Opening Day Entertainment Group, Inc (ODEG) (Universal) is comprised of three labels and supporting management, publishing, design, and distribution outlets. Founded in 2003, the Toronto-based indie has risen rapidly among the ranks, and is widely recognized for its genre-defying versatility.
Since its inception, ODEG has been on the fast track to cumulative success: Grammy-nominated and Juno & Germany Echo winning Canadian Brass is actively touring worldwide and recording more than ever; Top 10 urban/pop vocalist Gary Quinn (GQ) and chart-topping R&B/Soul Recording of the Year Juno nominee X-Quisite were No.1 and No.2 Independent Artists on Canadian radio; recent ODEG releases include
Stride from Zoë Bentley , And So It Goes, a sophisticated classical/crossover collection of old and new from baritone virtuoso Giles Tomkins , and from the man known to pack the dancefloor with only his voice and an acoustic guitar, Randy Hutchings roots/Americana release Atlantic Avenue.
OPENING DAY IS PROUD TO BE AFFILIATED WITH A FINE GROUP OF ARTISTS.
