Music is at it’s most powerful when it makes a difference. In its biggest moments, music can change lives. And with the 35th Anniversary edition of Parachute Club’s Rise Up, The Common Cause Collective (3XC) is aiming to do just that. All proceeds from sales, streaming, etc. of Rise Up Redux (35th Anniversary Edition) will go […]
The Canadian country music community is often compared to a family by the artists and industry members. And in the wake of the terrible tragedy that shook a small town and a nation, that family is coming together to honour and support the Humboldt Broncos. Country Thunder, one of the largest country music festivals in Canada […]
On Thursday night in Toronto, 20 tough as nails music industry professionals stepped into the ring to square off in support of the Unison Benevolent Fund. Red Carpet Rumble (hosted by Fearless Fred of 102.1 The Edge), saw music industry men and women, (trained, taught and ready to rumble), came to The Concert Hall at […]
Thursday night we joined Canadian music fans and supporters at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto in support of MusiCounts. With a great lineup of Canadian talent on stage, nobody in the audience was disappointed with what they heard, or why they showed up on a less than stellar winter weather night. There was singing […]
It’s that time of year again – moustaches are sprouting on Mo Bros all over the place, and Mo Sistas are joining the campaign to help raise funds and awareness to support men’s health initiatives. Here in Toronto I’ve been lucky enough to have a team of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas for the last […]
Movember is ending… but don’t be sad. It’s been another great campaign for the Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 and all of the Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world. This year The Union had 5 awesome members and I am proud to have been on the same side as my 4 teammates. Sean, […]
Well, it happened… for the 5th year in a row our friends came out in support of a great cause, had a bunch of fun, and wowed me. Last night’s Movember Challenge Karaoke event was always supposed to be smaller than last year, it had to be – the minute 2013’s event ended we all […]
We’ve reached the halfway point of Movember 2014 – and I finally feel like I have a real moustache on my face. Thanks to my dad and my cousin Scott for their donations so far – here’s hoping that there will be more thank yous to come between now and the end of the month. […]
This morning I took on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge after I was nominated by both my little brother Christopher and my cousin Shannon over the weekend. So with the help of Brian (in charge of water) and Chris (in charge of the camera) I completed my Ice Bucket Challenge on the front lawn at […]
Alas, the month is coming to and end and tomorrow moustaches will disappear from the faces of men all over the world. But it was worth it! The Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 have had an amazing month if I do say so myself. As of right now our team has $4508 in donations submitted […]
Movember 2012 ended almost 5 months ago… and yet I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was my most successful year in a fundraising capacity. It was the most successful year I’ve had as part of a Movember team. It was an amazingly successful year for all Canadian MoBros and MoSistas. This morning […]
Last summer I met a little boy named Weslee. He is 4 years old and currently on a waiting list, hoping to find the perfect donor match for a heart transplant. I met Weslee and his family at a Ford event in St. Thomas, ON and without being told about his circumstances we never would […]
On Thursday I turned 31 years old – it wasn’t so bad, I highly recommend (if you haven’t done it already) that you give it a shot. I have to say (because it has to be said) that I was completely overwhelmed by the Facebook posts and tweets and text messages that I received from […]
I’ve been tuned in to Hockey Day in Canada on the CBC today and the word community has been used a lot in the pieces from around the country and in the host city of Peterborough where I lived and spent some great time in when I was younger. The use of the word and […]
