Entertainment groups in Fort Frances and Dryden have secured another Canadian performer for their concertgoers.

Jeff Martin, the vocalist of the rock band The Tea Party, is embarking on a solo tour in the new year and includes stops in the northwestern Ontario communities in early March.

His appearance fills a hole left by Sass Jordan, who stopped touring in September and died a few weeks later.

The Dryden Entertainment Series has informed its subscribers that those who had tickets for Jordan will receive the same assigned seats for Martin’s performance.

Tour De Fort in Fort Frances states the show will be included for passport holders, with a limited number of individual tickets to go on sale, online only, on November 6th.

Martin’s tour will celebrate the 21st anniversary of his debut solo album, ‘Exile and The Kingdom.’

Some sad news for fans of the Goo Goo Dolls.

The band announced Sunday morning they would be cancelling the remaining dates on their Canadian tour.

That includes shows in Halifax and Moncton, scheduled for April 10 and 11, respectively.

“John was diagnosed with pneumonia and has not fully recovered,” the band said in the post.

“We are very disappointed and can’t wait to get back to Canada as soon as possible.”

The post said all tickets would be refunded at point of purchase.

Halifax’s Scotiabank Centre has posted to their website about the cancellation.

The site says all tickets will be automatically refunded by Ticketmaster tot he original method of payment in 14 to 21 days.

The Avenir Centre in Moncton posted about the cancellation on social media, but had not said anything about refunds on Sunday morning.
