Last Chance Saloon

March 24, 2012

Our ever popular Last Chance Saloon is held the last Saturday in March each year. This casual pub style evening features 12 acts each playing a 15 minute set. The celebrity judges choose one act, based on criteria, who will be hired to play on main stage at Summerfolk. This event is open to the public at a modest admission charge. Members of the audience can score the acts and choose their favourite too.

History of Last Chance: Several years ago, because of the number of applications submitted for consideration to perform at the Summerfolk Music & Crafts Festival, it was decided to organize an open audition/showcase to fill the last spot for the main-stage at the Festival. We call this event appropriately, the Last Chance Saloon

The Last Chance Saloon takes place Saturday, March 24th 2012 at the Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound. Twelve acts vie for the coveted 'last spot' in the Summerfolk lineup.
