Hot Summer Concerts Sizzles at Casino Rama
Today Casino Rama announced their full summer line-up and there sure are a few acts that would be considered must see shows. Leading the pack is a surprising Deep Purple show, as we had no idea that the band was hitting North America this year. We also like the Carlos Santana, Moody Blues and John Cougar Mellencamp shows. Casino Rama is a bit north of Toronto and worth the drive if you are a fan of any of the bands we highlight. The full listing is below:
