“We have three Canadian icons that are ready and set to rock the stage!” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing, Niagara Casinos. “Their unmistakable vocals and high-octane music are the reason they are some of the most iconic Canadian talent”.
Catch Canadian artists Kim Mitchell and David Wilcox for a one-night-only event on February 8. Kim Mitchell is a Canadian rock icon who has sold more than 1.5 million records in Canada, earned 17 Juno Awards nominations, and, in 2021, was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. Mitchell is one of the most well-known and peer-respected Canadian guitar players and an acclaimed singer-songwriter who has written many classic rock anthems including “Go For Soda”,” Rock N Roll Duty”, “Patio Lanterns”, “I am a Wild Party”, “Easy To Tame” and “All We Are”. These hits have become part of the Canadian musical landscape and earned Mitchell three Juno Award wins for “Male Vocalist of the year”, “Album of the year”, and “Most promising Male Vocalist.”
David Wilcox’s debut album Out of the Woods produced three hits; “Do the Bearcat”, “Bad Apple”, and “That Hypnotizin’ Boogie”. Wilcox signed with Capitol Records in 1982, re-releasing Out of the Woods, which became Wilcox’s first album to reach gold status. Wilcox’s second album, My Eyes Keep Me in Trouble, released in 1983, featured “Downtown Came Uptown” and “Riverboat Fantasy”. It was his second straight gold record. In 2013 at the Vancouver Island Musicfest, Wilcox played alongside with James Burton, Albert Lee and Amos Garrett. They later released the live album Guitar Heroes on Stony Plain Records based on their performance.
Also, don’t miss your chance to see the Canadian rock group Sam Roberts Band on February 22. With over 125 million career streams to date, award-winning rock act, Sam Roberts Band maintains their tradition of delivering chart-topping singles, consistently surpassing expectations with their music.

His eight albums have garnered multiple awards and include life-moment defining favourites “Hard Road”, “Where Have All the Good People Gone?”, “Them Kids”, “We’re All In This Together”, and “All Of Us”.
