The day’s events includes the induction of Steve Smith into the Purple Hill Hall of Honour.

This is Purple Hill’s first show since December, when musicians from across Ontario and other parts of Canada gathered at a benefit for fiddling icon and Forest City London Music Hall of Fame inductee John P. Allen, who received a heart transplant in September and hadn’t worked since that spring.
