Returning to Peterborough Musicfest will feel a little like coming home for Good Lovelies. More than a decade after their first Musicfest appearance, the award-winning trio—whose members hail from Whitby, Port Hope and Cobourg—returns to Del Crary Park on Saturday, July 4, for an evening of soaring harmonies, heartfelt songwriting and one of Canada's most engaging live shows
Known for their seamless three-part harmonies and genuine connection with audiences, Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore have spent nearly two decades crafting a sound that blends folk, roots, country and pop. Their engaging stage presence, natural chemistry and light-hearted storytelling have earned them a loyal following across Canada and around the world.
Peterborough Musicfest is Canada’s longest-running free admission music festival, bringing world-class live music to the heart of downtown Peterborough every summer.
