Join us for an evening of live music on the waterfront as Music on Mirror Bay returns on Saturday, August 15, 2026, featuring Charlie McKittrick. The performance will take place from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the Mirror Bay Town Dock.
From love songs to break up songs, storytelling to protesting, songs that celebrate the inspiration of Family, Friends and Mother Nature, and even songs that deal with deep depression or the need to keep promises and push through the tough times - Charlie McKittrick is a singer-songwriter whom has proven himself capable of believably touching on a large variety of relatable topics. Often compared to the Folk/Country sounds of Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan and Neil Young and Rock sounds of The Tragically Hip, Matthew Good Band Alanis Morissette, and The Beatles, Charlie has managed to carve out his sonic landscape using these and other major influences with how he crafts his tunes.
His first release Two Hearts EP (2018) included four all-original tunes. He has released multiple singles, including some Christmas songs, and his debut album Right This Way (2024) includes 10 all-original tunes; available in digital, CD and LP formats. Some notable achievements for Charlie have been: reaching the #1 spot on Hunters Bay Radio's Top 20 Countdown with his song Fire Tower Man, releasing 4 music videos, appearing on Rogers TV Christmas Special (Beaverton, ON), performing at: Bala Cranberry Festival, Gravenhurst Rib Fest, Bracebridge 150 Celebrations, Muskoka Arts & Crafts Festival, and touring all across Atlantic Canada.
If it's a song request that you're after, Charlie has over 700+ cover tunes to pull from so give it a go! When he's not performing solo, having played the drums for 30+ years, Charlie teaches one-on-one drum lessons and tours internationally with Canada's Premier Celtic Event Tartan Terrors.
Charlie endorses ProMark Drumsticks, Evans Drumheads, D'Addario Guitar Strings and Suzuki Harmonicas.
Bring a lawn chair, relax by the water, and enjoy a wonderful summer evening of music in Kearney!
