Join us at Base31’s Sergeants Mess Hall for an intimate evening of acoustic country music with Owen Riegling, the breakout star from Mildmay, Ontario, whose rise began with a triumph at the 2022 Emerging Artists Showcase at Boots & Hearts. Hailing from a town of 1,200, Riegling's roots run deep in the fabric of rural life, where dirt bikes and pond hockey on his family's 100-acre farm shaped his early years. Now, armed with a captivating voice and genuine small-town charm, Riegling is set to captivate audiences far beyond his hometown, as he embarks on a journey that has taken him to Nashville and beyond. Don't miss the chance to witness this rising country music sensation in an intimate setting as he performs a one of a kind acoustic set.

ABOUT THE VENUE

Sergeants Mess Hall

The 177-seat Sergeants Mess Hall at Base31 is the newest performance venue to open in Prince Edward County. This architectural gem has been renovated and repurposed as a unique and intimate concert venue, featuring state-of-the art sound and lighting, with its original historic charm and character retained. The Sergeants Mess Hall has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1939. The building was originally built as a mess hall for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery School during World War II. During the war, the building served as a gathering place for the sergeants who were stationed at the base. It was a place where they could relax, eat meals, and socialize with their fellow soldiers. After the war, the base was decommissioned and the building served a variety of purposes over the years, including as a community centre, a school, and a storage facility.
