The Reklaws Wrap Winter’s A Beach Tour in Oshawa!
After a run through eight cities in 11 days, The Reklaws, along with Jade Eagleson and East Adelaide wrapped up the Winter’s A Beach Tour with a stop in Oshawa, ON on Thursday night.
The chilly winter air outside did nothing to slow down the pumped up all-ages audience in The Music Hall on King Street East. And from the time the doors opened and the country music fans starting coming into the building, to the end of The Reklaws encore and the last waves goodbye, this was a great representation of what the up-and-coming levels of Canadian country music can do when they get the chance.
After introductions from Jerry, Carolyn, and Pete from KX96, East Adelaide was the first act of the night to take the stage. And with a collection of songs that got the crowd going, they continued their work of introducing themselves as one to watch on the scene.
Young Hearts In Old Cars, Heaven, and a sweet cover of Shawn Mendes’ Lost In Japan did a fantastic job of pumping up the Oshawa audience. And when the band played Back On and their first radio single, You Don’t Get To Love Me to close out the set, everyone had bought in. Mike and Andrew are seasoned musicians and entertainers, and with the support of their bandmates Thursday night they reinforced our belief that East Adelaide is ready for more.
We know the boys are getting ready to do some more writing, which will lead to more recording, and they’re itching to play shows all summer long. So when you see their name on the bill, get a ticket.
Rising country star, Jade Eagleson was next to the stage, and this young man went all in. The smalltown boy and his guitar were centre stage and ready to go, and in eight songs, he left his mark.
We first saw Jade Eagleson on stage at Boots & Hearts where he won the Emerging Artist Showcase competition in 2017, and since then he’s only been getting stronger. As an entertainer, he looks more comfortable, as a singer he’s clearly finding his voice and his strengths, and as someone who loves to be on stage playing country music, he’s a natural.
Note: We aren’t guaranteeing anything here, but don’t be surprised if we see Eagleson’s name on the CCMA nomination list for the Rising Star Award in 2019.
The highlight of Eagleson’s set came at the end with his brand new single, Count The Ways and his first release (which has racked up nearly 9 million plays on YouTube alone), Got Your Name On It. It was fantastic to see people in the crowd singing along with his songs, and we’re sure we’ll see it again.
We also have to give a nod though to the earlier part of the set that lead us to that point. Eagleson’s cover of Jake Owen’s Down To The Honky Tonk was a hit with the Oshawa crowd, and his rendition of Shania Twain’s Any Man Of Mine was a smash and remains one of our current favourite pieces of any country music set.

Before the night’s main event we got maybe the most ridiculous and hilarious countdown video in our live show memory. And as the clock ticked down from 10 minutes to zero, the buzz in the room grew and the anticipation built for The Reklaws.
As CCMA winners, Juno nominees, hometown heroes, and now, tour headliners, it’s safe to say that Jenna and Stuart are on a roll. And as they finished up the Winter’s A Beach Tour on Thursday night, there was happiness in their voices, on their faces, and in the way the duo moved around the stage. The singing siblings played through their debut album, starting with Missing You and Raised On The Radio. They sounded great, the band was tight, the show was off to a good start, but what we saw on the floor was what made it a moment.
The all-ages crowd in Oshawa was singing along from the jump. Album cuts, not yet radio chart hits were on the lips of fans and pointed back at the stage. It was the kind of thing we’re used to seeing when headliners are on stage, and it should serve as a sign that The Reklaws are getting to that spot.
The singing picked up from there, getting even louder for #1 single, Feels Like That and again for the one that put them on the map, Hometown Kids. And then we got a special little something when the duo covered Shallow, with Jenna’s voice taking over and wowing the crowd. We’ve seen the video of the track (and included it in our recent Awesome Country Covers post), but seeing it live was a nice surprise.
The set wrapped with a high energy medley that took us places we didn’t expect to go before they went all-in on Long Live The Night. But before the band could get off the stage the chants for one more song started ringing through the room.
The Reklaws came back out to the bright lights, and they delivered a sweet moment of appreciation for everything that has gone right for them, recognition that real life can be hard no matter who you are (as they paid tribute to their late grandfather), and love for the audience in front of them and all of the support they’ve been receiving from country music fans across Canada. They rolled from there into an encore that started with a dedication of John Denver’s Country Roads to their grandpa and a show-ending performance of the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship on TSN theme song, Roots.
The Reklaws owned the attention of the fans in the room on Thursday night as they celebrated a successful tour that saw them headline in London, Toronto, Kitchener, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, Peterborough, and finally Oshawa.
We can’t wait to see what The Reklaws have up their sleeves for their next headlining tour!
