The cat keeps coming back and Fred Penner’s appeal never goes away. Makes sense that kid classic Penner joins the inspiring voices of The Tenors to raise cash for children’s music programs at this benefit for the education charity MusiCounts. The freshest performance should come from Toronto’s one-to-watch country singer, Sacha. Her summer EP, The Best Thing, sounds like a 2020 take on Fearless-era Taylor Swift, establishing Sacha as an exciting songwriter who follows and flaunts the genre’s rules.
