CATL are a two piece, stripped-down and road-worn band. Rooted in blues-based garage, built on gritty guitar, pounding drums and powerful vocals, CATL has a rawness that feels intentional but not forced; loose in the right places and locked in where it matters.

Joining CATL on the Clifford stage:

Ginger St. James – a Hamilton classic country songstress that has captured hearts across Canada with her stripped back blend of rockabilly, country and blues.

Emma Langhorn – Folk and country singer-songwriter, with a strong focus on voice and simple instrumentation. The arrangements are spare and steady, supporting a clear, unembellished vocal.

Darryl Gould brings a mosaic of music to the Sunday matinee. It’s always a great vibe with Darryl and his friends.

Steelore Presents a gathering of musicians featuring George Zavarise & Sam Derosa.

The Lost Roses are a familiar fixture around here, bringing their take on the Grateful Dead songbook to the room with a loose, unhurried approach. Rooted in that classic deadhead spirit, their sets drift between tight grooves and open-ended jams, never quite the same way twice.

A three-act bill rooted in Hamilton’s grit and groove, this night brings together The Trebletones, Jesse James Medicine Show, and SnowHeel Slim for a mix of rockabilly, blues, and backroom rock ’n roll. The Trebletones lean into a high-energy blend of classic rockabilly edge, and original material , while Jesse James Medicine Show carries a rough-edged, roots-driven sound. Rounding things out, SnowHeel Slim brings that dirty grit every good blues lover craves

Gaslight Alley is back with everyone’s good pal, Danny Buzanko, plus the lovely Jenn Moore!

Bring the whole family!

Run Maggie Run are a Hamilton-based indie folk outfit built around tight songwriting and a sound that moves between stripped-down intimacy and full-band lift. Emerging out of a long-standing local music circle, they lean into harmony-driven arrangements, subtle dynamics, and a steady sense of momentum that feels more considered than showy. Their sets tend to land somewhere between reflective and propulsive. Joining the night are West Valley – guitar-forward, rhythm-driven, and built with a straightforward live sensibility. Their material leans on clean hooks and a grounded, unpretentious delivery, drawing from classic rock structure without getting weighed down by nostalgia.

New Morning reimagines the Dylan Songbook and celebrates the birthday of one of rock music’s most influential artists – Bob Dylan.

The Hogtown Allstars are a Toronto-based blues supergroup built out of some of the most decorated players in Canadian roots music. Formed as a loose collaboration in 2013 and eventually solidified into a working band, they bring together veteran members of The Downchild Blues Band alongside players from the Maple Blues Band and other long-running projects. The result is less “new band” and more a collision of lifetimes spent on stage.

Their sound sits firmly in modern electric blues—tight, groove-heavy, and rooted in classic Chicago and Southern styles, delivered with the ease that comes from decades of playing together. Their debut album Hog Wild (2022) showcased that chemistry with a mix of original material and covers, earning strong critical reception and reinforcing their reputation as a kind of working institution rather than a side project.

On stage, the Allstars operate like a rotating showcase of seasoned players rather than a traditional front-man-driven act – lean, confident, and built for live rooms where feel matters more than flash. (oldmilltoronto.com)
