"’Easier and Harder' is about giving love a chance to mature. The lessons we learn when we get past the honeymoon stage. The benefits of not giving up and getting to love someone entirely; not only for their strengths but their shortcomings as well. There’s a comedy to it that I feel gives a peek into what long-term love is like. Live and learn. Give and take.” - William Prince
Fest News: Hibernate tucks into Port Hope Capital Theatre
By Will McGuirk
One of my fab fest finds last year was Cultivate at the Haute Goat north of Port Hope. Even with the rain the outdoor fest featuring Kathleen Edwards plus others was just a joy. Simple as that. Those good folks have now gathered for another what I believe will be a joyous affair, Hibernate.
Three shows, three days in February, 10, 11, 12, at the Capitol Theatre downtown, plus pop-up hot spots TBA.
Announced shows include the intriguing William Prince, supported by our pal Cale Crowe, and Caroline Marie Brooks, on Feb 11; the magnificent Soul Motivators, with Lydia Persaud, and Kyler Tapscott on the Friday, and closing it out with a Sunday matinee, Larnell Lewis, Joy Lapps, and Okan + Medusa.

“I grew up Baptist and I was scared to death to go to hell. And a lot of that stuck with me. Filtering through that and trying to find the truth, and the beauty, and the things you should think about and expelling all that nonsense has been something I’ve spent a lot of time on.” - Tyler Childers
“These days it seems like we're waking up to a new heart break every morning, which at times is so overwhelming it becomes paralyzing” - Ken Yates
“Being willing to put your heart on the line even though it might result in pain and hurt. Understanding that vulnerability in relationships is necessary for a chance at love." - Chemical Club
