This Saturday is the 2nd annual HOPE RockFest, and we’re so excited to have the incomparable, dynamic duo DEAR ROUGE headlining the whole shindig!
A little about Dear Rouge…
“Dear Rouge is composed of Danielle and Drew McTaggart, who are partners both in life and in music. Formed in 2012, the duo burst onto the music scene with the release of their debut album Black To Gold (2015), followed by the release of PHASES (2018) and Spirit (2022). Since starting out, they have solidified their position as one of Canada's leading musical acts, earning nine Top 10 singles, five Top 5 singles and three #1 singles. They have also accumulated an impressive 28 million career streams.
‘Our new album Lonesome High was built to be played on stage,’ said Drew McTaggart of Dear Rouge. ‘There is so much raw human energy on the record and we can’t wait to share that in a live context. It will be so fun to be able to play all these new songs mixed with the old ones.’
The duo’s recent album, Lonesome High, is an 11-track collection of songs that sweeps listeners away into a realm of rock music that embodies the band’s longtime mantra of grit and gloss. In every note, timeless struggles and triumphs are echoed through powerful vocals, captivating guitar riffs and vulnerable lyrics. The album includes their #1 Alternative Radio hit 'Goon', and fan favourites 'Garbage' and 'Cutting Teeth.'”
Come party with us and DEAR ROUGE alongside Sharlee, Erin Maiden, and The New Hires this Saturday (October 4th) at Overflow Brewing Company. All proceeds from this event support HOPE, and our mission of raising funds for local charities while having fun!
