In light of current events, a portion of each ticket sold will go to UNICEF's Haiti relief fund, with a pledge page set up for additional donations. Have a heart on Valentine's; every bit helps!
PATRIZIA
Dubbed by CBC Radio 3 as "Canada's Next Sensation," this award winning diva combines powerful 4-octave operatic vocals with the stage presence of a true bona fide rock star! Patrizia's unique style of fusing opera with rock has garnered the praises from critics and fellow musicians across the country. Her 2 full-length releases are must-haves for any collection, and she has 3 Bravo!-funded videos to her name, two of which charted No 1 and No 2, while the other was featured at the Italian Film Festival. With new releases set for 2010, this is one explosive firecracker to watch and hear!
BASIA LYJAK
Basia Lyjak is a straight-up rock chick! A petite, spitfire package of catchy tunes, raw & sexy soaring vocals, and try-&-stop-me attitude, this FACTOR-award winning singer packs a punch! With her band of Canadian rock all-stars - guitarist Ron Bechard (Crash Karma), bassist Dave Carreiro (Nigels 11 feat. Chris Kirkpatrick of 'Nsync), drummer Dale Harrison (The Headstones) & multi-instrumentalist Pat Kelly - she defies anyone who hears her not to feel her passion, talent & drive. With 5 self-funded releases, a video and tons of press and performances under her belt, Basia's making more indie noise than you can ignore. Stop missing out @BasiaLyjak.com!
FRANKIE WHYTE & THE DEAD IDOLS
Fronted by Frankie Whyte herself, this 4-piece rock band sounds and looks about as L.A. as it gets - that blend of dirty rock n' roll riffs with the infectious pop sensibility that keeps you bopping for days. Having just toured with KISS this summer, and with their second release, "Hollywood Ending�A"u` available on iTunes and new demos posted online all the time, this band is going to blow up any day! Hop on the wagon and join the adventure!
