We are excited to unveil the highly anticipated lineup for this year’s Musical Mondays! Once again, we will be hosting all concerts on our picturesque outdoor stage.
After carefully considering the valuable feedback we received from our community survey, we have made some exciting changes for this year’s series. First and foremost, we are delighted to announce that all concerts will be free for children and all students. While most events require tickets, our kids show will be completely free (thanks to the generous support of Les Serres Bourgeons). Additionally, the Hampsey’s House Party concert will operate on a voluntary contribution basis on the night of the event, ensuring everyone can attend. In making these changes our objective is to foster inclusivity and accessibility for all individuals.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Municipality of La Pêche, MRC des Collines de l’Outaouais, the Moulin Wakefield Mill, and all other sponsors who have played a vital role in making this series possible. We are immensely grateful for their support.
We look forward to welcoming you this summer for an unforgettable musical experience!

JULY 10th – LYLE ODJICK & THE NORTHERN STEAM
Originating from the Algonquin reservation of Kitigan Zibi, QC, now based in Ottawa, ON, Lyle Odjick went from living in a small town with very little exposure to blues or live music to teaching himself harmonica, starting his own blues band and eventually earning a nomination in the Canada wide Maple Blues Awards for New Artist of the Year in 2022.
What began as a Chicago blues cover band with a fat swinging rhythm section and a harmonica wielding front man has evolved into a high energy blues-rock band with their own foot stomping sound. The release of debut album “Through The Rain” in 2022 was met with North American wide radio play landing in The Roots Music Report’s Top 50 Canadian Albums at #6 in its third week on the charts. In the blink of an eye Odjick went from strumming in a small town to opening for heavy hitting acts such as Colin James, Randy Bachman, Monkeyjunk and Paul Reddick.

AUGUST 28TH – ESMERINE
Although Esmerine’s roots can be traced back to post rock, they’re essentially rewriting the classical rule book as they go along. Whilst they can be minimal in their approach, their influences are far reaching. There’s elements of baroque, neo-classical, rock, drone, Eastern European and Anatolian folk and plenty more besides jostling for room, sometimes within the space of a single composition. Yet, somehow they utilize all these influences and still manage to make remarkably sparse and moving music. Come see these multi Juno-winning Wakefielders in action on their own Turf!
