The Sheepdogs and James Barker Band headline Blue Jays Summer Sound Festival presented by Bacardi

The TORONTO BLUE JAYS today announce that Canadian bands The Sheepdogs and James Barker Band will headline an extended two-day Summer Sound Festival presented by Bacardi, on Friday, Aug. 9 and Saturday, Aug. 10, while the Blue Jays take on the New York Yankees. The festivities start outside Gates 10 & 11 at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, running up until first pitch, weather permitting.

Performing on Friday, The Sheepdogs are a four-time JUNO Award-winning, Saskatoon-based quintet that has expanded their sound to encompass more styles including rock ‘n roll and singer-songwriter. The multi-platinum-selling group returns to Canada after a spring 2019 UK & European tour.

Headlining Saturday’s show, the JUNO and CCMA Award-winning James Barker Band have taken the country music scene by storm. With six consecutive gold certified singles, they are the most streamed domestic-signed country artist since 2017. This past spring, JBB released their second album “Singles Only,” which includes their current hit single “There’s a Drink for That”.

Blue Jays fans can look forward to two-days of Canadian music, as well as a host of activations, games, prizes, and entertainment to keep the party going, including a Bacardi cabana hangout and DJ DLUX spinning. Tickets are available now at bluejays.com/promotions.
