Clark and Wright to play Seacliff Park on Canada Day

Canadian country music icons Terri Clark and Michelle Wright will be in Leamington on Canada Day to help celebrate Leamington’s sesquicentennial.

The pair will be on the Sunset Amphitheatre stage on Monday, July 1 for a free un-ticketed community concert, followed by Canada Day fireworks off Seacliff Beach.

Clark was born in Montreal and has enjoyed great success across Canada and the U.S. with such hits as Poor Poor Pitiful Me, Emotional Girl and You’re Easy on the Eyes. She will be the headliner and hit the stage at 8:30 pm, with Michelle Wright — who is from just up the road in Merlin — set to open up at 6:30 pm.

Wright’s success goes back to her mega-hits Take It Like a Man and Nobody’s Girl. She played the amphitheatre three summers ago as part of the Music Onthe42 Summer Concert Series.

Both are inductees into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

The concert is brought to you by the Municipality of Leamington, in partnership with the Leamington 150 Anniversary Committee and The Bank Theatre.

“As we gather to celebrate this significant milestone in Leamington’s history, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Leamington 150 Anniversary Committee for their dedication and hard work,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “It’s through their efforts that we’re able to bring our community together for such a magnificent celebration. This event is a testament to the vibrant spirit of Leamington and its people, and I invite everyone to join us in this historic celebration.” 

“We are absolutely thrilled that yet another country legend will grace the Sunset Amphitheatre stage in Leamington,” said John Moran, Chair of the Leamington 150 Anniversary Committee. “Terri Clark has been on our radar for some time, and we know country music fans will be over the moon about this concert. Add to that Michelle Wright opening, plus a surprise ending, and it’s all icing on the cake in celebration of Leamington’s 150th Anniversary.”

Additional events and the full lineup for the Leamington 150th Anniversary Celebration/Music Onthe42 Summer Concert Series will be announced soon.
