["Tab Siddiqui" Subject: OAC: Quebec City protest CD/benefit show... Hey, kids... Some of you have heard about the compilation CD local musician Chris Brown (of Brown & Fenner, formerly of Bourbon Tabernacle Choir) is putting together to benefit those arrested in Quebec City. It's a staggering project, to be released on Ani DiFranco's label this month, with contributions from the likes of Sarah Harmer, Barenaked Ladies, and more. For more details: http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusicArtistsD/difranco_ani.html Anyhow, I'd e-mailed Chris last month regarding the project, suggesting a benefit show to go with the CD release would be a good idea, and his friend, local singer-songwriter Jason Collett (the host of Radio Monday songwriter's series at Ted's) has picked up the ball and is in the process of getting together some of the artists on the CD to perform at a benefit concert *July 11th* at the Phoenix. No idea exactly *who* will be performing that night, but expect a few big-name surprises, as both Chris and Jason have a lot of friends in the biz, and most of the artists on the CD jumped at the chance to participate, and hopefully will for the show as well, depending on their schedules. Just putting the word out there in advance so that people can be on the lookout for the CD and further news of the show as details emerge.
