“There’s something special about getting out across the country and playing these songs for fans in every corner of Canada,” said Brody. “This tour is all about celebrating where we come from and the people who’ve been there along the way. Getting to do that alongside my friends, The Reklaws, is going to make it even more memorable.”

“We’re so fired up,” said Jenna and Stuart Walker of The Reklaws. “We’ve shared so many moments with Dean over the years and getting to bring that to fans across the country on this kind of scale is unreal.”

Their latest single, ‘Hometown Heroes,’ was penned after seeing our nation united behind their home baseball team last fall. According to a press release, the tour will bring country music across Canada to celebrate the people who make each city feel like home.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

Country Music Star Dean Brody Stopped By The Peterborough Humane Society... And (LOL) This Happened

Canadian Country music star Dean Brody was in Peterborough on Saturday performing at the Memorial Centre as part of his Beautiful Freakshow tour.

But Brody, a huge animal lover, also took some time out from his busy tour schedule to stop by the Peterborough Humane Society and visit with the dogs, cats, volunteers and staff.

Also, a cute and hilarious thing happened there that Brody posted about on his Facebook page, along with the below photo.

"We posed for a group shot and the kitten decided to have a poop—it was hysterical," the Humane Society's Susan Porter Dunkley tells PTBOCanada. "But Dean was a gentleman and he just smiled, caught it and then washed up. He is a class act for sure."

Congrats Dean, this will go down as one of the best poop catches ever caught on photograph!
