The Bayfield Concert Series was founded in 2008 by Bayfield's own Peter Meades and Ryan Heerschap of I BOOK SHOWS entertainment agency in Toronto. Their partnership was formed after many frustrating discussions about having to go to larger city centers to attend great Canadian concert performances. Bayfield, often referred to as Ontario's best kept secret, has been the vacation and weekend getaway destination to thousands for nearly a century. The town has great pubs, restaurants, hotels and beaches - why not bring Canada's best performers to Bayfield? Better yet, why not create a sanctuary experience for artists that come to Bayfield in return for great music culture? A short time later the Bayfield Concert Series was born and Peter and Ryan have since combined their unique talents and love of music to bring some of Canada's best performers to the cozy venue of the historic Bayfield Town Hall.
