BTWB 2026 LINEUP

Picture
THE HYDROTONICS
The Hydrotonics are an instrumental surf rock trio from Guelph Ontario. Inspired by the reverb-soaked sound of early ’60s surf rock, the band blends vintage coastal energy with a fresh, modern edge that feels both classic and contemporary.

THE RIGHT REVEREND BLUES BAND
No stranger to Beat The Winter Blues, The Right Reverend Blues Band (RRBB) has been a mainstay throughout the 15 years of BTWB.

​
Preaching through guitar, bass, drums, keys, and saxophone, this band delivers a foot-stomping gospel of the blues. Their fiery originals and sanctified takes on classic blues and rock shake the rafters and stir the soul.

Every show is a revival: the sax cries, the guitar testifies, the rhythm section lays down holy ground, and the keys open the doors wide. This is music for the heart and the hips, where struggle and joy meet.​

THE BONEHEADS

​The Boneheads are a Toronto-based rock band blending blues-rooted grit with modern hard-rock drive. Since their 2022 recording debut, they’ve released a string of well-received singles and built a strong live reputation across Southern Ontario and beyond. The band won Best New Group at the Mississauga Music Awards and has opened for The Glorious Sons, JJ Wilde, and Kansas.

About Beat The Winter Blues (BTWB)

Beat The Winter Blues has been running since 2011 as a fundraiser for Royal City Mission and a highlight of the year for many in our community.

Since the beginning, BTWB has been about three things: great music, raising funds to serve those in need in Guelph, and lifting spirits during the bleakness of winter.

Check out our 2021 Virtual BTWB event to discover more about past Beat the Winter Blues events.
