Kingston Sings: Your Chance to Take the Stage
Can You Sing Canada is bringing Kingston Sings to Kingston Grand Theatre on April 9. Now in its seventh year, this travelling production celebrates local talent, courage, and community by giving everyday singers the chance to perform live with a professional Canadian rock band.
Through local auditions, the production discovers outstanding voices and brings selected performers together for a high-energy concert. The show features singers of all ages and musical styles, from rock, country, and pop to piano ballads and crooner classics. Audience sing-alongs, hand-clapping, and hometown pride are all part of the experience.
This is a showcase, not a competition. It’s an opportunity for local singers and undiscovered talent to step into the spotlight, backed by seasoned musicians who have performed with artists including Burton Cummings, Big Wreck, Moist, David Usher, and Helix.
