The Gift of Music The Gift of Giving

It’s that time of year again. Can you believe it? Next month is Christmas, the season of giving and as usual, I’m in no way, shape or form, ready for it. However, the Gift of Music team Kid Kut, Darling Nicky and Ivplay, sure are.  The second annual Gift of Music Fundraiser, takes place on Thursday Dec 8th 2011, at the Hard Rock Cafe (259 Yonge Street at Dundas) and will surely be a night of entertainment and exceptional talent.  The event,  in support of Music Counts Canada, promises to give you a night filled with live performances by a star-studded roster of artists that have made an impact on the Canadian music industry, and share their love of music.

The 2011 Gift of Music is hosted by Canadian Hip-Hop legend Michie “Badgal” Mee with special live performances by Andreena Mill, Divine Brown, Slakah the Beatchild, August Rigo, A-GAME, Rich Kidd, Ms Paige, Shi Wisdom, Omar Lunan, Shaun Boothe, contemporary violinist Yosvani with appearances from several surprise guests. An after party will follow with music by three of Toronto’s top rated DJs: Canada’s Most Versatile – Jester, 2011 Stylus Rated NEXT DJ of the Year DJ Rych Kydd and DJ Ononymous of 105.5 CHRY.

Once again 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Music Counts Canada. The 2010 event accumulated approximately $5000.00 from ticket sales, a silent auction (still have the blackberry bold that I won last year!) and raffle.

Don’t forget to check out this star-studded event in support of a great cause! Will see you there.  Check out pics from last year’s event…
