Local Vibe

There is a secret gem of a Venue in Cambridge, Ontario that I am about to divulge to YOU, are you ready? …The Warehouse. Yes, that’s right… it’s one of three buildings with the view of Dickson Arena, just over the first bridge downtown Galt, turn right at the first lights onto Blair Road. Exact [...]

The Cambridge Fall Fair is set up in Dickson Park, decorated, and ready to open their gates today at 4 PM. Local Vibe is going to be there to start off the entertainment in fine fashion with 6 local bands taking the stage for your listening pleasure. All of these bands have jumped at the [...]

The Cambridge Fall Fair is coming back to town for the 170^th time, which makes it one of the oldest running fairs running in Ontario. This year, Local Vibe is taking part in kicking off the event by planning a full night of local talent that is designed to showcase some local performers that are proud to perform for their hometown fans, and we are especially pleased to have the opportunity to share their performances with the attendees of the opening night of the fair in Cambridge’s Dickson Park.

We have worked together with the Cambridge Fall Fair Committee to produce a night of entertainment for you, with a local twist.

Ok, so Rockin The Valley 2 went down last night for a select group of hardcore rock and rollers who couldn’t be held back by the impending rain that pelted us for most of the night. This group of wet people bouncing around in the rain and mud who were affectionately labeled as “Dirtbags” by Chris Raposo, West Memphis Suicide’s frontman, got louder and prouder as the rain got harder and more frequent. For those of you that aren’t aware or can’t understand how this could be considered an affectionate greeting, the term “Dirtbag” is a positive one in the WMS circle of friends. It represents someone with integrity, honesty, loyalty, respect and several other admirable qualities. Anyways, the dirtbags were in full force for the WMS show and all of the other fantastic entertainment organized by Mike Watson, Jason Jansekovich and too many others to list here. This event couldn’t have happened without the many people that pitched in to help, and to those people we would like to say “THANKS DIRTBAGS!”. For those of you that weren’t there, or can’t exactly remember some of what happened, we have included a photo gallery with all of the bands, and just a few of the people that were out playing in the rain.

Early in the day, the tents were set up and the stage was affixed with huge tarps to keep the bands and their equipment dry.

Last Friday Molly Blooms patrons were treated to an onslaught of metal which left us all in mid air. The evening began with Jakk Damage who is one serious ass kicker of a band. From their opening chords to the sweaty finish everyone was mesmerized by each member of the band as they all gave [...]

Well yet another weekend is upon us and there is really no shortage of things to do in Cambridge. From fantastic bands to everything to do with the Arts, and how could we not mention Riverfest with the Dragonboat Races.
A perfect way to start the weekend off in style would be to swing by Preston [...]

This September 10th you won’t want to miss out on opening night at the Cambridge Fall Fair, or our showcase of local talent on the Fairs main stage. What started out as a proposal for a second stage, turned out better then any of us could have imagined when the Fairs committee agreed to share [...]

Last Tuesday evening I received an invitation to speak with one of my favourite local bands, West Memphis Suicide. We’re trying to create a venue worthy of all our local talent.
As I approached 779 King St.E. I could here a soulful, electric assault in the area, and it appeared to be emanating from Lucky Souls [...]
