Astăzi, o familie din Mioveni serbează 50 de ani de căsnicie. Petrică și Geta Buzoianu s-au căsătorit în 29 mai 1975.

Copiii și nepoții le transmit, cu această ocazie deosebită, un mesaj emoționant:

Pentru părinții noștri, Petrică și Geta

Astăzi sărbătorim nu doar timpul, ci legătura solemnă care a înfruntat anotimpuri, încercări și bucurii, păstrându-și esența intactă.

Aforismele ne spun că „secretul unei căsnicii fericite nu e să găsești persoana perfectă, ci să înveți să iubești perfect o persoană imperfectă”. Iar voi, timp de cinci decenii, ați transformat imperfecțiunile în frumusețe, tăcerea în înțelegere și zilele obișnuite în amintiri neprețuite.

Cincizeci de ani înseamnă mai mult decât aurul aniversării – înseamnă caracter, alegere zilnică, și o iubire care nu doar a rezistat timpului, ci l-a îmblânzit.

Vă iubim și vă prețuim!

We spent a few chilly evening hours on the checkerboard floors watching as Brad James, Petric, and Danielle Bourjeaurd took their turns playing for the Toronto crowd.

And while we weren’t able to stay for the end of the show with Jerry Leger & The Situation and The Redhill Valleys, we’ve been told that both acts put on a show worthy of the legendary stage they stood on.

After an afternoon at The Joint watching the ole songwriter’s circle, we were ready for more music. And at The Horseshoe on Thursday night, we got it.

The evening got started with Brad James taking the stage. The Hamilton singer-songwriter brought a full band with him to The ‘Shoe, and it was the right call.

The Boots & Hearts 2018 Emerging Artist Showcase finalist showed us once again that he belongs in front of an audience with a microphone and his guitar. James played a set of original tracks on Thursday night, moving between upbeat and slowed down vibes. And in both cases, he showed strength.

We’ve seen growth and development in Brad James already in his young career, and we can’t wait to see where he goes.

Thursday night at The Horseshoe Tavern gave us the chance to see Danielle Bourjeaurd at Indie Week for the second year in a row.

Last year we caught Danielle at The Dakota Tavern on her way to being named Best Emerging Artist at the festival. And this year, she backed up that title, showing everyone that she’s got the songs and the talent to catch the attention of country music fans. We heard her play tracks from Country Sorta Way, including Happy Hour, Lakeside, and What Difference Does She Make. As an added special moment Danielle belted out a cover of Janis Joplin’s classic Piece Of My Heart.

Danielle was joined on stage by former Cold Creek County singer Ches Anthony, who played guitar and took his own turn on the microphone. Bourjeaurd has been writing with Anthony as he prepares a solo album. On Thursday night we heard Anthony sing a new song called Old School, as well as take Gord Bamford’s part on Bourjeaurd’s duet, Bigger Glass.

The combination of the two emerging country artists was a great bonus on the night, and if it’s a look at what we can expect from both of them, country fans are in luck in the future.

The Horseshoe Tavern showcase on Thursday night also gave us our second opportunity of the night to see Winnipeg country duo (and one of our 10 Don’t Miss Bands at Indie Week 2018), Petric.

Brothers, Jason and Tom Petric made the trip from The Joint to The Horseshoe to wrap up their quick Indie Week 2018 trip, and play a selection of new songs and recordings from their career thus far.

With their double acoustic guitar set-up accompanied by a cajón on the Toronto stage, Petric played a set of eight songs, including their Top 20 single, 18 Ends. Throughout the set the boys sounded strong, taking advantage of the stripped-down nature of their show to let the songs shine.

After the set, we had a quick chance to talk to Jason who told us that he loves playing those acoustic sets just as much as the full band festival type shows. And from where we sit, their ability to do both serves as proof that this Canadian country duo has all of the tools to continue growing into a household name in the genre.

Note: On Saturday night, Petric took home awards for Single and Songwriters of the Year at the Manitoba Country Music Awards, putting a cherry on top of their fantastic 2018.

We’ve had the opportunity to keep our eyes on Petric since they debuted nearly three and a half years ago. Their progress in that time is a testament to their dedication and talent. And we have no doubt that their continued effort will lead to even more success.

Jason also told us that 2019 is shaping up to be a big year for the band. We can’t wait to see it!

With their latest single Can’t Say No on the charts and country radio across Canada, Petric have added another fan favourite to their library of songs. Add their energy and enthusiasm, and it’s no surprise that they continue to gain fans and momentum with each release.

We’ve seen Petric take the stage many times, but they’ve taken their performance up a notch. Tom worked the stage and hopped on and off the speakers. He interacted playfully with the audience and even put on a fan’s hat. It was a joy to watch them perform and to watch fans sing along.

As we neared the end of the performance, Petric was joined by Brandon Scott. Letting Scott take the lead with his single Noise, they were the perfect backing band. Before Brandon left the stage, they all sang a resounding version of Band of Brothers.

Delivering hit after hit, including Can’t Say No, It Girl, All She Wrote, Play It Safe and more, Jason and Tom finished out the set with 18 Ends.

Boots & Hearts 2018 was the last festival date of the summer for Petric. Now, they’re headed to Nashville to write the follow-up to their 2017 EP, 18 Ends. But before they do that, they’ll be playing the CCMA Countdown Concert. If you’re anywhere near Hamilton we recommend that you check out the show. You can find all the details on the CCMA website.

We’re looking forward to that next chapter and we hope it’s sooner rather than later.

We can’t wait to see the boys up on the stage again.
