Brass over Tea Kettle brought the brass and the sass to Confederation Park this Tuesday to celebrate Canada Day in full red-and-white, maple-flavoured style. The music was loud, the sun was blazing, and Kingstonians were grinning like they just cracked open a fresh bag of ketchup chips.

The band was joined by the sensational Hayley Miller—future Canadian icon in the making! And while it was BOTK’s first-ever Canada Day performance, it was an extra special milestone for Francesco, who celebrated his very first Canada Day as an official Canadian citizen. Welcome, eh!
