Well known artist Susan
Hay, who resides in Benmiller
and Haliburton, will be the
guest artist for August at the
Co-op Gallery. Painting seri-
ously since 2000, Susan has
been a regular exhibitor in
local shows for many
years. This past year was a
banner year for Susan; her
show entitled "Colours of the
Land" was held at the Blyth
Festival Art Gallery, "Land-
scapes Alive" was held in the
Ethel Curry Gallery in Hali-
burton and she won the
Huron Arts and Heritage Net-
work Individual Artist award.
Landscapes are Susan's
passion although she paints in
a number of different styles
and other subject mat-
ters. Lately inspired by a trip to
see her daughter and family in
the Yukon, Susan used photo
references from this trip to
create this new work.
Susan's work is also exhibited
at the Clinton Health Centre,
the Main Street Gallery in Bay-
field, Rail's End Gallery in Hal-
iburton on occasion at Eliza-
beth's Gallery, Goderich and

Music in the Fields Artist Profile
The Road
Hammers
Submitted
The Road Hammers will
be playing at Lucknow's
Music in the Fields Main
Stage 8:15-9:15 p.m. on
Saturday, August 23, 2014.
The Road Hammers are
a five piece no-nonsense
mix of Country, Southern
Rock and Blues singing
songs of maverick culture
and the open road.
The band is the brain-
child of Jason McCoy, the
2004 Canadian Country
Music Association Male
Vocalist of The Year. The
idea was born out of
Jason's desire to develop a
new project where he
could sing a style of music
which formed him as an
artist, while paying tribute
to the men and women
who call the highways of
the world their home.
Jason found kindred
spirits in Alberta's Clayton
Bellamy whose rough n'
ready vocals provide the
soulful fuel that kicks the
Hammers into overdrive
and Chris Byrne whose
smooth high harmonies
and solid bass lines are
both the foundation and
finishing touches which
define the distinctive
sound that is The Road
Hammers.
The band has recorded
a charged mix of truckin'
classics and new originals.
Songs like "Girl On The
Billboard", "East Bound
and Down", and Little
Feat's classic "Willin", find
a new and vibrant life
along side infectious fresh
tunes like "Overdrive",
"Keep On Truckin" and
the autobiographical flag-
ship anthem "I'm A Road
Hammer':
With songs that explore
the universal themes of
losin; lovin 'and livin' -all
delivered in an amazingly
fierce package - this fleet
of melodic mayhem will
haul in music fans across
the country with its
appeal! This is the defini-
tive and ultimate driving
album.
CMT (Country Music
Television) Canada could
see the writing on the wall
and approached the band
early on about document-
ing the making of the
album.
A killer album, a revved
up prime time TV series
and an energetic live
show, The Road Hammers
get out there and work it
hard. This is more than
just a remarkable band -
this is a musical experi-
ence. Strap yourself in and
hang on; the ride is just
beginning for The Road
Hammers!
The Road Hammers
will be performing at
Lucknow's Music in
the Fields on Saturday,
August 23, 2014.
