LIVERPOOL - The Tribute returns.

The Hank Snow Tribute, an annual fundraiser for the Hank Snow Home Town Museum, in Liverpool, made its return to the big stage last weekend, opening on Aug. 17 and continuing through the weekend.

The last big Tribute was held in 2019, although several smaller outdoor festivals to continue the tradition, but in a smaller capacity.

This year's event featured a wide variety of 40 veteran and new artists and bands who took to the main stage at Queens Place Emera Centre over the four days.

Headline artists included Ruth Manning & The Prospectors; a mixture of Nova Scotia Music Hall of Famers; the Rhinestone Romeos with Jeff Tooker; Southern Breeze with Bernie LeBlanc and Ray Legere; and the weekend was closed off with Joyce Seamone on the final day, the afternoon of Aug. 20.
