Live Music in Hamilton, Ontario

"Hamilton is an endless inspiration to me,"

says three-time Juno Award winner Tom Wilson, describing the city as "full of beautiful souls and bad attitude." Wilson frequently writes about his hometown, both in his solo recordings and with Canadian roots music supergroup Blackie & The Rodeo Kings.

Live music is a staple of the Hamilton performing arts scene, from the grassroots club level to the soft-seat venues where devotees of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra and Boris Brott's celebrated National Academy Orchestra savour orchestral delights.
