Rainwater Whiskey is a hard hitting country band from the Ottawa Valley. The boys have been stomping all over local fairs and bars in the Ottawa and Valley area since 2013 putting a little whiskey on all your favourite old and modern country tunes. Now the guys have released their own original music (The Long Time Comin' EP) which is available on most online stores and are bringing their high energy show to some of the biggest stages in area. Some highlights for Rainwater Whiskey have been opening for The Road Hammers, Kira Isabella, Aaron Pritchett, The River Town Saints, Tebey, Eric Ethridge, Gord Bamford, Chad Brownlee, The Reklaws, Meghan Patrick, Jade Eagleson, James Barker Band and Brett Kissel, just name a few! They've also been involved with Jason Blaine's Annual Golf Charity event for the past two years, helping raise over $150,000. They currently show no signs of slowing down with a busy 2020 in the works, playing with more Canadian country royalty! So grab a glass, put some whiskey in it and get ready to “Redneck Represent” with Rainwater Whiskey!

We wait all year for this amazing event! Huge star studded concert on the Tuesday night, followed up by a crazy fun golf tournament and a wild tailgate party that we feel honoured to play for the 3rd year in a row! You don't want to miss this one, but in the off chance you can't make it, we'd love if you would consider donating as the all the funds stay in the community to help out local efforts.
So right off the top, we'd like to apologize for 2 things... 1) Taking so long to post this and 2) This may be quite a long post. We'd love it if you could hang in there and check out…
