Stingray Rising Stars

Nous avons pris la route le vendredi 23 août en direction de la belle ville de Granby pour assister à la grande finale du Festival international de la chanson de Granby (FICG). En explorant la ville avant la soirée si attendue, nous avons entendu de la musique partout : des vitrines dans de petites églises aux haut-parleurs sur la Principale. De la musique il y en a à Granby!

Dans le cadre de notre partenariat de longue date avec le Festival Western Saint-Tite, Stingray est fier d'être de nouveau au festival cette année, qui se déroule du 6 au 15 septembre 2019.
