Canadian Company Back on Track and the Canadian Kennel Club Announce Thrilling New Partnership

In what might be described as a “paws across the water” collaboration, Back on Track, distributor of the therapeutic functional fabric line Welltex and the Canadian Kennel Club, the primary registry body for purebred dogs in Canada, announce a multi-faceted, exclusive multi-year partnership destined to benefit both dogs and their two-legged stewards.

The partnership between Back on Track and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) pivots on several exciting key points, namely: Back on Track will serve as a sponsor of CKC’s esteemed Top Dogs Program, awarded annually to Canada’s top dogs who accumulate points throughout the year at CKC-sanctioned events. As well, Back on Track will be the exclusive therapeutic supplier of wearable human and dog products to CKC, which will be available in CKC’s online store.

And there’s more. Back on Track, in partnership with a leading Canadian veterinarian, will present a series of blogs with advice and information on sport-dog injuries and leading-edge rehabilitation strategies published on CKC’s blog, The Dish. This valuable content will support CKC’s 19,000 members and all Canadian dog owners as they pursue their passion for participating in dog sports. Stay tuned for additional benefits exclusively for CKC members.

Back on Track — first on the market and continually at the forefront of therapeutic fabric technology assisting dogs, horses, and humans with a wide selection of outstanding products like leg wraps, braces, blankets, and mats — is delighted to align with the esteemed CKC, which registers some 50,000 puppies per year while sanctioning 3,000 events at 600 breed and performance clubs.

Back on Track sells therapeutic human, horse and dog products that are specifically designed to positively impact chronic pain and athletic pain symptoms using a functional fabric called Welltex. Established in Sweden in 2000 by a medical doctor, Welltex is the fusion of bio-ceramic minerals with fabric thread that has the ability to absorb near-infrared energy waves of the body (the body’s heat signature) and release back into the body far-infrared energy waves. The latter are emitted back into the tissue to a depth of several centimetres, resulting in vaso-dilation which increases blood circulation and oxygen delivery on a cellular level. The result is a non-invasive pain management tool which may help relieve muscle tension and strengthen the body’s own ability to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and heal injuries. Whether in the form of a soothing dog blanket for performance canines, an agility-enhancing leg wrap for competitive dogs or a supportive knee brace for humans, Back on Track® products perceptibly combat pain and boost strength and dexterity… whatever the species. Thousands of users worldwide testify to the power of Welltex which was first on the market and remains at the forefront of therapeutic fabric technology with a wide selection of products.

Steven Hyden’s book Twilight of the Gods shows the possible end of Classic Rock

The author of the critically acclaimed Your Favorite Band is Killing Me, Steven Hyden’s book Twilight of the Gods offers an eye-opening exploration of the state of classic rock, its past and future, the impact it has had, and what its loss would mean to an industry, a culture, and a way of life.

Since the late 1960s, a legendary cadre of artists—including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Black Sabbath, and the Who—has revolutionized popular culture and the sounds of our lives. While their songs still get airtime and some of these bands continue to tour, its idols are leaving the stage permanently. Can classic rock remain relevant as these legends die off, or will this major musical subculture fade away as many have before, Steven Hyden asks.

In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and journalism, Hyden stands witness as classic rock reaches the precipice. Traveling to the eclectic places where geriatric rockers are still making music, he talks to the artists and fans who have aged with them, explores the ways that classic rock has changed the culture, investigates the rise and fall of classic rock radio, and turns to live bootlegs, tell-all rock biographies, and even the liner notes of rock’s greatest masterpieces to tell the story of what this music meant, and how it will be remembered, for fans like himself.

Twilight of the Gods is also Hyden’s story. Celebrating his love of this incredible music that has taken him from adolescence to fatherhood, he ponders two essential questions: Is it time to give up on his childhood heroes, or can this music teach him about growing old with his hopes and dreams intact? And what can we all learn from rock gods and their music—are they ephemeral or eternal?

Get it here.

Underworld and Iggy Pop Just Released A New Single “Bells & Circles” And Holy Smokes, It’s GREAT

Underworld & Iggy Pop have released a collaborative track Bells & Circles. The song was recorded in London during an afternoon tea encounter, as if this sort of brilliant hookup happens daily. Well, it might if you’re Underworld or Iggy Pop, but the fact it features Iggy delivering a spoken word account about when it was acceptable to smoke on airplanes, that makes it even more super.

Canada’s Music Incubator Now Accepting Applications For Summer And Fall 2018

Canada’s Music Incubator is now accepting applications for their late summer and fall 2018 offerings of Artist Entrepreneur (Aug/Sept) and Artist Manager (Oct/Nov) in Toronto, ON. Both programs help emerging artists and artist managers across all genres build their businesses and careers through customized mentorship and professional development.

Artists and managers work hands-on with CMI and their robust network of trusted music industry professionals to develop their business, craft and confidence in the areas of revenue development, marketing, branding, social media, publicity, streaming, radio, copyright, promotion, touring, funding, team building, contracts and more. Artists will also experience an in-depth suite of creative workshops, including live and studio performance, vocals and songwriting collaborations.

“What stuck out to me about Artist Entrepreneur,” says award-winning artist, IsKwé, “wasn’t just the learning experience, but the relationships that were built—both with the team at CMI and within the broader music industry.  Everyone was really invested in helping the artists build their business, and that’s not always easy to find in this industry!”

Scottie Irving, Ottawa-based artist manager reflects, “When I started managing artists, I had nothing but hopes, hunches, and assumptions. Artist Manager helped me organize the chaos by giving me access to priceless knowledge, proven expertise and informed advice. It saved me from having to learn countless things the hard way.”

“Success is defined by the artist or manager,” says Vel Omazic, CMI’s executive director, “we exist as an organization to help them, regardless of genre or style, to bring focus to their goals and to provide them with the tools, processes and support needed to fill the gaps in their business and creative development.”

Ongoing access to CMI mentors and industry resources for artists and managers is included, at no additional cost, as a part of both programs.

Space for both sessions is limited.  Apply online today!

Artist Entrepreneur – August 7 to September 28, 2018 – Tuesdays to Fridays – 10am-4pm

Artist Manager – October 9 to November 30, 2018 – Tuesdays to Fridays – 10am-4pm

Famous PEOPLE Players Dinner Theatre Honours Andy Kim with the Daring To Dream Award

Andy Kim has added a new award this month to his list of accolades. The Famous PEOPLE Players Dinner Theatre has honoured the Canadian music icon behind classic hits such as “Sugar, Sugar” and “Rock Me Gently” with the Daring To Dream Award in applause for his continued charity work within the community.

“Famous PEOPLE Players honoured the great Andy Kim with the Daring To Dream Award for his tireless work to so many charitable organizations,” says Famous PEOPLE Players’ Diane Dupuy. On his award, FPP said “Andy Kim is a renowned artist who inspires his audience through his musical lyrics! Not only is he known for his hit songs “Rock Me Gently” and “Sugar, Sugar”, but mostly for the silent use of his humanitarian talents and music by helping to make this world a better place.”

Famous PEOPLE Players Dinner Theatre is known for their exquisite, animated performances featuring life-size caricatures and props, all defying gravity before your eyes.

Andy Kim was born in Montreal, and found fame in New York City at just 16 years old when he wrote “How’d We Ever Get This Way?” — the first of what would be nine Billboard Top 40 hits — including #1 songs “Rock Me Gently” and “Sugar, Sugar,” one of Billboard’s “Greatest Songs of All Time.”

A true Canadian son, Andy has been awarded the country’s top industry honor twice, the JUNO Award for outstanding achievements in the record industry, as well as the Indie Award for Favorite Solo Artist in 2005. Andy is a member of Songwriters Hall of Fame and was inducted into Billboard’s Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2010. Over his epic career, Andy has sold over 30 million records, with songs covered by music history’s greats, including Wilson Pickett, Tom Jones, Ike & Tina Turner, and Bob Marley. His latest album, It’s Decided, was released in April, 2015 on Arts & Crafts to critical acclaim. In May, 2016, Andy was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame. Andy Kim’s music can be heard in hit series such as Showcase’s Ray Donovan and Netflix’s Mindhunters. Pizza Pizza is currently using their own version of Sugar, Sugar in their campaigns to celebrate their 50th Anniversary throughout 2017 and into 2018.

“It was a magical evening,” says Dupuy of the sold-out crowd in attendance May 12th. “His music came to life on stage under the illumination of black light, which enthralled the audience to standing ovation.

“The money raised supported our educational programs for schools to attend performances and workshops by FPP.”
