Music News Digest: Canadian Blues Music Awards and Lakeshore Music & Arts Festival Get Ready to Launch

Also this week: Begonia announces an extensive Canadian tour, new opportunities from Ontario Music Investment Fund for Music Company Development and more.

Soulful singer-songwriter and rising star Begonia (Alexa Dirks) has just announced a major 20-date cross-country Canadian tour in the fall. Dubbed the Fantasy Life tour in reference to her current Juno-nominated album of that name, the trek begins on Sept. 29 at the Seahorse Tavern in Halifax, concluding with a hometown concert at Winnipeg's Burton Cummings Theatre on Nov. 13. Tickets for the upcoming tour are on sale now here.

Begonia's first two critically acclaimed full-length albums, Fear (2019) and Powder Blue (2023) earned her two Juno Award nominations and two Polaris Music Prize longlist nominations, while new release Fantasy Life is nominated in the adult alternative album of the year category this year. She will tour the U.K. with Birthday Cake Records labelmates, The Brothers Landreth, April 9-25.
