We have also added a separate gallery for crowd pictures [...]

Well we have gathered some pictures from Beat Rocks The Block and thought it would be easier to put some crowd pictures in one spot so that you can search through them and see if you can find yourself or your friends. Take a look and you may just find some people that you didn’t even know were there, as the crowd was big enough that you certainly could have gone all day and never hooked up with some of your friends.

I had the huge honour of interviewing members of Finger Eleven for the Local Vibe e-zine (http://localvibe.ca).  We met backstage and while their lead vocalist, Scott Anderson, warmed up, I chatted with Rick Jackett and Rich Beddoe (their guitarist and drummer).  Their passion was infectious.  They had such exuberant candor when it came to talking about their [...]

It was no surprise to see hundreds of people lined up down the street and around the corner to get into this year’s “Beat Rocks the Block” in downtown Kitchener this past Saturday.

This year at Beat Rocks The Block, 91.5 The Beat has pulled together a fantastic mainstage presence which you can read about HERE, and through the sponsorship of Crosby VW Audi they have managed a slam-dunk performance lineup for their second stage that has been properly coined as “The Beat’s Next Big Thing Stage”.

With the countdown running down and only 8 more sleeps until 91.5 The Beat’s huge FREE concert event “Beat Rocks The Block” planned to take over downtown Kitchener, we at Local Vibe thought it would be a good opportunity to offer you some information on the talent that is going to be performing that day.
