Feast Fest has announced the festival's Saturday night rock headliners will be Honeymoon Suite.
Multi-platinum Canadian recording artists Honeymoon Suite, with over a million cd’s sold worldwide over their 25-year career will be performing at Feast Fest in Sudbury June 24.
According to the group's website, "Johnnie Dee and Derry Grehan, the principal and founding members of Honeymoon Suite, met when introduced by manager Stephen Prendergast in 1982. Deciding to work together, they formed Honeymoon Suite with Grehan’s former Steve Blimkie And The Reason’ band-mate Dave Betts on drums, plus an anonymous keyboard player and bassist.
"In 1983 they decided to enter the Homegrown Contest put on yearly by Toronto’s Q107-FM radio station so Prendergast approached his friend and producer Tom Treumuth to produce a song for them. Based on the buying public’s response, “New Girl Now” won the contest and Bob Roper at WEA Canada was so impressed with the song and response that he signed the band right away."
The first annual Feast Fest will offer patrons free entry all weekend long, where you can experience an array of arts, crafts, live music and food vendors designed to appeal to all tastes.
