October NEWS AID concert: support local journalism

https://www.westendphoenix.com/subscriptions/wep-fall-fundraiser-concert

As the big yellow board regularly discusses all the wretched cutbacks and dwindling coverage in local newspapers, thought I would share this. It's always good to do good, and to have something to look forward to is just a bonus.

The lineup is incredible.

Re: October NEWS AID concert: support local journalism

Just announced on Twitter there's only 38 tickets left, they're not inexpensive but it's a chance to support a great local newspaper.... think of it, going to a performance, headliners Rheostatics with Alex Lifeson, and so many more great Canadian musicians, getting to hear actual live music again, the hum of the amps, the squeak of a guitar string, see and secretly judge the outfits people will carefully put together to make it look like they threw any ol' thing on...

Have any of our radio stations even been supporting this event?

Seems like this would be the CBC's and 1010's Jay Michaels kind of event.
