Thursday September 27th Sarah Slean at Lee's Palace Danny Michel at the Rivoli my friends from ottawa Alicide at the Free Times Cafe and now this concert... How can I be at four places at once? Toronto Show To Benefit NYC Victims Wednesday September 19, 2001 @ 05:30 PM By: ChartAttack.com Staff Staggered Crossing In what's sure to be the first of many benefit shows for the survivors and victims of New York's horrific World Trade Centre attack, a concert with some pretty impressive talent lined up has been set for next week in Toronto. The gig, to take place on Thursday, September 27 in the T-Dot's venerable Phoenix Concert Theatre, will feature Canadian musicians from a whole range of musical styles and radio dials, from new rock to adult contemporary to urban. All proceeds (not just the profit - we're talking absolutely everything raised) will go directly to the Canadian Red Cross USA Appeal Relief Fund. Tickets are available at all the usual Ticketmaster Outlets, as well as Rotate This and Sonic Temple. It's a 19+ show (fair warning to all you hard rocking kids with fake IDs) with the doors opening at 7:30 and the music getting underway at eight. So, who's gonna be there? Already confirmed artists include: earnest pop-rockers Staggered Crossing, singer-songwriters Tara MacLean and Martina Sorbara, former Moxy Fruvous-guy Jian Ghomeshi (who, by the by, has very articulate commentary on the attack on his website, www.jianghomeshi.com) and Chart's favourite poor lil' rockstar, j. englishman. Also playing will be punk pipers the Mudmen, T.O.-based the Salads (fresh from doing IndieBlast Night in Ottawa and getting cash from VideoFact to make a video), the loud boys from Clarknova, Shebang!, the Badd-X-Ample Crew and Phatt Al - an old skool MC who has dropped rhymes with everyone from Len to Jacksoul to Punjabi By Nature. There's apparently even more names to be confirmed, but the card as it stands is already pretty damn stacked with radio darlings and up-and-comers. Even if it didn't have the worthy cause attached, the NYC 2001 Benefit still cuts the biggest swath across musical genres and styles since Moby's Area: One festival (minus the electronic music and the line-ups to get into the Docks). But with the worthy cause attached, it'll be an important night in the Toronto music scene. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster. - -Erik Missio ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2001 10:03:16 -0400 From: rturingan@dico.com Subject: Re: the benefit In other benefit news... much music presents THIS Music Without Borders As you all know, the MuchMusic Video Awards have been cancelled for this Sunday, but here?s the good news?Instead we will be broadcasting Music Without Borders: A National Benefit Concert and Discussion Forum, dealing with the U.S. tragedy of last week.
