Good plays two 45-minute sets of hits, deep cuts and rare B-sides.
The Stampeders' 1971 hit Sweet City Woman is in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The trio split in 1977 and reunited, fittingly, at the Calgary Stampede in 1992. Bassist Ronnie King died in March 2024. The show runs about two hours.
Kaeshammer, a pianist and songwriter, plays a Sunday afternoon show in the Main Theatre.
Drury Lane Theatrical Productions opens A Christmas Story, The Musical, based on the holiday movie, on Friday at 8 p.m. Saturday's 8 p.m. show is a Holiday Spirit Night, with audiences invited to wear holiday pyjamas, ugly sweaters and festive attire. Sunday's performance is at 2 p.m.
The free Burlington Christmas Butter Tart & Artisan Market runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Burlington Centre. The same morning, Joseph Brant Museum hosts a storytime, craft and book signing for the children's book Nina and the Missing Night at 10:30 a.m., and its exhibition Money in 10 Questions | Kids Edition is open from 10 a.m.
Looking further ahead, Canadian rock band Trooper plays BPAC on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and the centre says very limited seats remain.
