With a surging emphasis on supporting local (rightfully so), GroundSwell Music has put together some of the best musicians, chefs and brewers that our great city of Halifax has to offer.
(Halifax, NS) November 19, 20 and 21 the 1st Annual GroundSwell Music Festival will feature the music of headline acts The Stanfields, The Town Heroes, and Rawlins Cross at Halifax’s legendary Olympic Hall. The festival is a celebration of what Nova Scotia is renowned for around the world: our music and our hospitality!

The Town Heroes take the stage on November 20 for the official Halifax launch of their latest album, Please, Everyone (to be released November 6).

The Mike Bochoff Band, opens the night. Doors at 7:00 PM. Show starts at 8:30 PM.

In keeping with the Festival’s theme of local music, local food and local drink, our partners at Garrison, Bulwark Cider and Devonian Coast will offer a selection of their best beer, cider and wine – including Garrison’s special brew Modem HOPerandi, created to celebrate the launch of The Stanfields’ new recording.
