They will keeps your toes tapping with their fabulous brand of indie pop-rock. Toast marshmallows and sip hot chocolate (or microbrews for the adults) after a great day of spring skiing. The show will be capped off with a fireworks display from the top of the mountain. It promises to be a fun and truly unique experience! Good Dear Good, are recent winners of the Music Nova Scotia Award for Pop Recording of the Year! Lead singer/songwriter Tim Hatcher of nearby Neil’s Harbour, fronts one of the finest up-and-coming bands in the Maritimes. Their songs are of a vibrant, melancholy persuasion, with tight, melodic harmonies and rhythms. They are truly an act that you will not want to miss.

This will be the third season for Smokey Sessions and it is exciting to see how it continues to evolve and grow. The 2024 season will be the most ambitious to date, so watch for several more exciting announcements in the coming weeks. *Anyone under the age of 19 with a season pass or a day pass may attend the concert.
