Sloan will headline Barrie’s 19th annual Downtown Countdown on New Year’s Eve.
The popular event will once again feature an amazing line-up of Canadian talent that is not to be missed.
“Sloan has been nominated for nine Juno Awards over their 25- year career, and the success of their many hit singles, such as 'The Good in Everyone' and 'Money City Maniacs', has made them one of the most popular Canadian bands,” said Arin Donnelly, community event co-ordinator.
Sloan has released 20 albums and EPs since 1992 and celebrated its 'One Chord to Another' album with a 20th anniversary tour.
Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sloan is a Toronto-based rock/power pop quartet.
The Downtown Countdown will also feature entertainment for the younger crowd with Treehouse TV’s Splash ‘N Boots, who have performed thousands of shows all over the world, released nine award-winning CDs, have been nominated for JUNO Awards, and were crowned Canadian Children’s Music Group of the Year three times. They will bring their exciting and fresh approach to entertainment for families to enjoy right here in Barrie.
Every year, the City of Barrie invites local acts to submit for the opportunity to perform on the Downtown Countdown stage. From over 35 submissions this year, Cardinal Street was selected to perform their original music and classic covers in front of a hometown crowd.
In addition to a fantastic entertainment line-up, this free celebration outside Barrie City Hall in the downtown will include skating on the Circle at the Centre rink, horse-drawn wagon rides, roaming performers, fun family activities, and fireworks all beginning at 6 p.m.
