Canadian Country Star Tebey Announces “The Good Ones Cross Canada Tour”
Canadian producer, hit singer-songwriter and 2019 CCMA Album of The Year nominee, Tebey announced The Good Ones tour, kicking off in Kamloops on January 15th, 2020 and wrapping on February 8, 2020 in Montreal, QC. The pre-sale commences October 1st with an on-sale date of October 4th.
The 20-date tour will be Tebey’s first Canadian headlining tour, showcasing his hit songs including “Denim On Denim,” and “Who’s Gonna Love You”, his biggest hits to date achieving Gold status and 7 million streams and 5 million streams respectively. Tebey’s current single “Good Jeans” recently nabbed the #2 spot on the country radio charts and Tebey has garnered 7 No. 1 songs as a writer (including a Billboard #1 song with “Somebody Else Will” performed by country star Justin Moore) in multiple countries along with a No. 1, three top 5’s, two top 10’s and four top 20 hits as an artist.
“My first-ever headline tour has definitely been a long time coming,” Tebey says. Everyone’s path to success is different, and mine has been a long and winding road filled with #1 single highs and surprising lows. Since 2014 my team and I have gradually built a catalog of hit songs and have watched the fan base grow with it. But only now are we finally getting to see my name at the top of the marquee.”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. As a headliner the onus is on you to sell the tickets. And we’re going into some big venues on this tour like The Commodore in Vancouver, which is 1,000+. It’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also time to take this exciting step.”
Joining Tebey for the second part of the tour is rising star Matt Lang who recently won the coveted 2019 SIRIUSXM Top of the Country contest. The Quebéc native’s debut national single “Water Down The Whiskey” was the most added song at all Canadian radio formats during its first week of release, a promising start for the songwriter and powerful performer as he brings his music into the English market. His debut single, “Love Me Some You”, has over 1.6 million Spotify streams and 2.7 million all-time streams, kickstarting his Canadian country music career in English Canada.
Joining the tour in Kamloops and Vancouver is choir girl turned country troubadour, Kristin Carter. Born and raised in White Rock, BC, Carter grew up with the modern country vibes of Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks, and Faith Hill in addition to taking cues from the soulful vocals of Beyoncé. With a country sound infused by pop sensibilities and punctuated by powerhouse vocals and lyrics that inspire confidence, Carter’s country music journey has only just begun. Recently signed to Country superstar, Dallas Smith’s SteelHead Music, Kristin Carter will release her debut single, “Karma” in October.
Tebey’s hot new single “The Good Ones”, was released last week via Jayward Artist Group/The Orchard and features Quebec pop superstar Marie Mai. The song hit top ten on the all genre Apple Music single chart in the first days of release and was added to Spotify’s Wild Country and New Boots playlists among others.

Steve Hackett Announces Genesis Revisited 2020 Tour: SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
Acclaimed by many to be GENESIS’s finest album, SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND will be performed by Hackett and company in its entirety. Supported by some of the best musicians on the planet, Steve’s unique guitar work remains the fulcrum on which this challenging and exhilarating show is balanced.
STEVE HACKETT is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with GENESIS as part of their classic line up with Gabriel, Collins, Banks and Rutherford, that produced acclaimed albums such as SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND (a favorite of John Lennon). With Steve’s extraordinary versatility in both his electric guitar playing and his composing, he involves influences from many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is equally adept in his classical albums.
With GENESIS, Steve’s guitar playing produced some of the most memorable moments, from the sensitivity of his acoustic sound on Horizons and Blood on the Rooftops to the dramatic rock guitar solos of Firth of Fifth and Fountain of Salmacis. As he embarked on his solo career he developed his exceptional range, pushing musical boundaries into exciting areas, inventing new sounds and also techniques such as ‘tapping’. His solo career went from strength to strength resulting in the highly successful single Cell 151 in the mid-eighties, as well as the STEVE HACKETT and STEVE HOWE super group GTR, highly successful in America.
GENESIS’S induction into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME in March 2010 stands as a testament to the enduring qualities of their music. Steve has always held a torch for the classic Genesis music. His GENESIS REVISITED II, a double CD, involved several iconic artists and contains many Genesis favourites. It was released in late October 2012. A Genesis Revisited worldwide tour in 2013 was followed by a Genesis Extended tour in 2014 and has continued to tour his particular brand of GENESIS REVISITED by popular demand, interspersed with the might and majesty of his own solo material.
With the announcement throughout Europe and the UK, of his climactic 2019 tour SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND combined with the 40th anniversary of his inaugural solo album SPECTRAL MORNINGS, Steve has ignited huge interest throughout the world to witness this spectacular show.
Steve Hackett announces the release of his new studio album ‘At The Edge Of Light’ for Friday, January 25th, 2019.

Best Qualities You Should Look For In A Virtual Assistant
Having a virtual assistant in your company will be a valuable asset especially when you are still starting up where your resources are small and your funds are still limited. Start-up business owners are entrepreneurs who needs to handle their time efficiently and must focus more on the tasks that will increase the development and growth of the business. A virtual assistant plays a critical role in managing valuable time for businessmen by performing non-critical tasks and other functions.
There are countless sources where companies can hire virtual assistants. You can get suggestions from colleagues, friends or by just checking the internet. There are a lot of trustworthy online market platforms and websites that provide expert virtual assistants. Regardless of where they work, be it at home or inside a shared office space, it’s always essential to screen all of the applicants before hiring them.
So what qualifications should a virtual assistant should have?
Reliable
Reliability is one of the best qualities a virtual assistant must have. No matter how great there resume is, your working relationship will not work if you can’t trust your VA. When you give them a task such as buying tiktok followers or getting social media followers at Igreviewhub.org, a VA should be able to answer your questions and report the progress of their work. You should not be the one who is always asking for updates.
Competent
For any kind of project, you need to determine each candidate’s technical and fundamental skills. Fundamentals compose of communication skills, internet proficiency, emailing, and mastery in several software. Technical skills refer to the overall scope of the work. If you want a VA who will handle your social media accounts, you will need to test the candidate with their knowledge in using top social media platforms. A candidate does not have to be the best out there but they must possess a certain level of competence.
Honest
Virtual assistants handle a lot of work that can require managing of private information. This may include managing email addresses to handling credit cards to book for flights and accommodation. When looking for a virtual assistant, it is essential that they display the virtue of honesty during the interview. You can ask them how to handle private information and call some of their references to check out on them before doing a hire.
Own Their Mistakes
A professional VA is never scared to own up to mistakes they have done at work. Having this quality makes it easier to maintain work relationship. A good virtual assistant values their job and their contribution to the company’s success. They must know how to own mistakes so they can be better in the future. Owning mistakes also signifies a person’s accountability which is another great quality you should look for in a virtual assistant.
Attention to Detail
A great VA should be keen to detail. Virtual assistants usually communicate with clients, know how to answer calls and emails professionally, and handle important tasks. You would want someone who spends extra effort on searching and correcting mistakes and someone who goes the extra mile to ensure that all data are right. Of course, humans will commit little mistakes from time to time, however when you hire someone who is keen on details, you won’t have to waste time going back and rechecking all the work.

Billie Eilish Announces 2020 Arena Where Do We Go? World Tour
Global, chart-topping Interscope/Darkroom Records artist Billie Eilish has announced her 2020 arena WHERE DO WE GO? WORLD TOUR, produced by Live Nation. Starting on March 8 in Miami, FL, WHERE DO WE GO? tour will take her live show to some of the world’s biggest arenas including New York City’s Madison Square Garden on March 15.
Following the release of her official music video for ‘all the good girls go to hell’ – accompanied with the important call to action on climate change – Billie Eilish continues to set an example by partnering with non-profit organization REVERB for her upcoming tour. To help create and encourage an eco-conscious environment both backstage and for her fans, Billie Eilish will be allowing fans to bring their re-fillable water bottles to the shows, water-stations will be available at every venue for both attendees and crew backstage, plastic straws will not be permitted and a Billie Eilish Eco-Village will be stationed at every show, providing attendees information and resources on ways to help combat climate change and preserve the Earth.
Last month, Billie Eilish earned her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘bad guy,’ taken from her multi-platinum global smash debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
Billie Eilish is officially the first artist born this millennium to achieve both a No. 1 album and single, and is now the third female solo artist in the 31-year history with multiple songs topping the Billboard Alternative Songs airplay chart (alongside Alanis Morrissett and Sinead O’Connor). “bad guy” also hit #1 in the Pop Songs airplay chart after leading the Alternative Songs airplay. Her album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? — released on March 29 — debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, has since returned to the top spot two additional times this year, and is currently 2019’s best-selling album in North America. Recently, Billie Eilish graced the cover of Rolling Stone, V and ELLE, and has amassed more that 17-billion combined global streams to date.
