Here is what to expect at the Troubadour Festival summer Concert Series underway Saturday.

The sun is out and Dunlop Street is closed for ‘Eats on the Streets’ as Hawksley Workman is ready to rock out for the third edition of this summers Troubadour Festival.

Dunlop Street will be closed throughout the night while the food festival ‘Eats on the Streets’ returns.

The emerging artist showcase will once again shake Meridian Place starting at 6 p.m.

Tia Nova, Smokey and the Bones, Ritch Mitchell are all ready to perform, setting the stage for Hawksley Workman and his band.

Workman is a multiple Juno Award winner and has released more than 15 albums.

In an interview with CTV News earlier in the week, Workman said fans can expect some classic songs with his style of writing.

“They’re a little bit kooky, but still pretty straight forward. I mean, I have a wide vocal range and I like to sing really high, I like to sing really low,” said Workman. “The lyrics are a bit absurd, a bit kooky. Some are a bit serious.”

Hawksley Workman is expected to take the stage around 8 p.m.

CTV Barrie, Pure Country 106, BOUNCE 104.1, and the Downtown Barrie BIA are excited to present the Troubadour Festival Summer Concert Series– a four-part celebration of live music with star-studded performances at Meridian Place.
