Tonight's performer is Terri & Rick - Just for Kids. Terri Crawford & Rick Johnson began performing together in high school in Winnipeg in the 1970's. Their music brought them to southern Ontario where, as the Terri Crawford Band, they quickly established themselves as one of the hardest working groups in the country. They recorded four albums in the 1980's and played every major venue in the country before settling down to have a family. Performing sing-a-longs for their children's kindergarten class led them into the wonderful world of children's music.

Tonight's performer is Swing Street Big Band. Swing Street is a big band faithful to the style of those classic bands of the swing era. The band boasts a driving rhythm section, tight saxophone and brass sections able to go from a whisper to a roar in a split second, fluid soloists and great singers. Much of their repertoire is drawn from the music of those famous bandleaders. Come out and catch a performance. They guarantee you???ll be unable to sit still.
